Project: Converse Booties

So it's been a while since my last post. I have been extremely busy helping my husband run his small business. Being busy means great business, but I am so behind on my knitting projects. These are for my niece. Surprised? That little girl is going to be showered with knitted gifts made with so much love!
























Aren't these precious? I would be lying if I said that they were an easy knit because they were AWFUL! I felt like I was going insane while knitting them. The pattern is pretty confusing, but in the end it was worth it.

Here is the link to the pattern:

I tweaked the converse emblem a little. This blogger ironed on the felt circle and used a fabric marker to draw on the star. I wanted to sew the circle on and use a star button. A friend of mine suggested that maybe a felt star would look better. I think it might. Hobby Lobby did sell felt star stickers that you could stick on the felt circle and then stitch cute stitches around the edge of the stars. Good idea, friend! If I am insane enough to make another pair of these, I will do that. I still have to make the right bootie.

I hope you enjoy this pattern. My advice is to stick with it. Keep following the directions even when it makes absolutely no sense. It does work!


Happy Knitting!
