Free Knitting Pattern: Knitted Baby Uggs

baby uggs

These Knitted Baby Uggs are a lovely modern take on the traditional baby bootee. I’ve made quite a few pairs of these for Roman, some in cotton, some in wool. I am a slow knitter and I can whip a pair of these up in a few hours.

These cute baby uggs are a quick project to knit. You will love this free knitting pattern! The booties are knit in one piece, so there’s hardly any seaming or ends to weave in and they stay on pretty well even without ribbons. The construction method is a little unorthodox, so some may find it tricky as they are worked in 3D, but once they come together you’ll be pleased as punch!

  4. This is my first time trying a pattern. Your awesome pattern. And I’m having a little trouble. I would be forever grateful if you could help me. 1.) I don’t understand what I’m supposed to do with the stitches on my needles when i go from the cuff to the instep? 2.) on instep how do I go from the 20 knits on needle to only 10 purls? 3.) I completely don’t understand teh 3rd paragraph in the instep section? thank you so much if you could take the time out of your day to answer my questions. lil_deb 83 at yahoo dot com

  5. @Deb – you knit 20, then turn around and only purl 10. Then you turn around again, and knit 10. That way the first 10 stitches just sit on your needles, and you work back and forth on the middle 10 stitches. You end up knitting a flap in the middle. Then you pick up stitches along the sides of the flap and join it all together again.

    I hope this makes sense.

    • I wanted to make sure that I pick up 9 stiches on the side of the flap that was made? Then knit the 24 left on my left needle? The diagram has a down arrow that doesn’t point to the side of the flap. So it confused me where exactly I need to pick up the stitches. Thanks.

      Reply

      • The down arrow and the text (pick up 7 stitches) is the side you should be picking up stitches along in step 3. You then knit the remaining 12 stitches from your needle. In step 4, you start a new row and work back across the 12 stitches you just knit, the ones you picked up, the top of the flap, and then pick up stitches along the other side of the flap and finally work the last 10 stitches on the needle (which are on the right hand side of the cuff as shown in the diagram). Hope that helps!

  9. i’m having trouble with the instep part as well. Do I pick up the stitches from the middle of where the cuff is? I love the pattern because it’s so simple, but typical, I have to make it more difficult. 🙂

    Reply

    • Hi Kathie, you knit the cuff, then pick up stitches all the way along one side of the cuff. Then you work a few rows on those, then work back and forth on just the middle 10 stitches (makes a T shape) then pick up stitches on either side of the flap.

      I sometimes find it easier to blindly follow a knitting pattern until I can figure out what’s going on. (and I always thought I’d make my own so well written that I would never need to do that) ha!

      Hope that helps!

  10. Hi,

    I’m trying to knit up the baby uggs and have ran into a problem. Hopefully I can make it clear and you can tell me where I went wrong. I had no problem until I got down to the finishing. I ended up with 30 stitches left which your pattern says. When I divide the stitches onto the two needles, the sole doesn’t look right. It only measured 2 inches, where the rest of the ugg looks like its the right proportion. Is the sole the only spot that needs to be sewn up, cause mine needed to be sewn from the top of the cuff all the way down to the sole. Where did I go wrong?? Love the baby uggs. So cute and thanks for it.

    Reply

    • Hi Anon – The 30 stitches left for the sole are divided over 2 needles and then finished using a 3 needle bind off or kitchener stitch. The sole is done this way so that it sits fairly flat and is comfortable to wear. After you’ve done the sole, the back (heel) and the cuff still need to be sewn up. If you still have any questions, please send me an email using the contact page and I’ll try and explain it differently.

      Reply

    • Thanks for your quick reply. I guess my question is about the length of the sole. On your pattern,it says the sole measurement is 3.5″. Mine was maybe 2″. Can’t figure out where that went wrong. Sole might fit a newborn, but the rest of the bootie would be enormous. I can see now that the cuff and rest still needs to be sewn up also. Just can’t figure out that darn soul!
      Thanks so much. Won’t let me use my name so I’m still Anon.. Lol

      Reply

    • the smallest size in the pattern is 3 – 6 months, not newborn. The shaping for the sole does curve it in a bit, so the measurement of the bit you bind off will be a bit shorter than the actual length of the ugg. Hope that makes sense

      Reply

  11. Do you happen to have this figured for newborn size also. I’m having a new grandchild soon and would like to have a pair for them to wear home from the hospital, maybe even preemie size if possible. If not could you maybe tell me how I could figure it out by decreasing how many stitches? Thanks for any help you could give me.

    Reply

    • Unfortunately, I don’t have a pattern for smaller sizes, but I think the best way to go about it would be to use a finer yarn and smaller needles. Knit the cuff 4 – 4.5″ long and then work the pattern as written. The smaller needles and yarn will make the bootie work out smaller. Please let me know how you go!

      Reply

  12. I am making the 6-12 month size. For the instep do I knit 22 and purl 12 to use up the 34 stitches on the needle? The directions for that size only account for 32 stitches.

    Reply

    • Hi Anon, you knit 22, then TURN, then purl 10 (so you’re purling the last 10 stitches you just knit) You will work on the middle 10 stitches, leaving 12 on the start of the needle and the other 12 on the other needle. So you’ve got 12 + 10 + 12 = 34. HTH

      Reply

  14. I am to step 3 where I pick up 7 stitches along side of instep. I can’t figure out how I’m doing that as I have 13 rows I’ve just knit for the instep.

