As the weather is cooling off, I'm finding it harder to keep my daughter's toes warm when we are indoors. Like most kids, she won't keep socks on. Our apartment is drafty, so I shopped online for indoor booties. I found a few, but at $20 each, I thought I could make something like my cozy felted slippers (that I still wear daily).
Free pattern: Ulrike's Felted Baby Booties
Size 9 needles, scrap yarn in red and coral, sewn velcro closure
Notes: The first wash left these too large, sized for a 3 or 4 year old. A second hot cycle shrunk them to fit her at 12 mo with a small amount of growing room (her foot is about 4 3/4" long now). I will add a little puffy paint to the soles for traction. She didn't seem to mind wearing these at all...I'm hopeful my solution has been found!
