Hi,
I wonder if there might be a smaller pattern for these adorable runners?
I made one following the instructions but it seems too big for a newborn.
Thanks,
Judy
Hi Judy,
My booties are 9 cm. Maybe you try thinner needles. Or you starts with 26 stitches. Row 2: kfb, k10, kfb, k1, kfb, k10, kfb, k1…
greetings Inge
Hi….I am anxious to make these….and just want to confirm…. kfb is knit from back?? Thank you in advance

Please tell me what is skp thank u
Hi Rifat,

greetings Inge
Hi Inge
I love your little bootees but I have never used a circular needle before would you please explain the abbreviations.
Kfb – does that mean knit into the back of the next stitch ?
SKP- ?
Hi Carol,
Kfb (k1 f&b) means knit 1 stitch in the front, then in the back. This is also called a Bar Increase
Here you can find all abbreviations https://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-glossary
best wishes
Inge
Hi,
Do you think this would work if you didn’t use a circular needle?
Trace
Hi Trace,
yes I took a circular needle too
Inge
Hi Trace,
sorry, now I see you don’t want to use a circular needle. Yes you can take any other needle
best wishes – Inge
Wondering if this pattern is for a newborn or little older, about to start knitting. . Thank you. Jeanette
Hi Janette,
the shoes are 7-8 cm long. If you need longer shoes cast on 4 stiches more or take a thicker yarn
How many inches are the shoelaces? And where did you purchase them?
Hallo,
the shoelaces are 60 cm / 23,62 inc. I buy it in Germany „Drogerie Müller“, I think you get it in a shoe shop too
Not sure what size of needles to use. The pattern is a bit confusing when explaining that.
If you are knitting strong you can take Needle 6, if you are knitting loose take 4
Bedankt voor het leuke patroon Hoeveel steken houd je over aan het einde? Ik bedoel zonder de tong
Hallo,
I think it will be 28 Stitches at last backside row
many greetings Inge
Hoeveel steken houd je over aan het einde van de zijkanten? Bedankt voor het leuke patroon
Die Geburt ist stets ein einzigartiges Erlebnis. Dabei spielt
es keine Rolle, ob es das erste Kind der Mutter ist, oder nicht.
Wichtig sind Liebe des persönlichen Umfelds, um dem Neugeborenen eine optimale Entwicklung zu gestatten.
