booties
Created with our lovely taupe and
green yarn, these adorable little shoes
will ensure babys feet keep cosy while
looking sweet and stylish at the same
time. Sarah Hazell has made the
booties using a rather fetching
pineapple cluster stitch. This technique
produces a lovely neat look that is less
puffy than popcorn or bobble stitches.

Designer
I really enjoyed
making these lovely
little booties. The
great thing about them is
that you can try any colour
combination and they will
still look effective. I adore the
green and taupe but I think
theyd also look fab using the
pink and yellow yarn
