Yarn: Scraps of Koigu KPM (dark purple, light purple, and blue) and Claudia's Handpainted (the green)
Needles: US 3 dpns

Mods/Notes: I only did one strap because I didn't have enough yarn for two. Also, this pattern is fabulous and is extremely addictive. I think these might be my favorite of the bunch.

All together now...
The above and the below were made for my fantastic cousin, who now not only has a two toddlers under the age of 4, but also newborn twin girls! It can't be easy, but seriously, the older two are so sweet and well-behaved that I bet they're already changing diapers and offering to help their mother.
Pattern: Suede Booties by Candi Jensen
Yarn: Berroco Suede (3/4 skein) and some white novelty yarn I've had forever
Needles: US 3 dpns
Start to Finish: July 25-26, 2009
Mods: For some reason, my first attempt at this pattern yielded some very large and oddly shaped booties, so I modified it thusly:
To begin, I cast on 16 sts rather than 26. Then, wherever the pattern said “k11” in the first section, I knit 6.
In shaping the instep, I knit 24 instead of 29 in row 1, then knit 16 instead of 21 in row 16.
I just love the idea of knitted baby Ugg booties.

I love these - every pair. My sister is pregnant - and if she finds out there is a boy in there - I gotta make some Ugg boots for the little fellow!
So cute!
So cute, so cute! I wish I had more babies to knit for. I love booties!
Adorable! And you're so prolific too!
Stop! These are too cute! I'm particularly fond of the green/blue/brown booties. I really like the mods and color combo. Well done!
Absolutely Adorable !!!
They are all so cute! I especially love the uggs. I think I'll have to make some of those...
Thank you SO much! They are seriously cute, especially in person. I can't wait to get pictures of the girls in them... stupid summer heat. Could you come talk to W and CB and tell them that they should be as sweet and well behaved as you make them sound? LOL!
AHHHH! Almost makes me want to have another baby-almost:) They are adorable.
those are so sweet! i love those boots!
every single pair turned out so cute -- so cute! i finally sent out my pairs of tiny shoes to my sister-in-law's sister.
These are all sooooo cute!!
We are kind of dragging our feet on having baby #2, but I'm thinking it might be worth it just to have a pair of those booties! If we make an announcement in a few months, you'll know why :)
okay.. they are all so darn cute!
but the suede booties! LOVE!!!!!!!
I love the colors inthe first pic! And the suede booties are sooo cute- they've been on my list forever! Here comes fall and my baby is getting bigger, I'd better get knitting!
Just darling! I esp. love the top pair of Saartje's booties -- great, unique color combo. What a fun pattern to knit.
over the moon for those! i just need to have someone have a baby to make a pair, or two or ten!
I simply loved that knitted uggs? they are so cute and I would like to knit such present for my friends' child. Could you tell me where it is possible to find this pattern, because I cannot open the your link...
thank you in advance :))
