Tom Stay-on Baby Shoe

Knitted baby shoes that stay on. A really cute shoe that stands up to kicking, crawling and pulling for reliably warm little toes! No fiddly ties, they slip on easily then the structured ankle band keeps them on, while still being flexible and comfy.

Technical detail The pattern has been technically edited, you will practise knitting in the round and Kitchener stitch. The pattern is suitable for beginner to intermediate. There are full photo tutorials for all of the techniques plus photo stitch guides. The pattern has minimal seams. Blocking is advised to give a professional finish.

Choosing your yarn The pattern was designed using a Sport/5ply held double. When choosing your yarn look for a rough gauge of 25 stitches, 34 rows to 10cm. Ball weight examples would be 50g (1.75oz) to a length of 125m (137yds). Also requires soft elastic for ankle casing. Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, Cascade 220 Superwash Sport or Rowan Baby Cashsoft Merino are great yarn options.
