The Knitted Bumble Bee Booties are quick to knit up and the pattern is easy to follow with clear instructions.

These easy Bumble Bee Booties are a knitted baby bootie pattern that will have people cooing at every baby shower, soft play, and unsuspecting supermarket trip. With their stripy little bodies, embroidered eyes, and teensy knitted wings, they’re basically the most extra thing you can put on a baby’s feet, and that’s exactly why you need them in your life.

Plain baby booties are so last season.

Cast on these cute little bumble bee booties in time for summer, they are knitted in a cotton acrylic blend which is lovely and cool for warmer days, but practical too. The striped body section is worked separately to the head, and the two parts are then sewn together, with wings and details added at the end. The Buzzy Bees are sure to put a smile on baby’s face as their little antennae bob about on wriggling toes!
