The Wave of Babies Booties are a quick, fun seamless project. The sole of the bootie is first worked back-and-forth in garter stitch. Then you pick up stitches for the foot and work in the round.

A ribbed cuff and an i-cord tie help make sure the booties will stay on baby’s feet.

This pattern knits a pair of soft baby booties in a seamless, beginner‑friendly style. You start by knitting the sole back and forth in garter stitch, then pick up stitches for the foot section and knit in the round to form the body of the bootie. The design includes a ribbed cuff and a little i‑cord tie, both added to help the booties stay securely on little feet.

The booties are sized for newborns up to 3–6 months and use a modest amount of yarn — making them a quick, satisfying project. The combination of simple stitch work (stockinette + garter) and clever construction makes them ideal for a first baby bootie project, or for gifting handmade warmth to a newborn.
