DIY knitting patterns for baby shoes

Baby's feet are small and often stuck in cute little socks. Alternatively, baby shoes are suitable for every season and come in numerous creative designs. You can even knit them yourself using knitting patterns for baby shoes from Crazypatterns. All are fully described and illustrated - there's something for every level of knitter. For example, how about baby shoes in sneaker design, models with funny animal motifs or little ballerinas?

Knitting your own baby shoes with knitting patterns

Baby shoes are needed in several variations. All models should always fit snugly on the foot, as they, like baby gloves, are often taken off by the baby and thrown out of the pram. This happens less often with baby shoes that sit firmly on the foot. With the right knitting patterns for baby shoes, you can make some cute models for baby's feet yourself. The advantage is that you save money on buying expensive knitwear and at the same time enjoy a relaxing hobby. Once you have learned the most important knitting techniques, you can do the hobby almost on the side, even watching TV and talking while doing it.

Baby shoes in fruit design

Small, cute fruits - you can knit these with our knitting patterns for baby shoes, which come in many different variations. How about the banana, melon or strawberry look, for example? The raspberry or lemon can also serve as a model for knitting patterns for baby shoes. Bright colours really put you in a good mood and also stimulate your baby's sense of sight, which is not yet fully developed in the first few months of life. Choose thin or thick wool, depending on the season for which you are knitting the cute baby shoes.

Baby shoes with a bow

A bow spices up little baby shoes and makes them look even cuter. You can put it on the top or on the side and choose different sizes and colours. Depending on the knitting patterns for baby shoes, choose the one that suits you best. Baby shoes with a bow are ideal for summer, for example, if you choose the ballerina version. These look very playful and girly and go down well with babies and mothers alike. You can also add a buckle to the finished baby shoes so that they don't slip off your feet so easily.

Moccasins as baby shoes

Moccasins are a popular and very comfortable type of baby shoe. These are very flat shaped and easy to put on and take off. The small size and simple shape make these knitting patterns for baby shoes very popular, especially with beginners. Match them with colourful beads or short fringes to add to the moccasin look.

Animal design shoes

How about baby shoes that are modelled on the look of a cute duck? These shoes are not only something for animal lovers, but visually delight everyone at first sight. Use our knitting patterns for baby shoes to add a little face to these cute animal shoes. Alternatively, you can knit mouse shoes in soft wool with a mouse face. If you have some old wool scraps left over, you can easily make some whiskers out of them and attach them to the baby shoes. Small buttons or beads can be used as eyes. Make sure that they are sewn on so that they can't be torn off, so that they don't get into the baby's mouth as small parts.

Baby shoes in sporty sneaker design

Baby shoes look really sporty when they are knitted in a sneaker design. You can knit them easily and comfortably thanks to our knitting patterns for baby shoes, imitating the design of sneakers. Choose your favourite colour and make the fastening look like laces. These are usually white and the rest of the shoe can be a bright colour like yellow, red, green or blue.

Warming baby boots

You can knit cute shoes that are really warm when you use these knitting patterns for baby shoes. These models are knitted entirely in the design of real boots and therefore turn out much higher than other variants. They warm baby's feet perfectly, especially in winter, and because of the larger surface area they can be decorated with individual patterns. Small bows to close the boots go very well with them, so that they are guaranteed not to slip off the feet or be taken off on the way.

Baby booties as a figurine

Why not get really creative and knit baby booties knitting patterns dedicated to a very special character. How about baby shoes in unicorn design, for example? Or a funny snowman with a carrot for a nose? Of course, many other motifs such as Christmas elves or pixies also fit the bill to make baby shoes even cuter.

Cute baby booties

These baby shoes, which are knitted in the shape of boots, are really nice and warm. This makes them much taller than other models and warms little baby feet especially well. These knitting patterns for baby booties are ideal if you are looking for a pair for the winter. You can use beautiful patterns on baby booties. How about the popular Norwegian pattern, for example, which not only goes down well on baby shoes, but also on socks and jumpers.

What you need to knit baby shoes

If you're a knitting pro, you probably already have all the equipment you need at home. If you are just starting to knit, it's best to get the following basics.

Knitting wool in different colours
Knitting needles in different thicknesses
1 circular needle
Sewing needles for individual pieces
small items such as beads, bows and buttons

You can always knit baby shoes with thinner and thicker wool to match the season. For cold days in winter, it's best to use cuddly, thick wool; during the rest of the year, you can use somewhat thinner versions. Baby shoes are often worn over socks. As soon as babies can crawl, they come into contact with dust and dirt, so good washability of the wool is an advantage.

Add variety to the shoe design by not following the knitting patterns for baby shoes exactly as described, but by slightly altering the small details. You can choose a different pattern, a different colour or add an extra detail such as a bow, pom-pom or motif to make them unique.
