Autumn Knitting
Rose has been helping me knit baby booties for two friends whose daughters are having babies…
The Baby Uggs turned out vastly too big for newborn feet (a combination of the stretchy yarn and the non-fitting pattern, so I took a tried and true baby sock pattern and made one pair as writ, and a second pair with the “ugg cuff” (and I added picots along the edge for cuteness).
Tansy and Min think the floppy uggs make perfect Hitty-warmers!

These precious Hittys look adorable in their snug sack booties. The” newly created” little girl is delightful…love the side part in her hair and her sweet face…she looks right at home with Tansy, Rose and Min.
I think they think they might get to keep these particular “Hitty Sleeping Bags”! The new girl is a sweetie! Very amiable.
wonderful warm colors…perfect for autumn. The girls look very satisfied with the uggs! Glad to see the new girl is fitting into the family quite nicely.
They all think that no-one would actually want a garment called Ugg, so the booties will probably be left for the Hittys to claim. That is what they hope for anyway.
Prettiness comes in such a wide variety of colors and dolls and you’ve captured some of those pretties here.
The Hittys and human are all glad you think so – it was a nice cool fall day and the colours seemed fall-ish to us!
Your new girl is utterly winsome! and the bootees are lovely! Min and Tansy look soooooooo comfie in them!
The shopkeeper printed off the Ugg pattern for me, and persuaded me I would need two balls of yarn to make them up… Min and Tansy were glad when this turned out to be a mistake. Rose and I have so far made six booties and there looks like enough yarn for one more pair.
What festive yarn! And Baby Uggs certainly sound like something that might follow the Block Twins home!
perhaps I had better do a spot of advance admonishment, in case they do find some baby uggs and lure them home!
