Stay-On Baby Booties Using Big Bad Wool Weepaca
The Design
Karen Alfke adapted these cuties from a Swedish bootie pattern her mother used when the kids were small. The ribbed cuff and tie help them stay on even the liveliest of little feet. Plus, the Booties are so tiny and quick, you’ll be finished in an evening!
They’re super sweet in Big Bad Wool’s worsted-weight Weepaca—an incredibly soft half-and-half blend of fine merino and baby alpaca. Designed with your wee one in mind, Weepaca was created to be safe for hand-wash or a gentle, cold machine cycle. And that fun color palette—full of traditional shades and a few juicy pops—provides so much room for play!
