New Year, New Arrivals, New variation – Stripey Chukkas

Cool baby boy booties, stripy booties, funky baby boots

A little something for the New Year new arrivals.

Two new versions of my Little Chukka boot…. in stripe. I’ve been dying to try a stripey version of these. Knitted in two rows of each colour – a nice stripe width, it’s also easy to change colour without floating yarn or finishing off. You may need to juggle the colour variations slightly depending on the size you make.

We’ve still got plenty of cold weather to come before the spring, so this makes a great gift.

You can find the pattern HERE.

Here I am again, sorting through my stash, not wanting to throw away these scraps of fabric. It just seems so wasteful.

Time for another project….. some modern patchwork. As lovely as traditional patchwork is, it takes on a whole new lease of life when we bring in right up into the digital age. “How do you do that?”, I hear you ask…….