    Reply

  15. Hi Im having problems with your step 3,i pick up 7 then if i go to knit the 10 on the other needle i have a piece of wool that is NOT knitted into any stitches is that right?? Doesn’t seem right!
    Do I have the wrong side facing me?
    Any chance of a visual please???

    Reply

    • You pick up 7 along one size of the flap, knit the 10 stitches that are next to those (the right side is facing you). Now you will turn the work over (wrong side up) purl the 10 stitches you just knit and the 7 you picked up. Then purl the 10 middle stitches. Then pickup the 7 from the other side of the instep, then purl the 10 from the side. I don’t have a photo, but there is a diagram in the pattern. You shouldn’t have any yarn just hanging there. HTH

  16. I love the construction of this pattern and thanks for sharing! Do you happen to know a gauge for this? Because I tried to knit the 6-12 month and mine came out much too small. Maybe I am knitting too tight? I’m not sure what to do to make it work. Thanks for your help!

    Reply

    • My gauge is about 5-6 st/inch. It’s hard to tell because they’re so small, there isn’t a great spot to measure.

  19. I’m working on the instep. When I pick up the 7 stitches along the side of the instep am I knitting as I pick up? Then it says to knit 10 but how can I knit ten if the yarn is at the beginning of where I picked up the 7. Heeeelllllp 🙁

    Reply

    • Hi Diane, to me, ‘pick up’ and ‘pick up and knit’ mean the same thing, so sorry for the confusion. You need to pick up and knit the stitches, so your yarn comes along with you.

  21. Hi! Thank you for this gorgeous pattern. I’ve just knitted them for my son and they look gorgeous in alpaca wool. Just a question, after I finish sewing up, the top of the slipper is in garter stitch not stocking stitch. I’m just wondering what I’m doing wrong? Not the cuff, but the section that covers the top of his foot. My email is luhissey@icloud.com. They still look gorgeous though!

  24. Can you please explain the M1 (make 1). Does that mean increase a stitch? Also, what is the kitchener stitch? How do you do it? Thanks for your reply. i love these Uggs, want to make them for a baby shower..

  25. Hi. The issue i’m having is picking up the 30 stitches on the edge. Now I’ve tried doing this with three different types of yarn and each time it isn’t possible to pick up 30 stitches (after knitting for 5″). I’ve looked at a couple different versions of how to pick. Am i not using the right yarn?

    Reply

  26. Hi, I love this and really want to make them but I get so confused reading patterns because I am very new to knitting.
    I have just done the 5inch cuff and bind off.
    So…… Now pick up stitches…..I am not sure I fully understand this bit but I shall look at some videos on how to do it but…….the 30 bit does this mean since i have cast on 16 and have knitted 58 rows I only pick up the 30 and leave 28 alone?
    Sorry if this is a silly question but I am trying to learn this skill and think there are a few steps I will struggle with but only focusing on one step at a time.
    Thank you.

    • Ohhh lovely thank you so much I did it 🙂 But also just to clarify knit 6 rows. Then work 5 rows stocking stitch do you mean eleven rows in total or 6rows …K P K P K P ?

  29. Hi – I’m a novice too. I’ve worked out how to pick up the 30 stitches – should I knit them too please? And which direction should I be picking them up from – closest to the needle or furthest? Thanks

    Reply

  30. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I’m now at the end doing the Kitchener stitch but my yarn isn’t at the end where the stitches would come off the needle?

    Reply

    • Hi Gail, you need to divide the stitches over 2 needles. Take the needle out of half of the stitches, then slide in another needle. You then need to take out the other needle and put it back in the other way. I hope that makes sense. You could also knit half a row. The sides would be uneven, but you probably wouldn’t notice.

  36. Hi ,
    I am not using the yarn on the pattern. I am using the correct number of stitches and the number of inches written. I am having trouble finding 30 stitches on the side of the cuff. Mine come out at about 20 in that 5″. My yarn is a heavier weight. I am using the #5 needles. If I haven’t got 30 stitches on a side then my bootee will not come out as the way your have written the pattern.
    How can I come up with the 30 stitches without making the cuff longer?
    Please help. I not able to get the yarn suggested. I had this Lion Brand homespun acrylic left over from a shawl I had knitted for a grand child.
    Thanks for your pattern. I do hope to hear soon on how to get this project finished.

  37. I’ve just knitted a boot, and am trying to sew it up. I have grafted the sole stitches, but now there is a flat bit at the back of the sole that doesn’t fit to anything. I have sewn up the back seam, but then there is a hole left between the sole and the back seam. It has also come out really tiny, and it don’t knit tightly, so might have to re-do in larger size. Your help would be really appreciated – it’s a great pattern, and I’ve probably just missed something obvious!

  38. Bless you! I was knitting another pattern for mock Converse booties and literally threw the needles in my bag… Then discovered these baby UGGs and am in heaven. Reading the comments clarified the pickup vs pickup and knit issue to know whether on WS or RS as went along. Love the single construction and look so professional! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Love having a quick project other than hats! And keeping feet warm keeps baby warm. Would like adult pattern… That’s next spring project when too hot to knit!

  39. Hi,

    I am still a beginner at knitting, but felt like a challenge in making these booties for a friends newborn.

    I am however a little stuck when it comes to ‘Pickup 7 stitches along side of instep. Knit across 10 stitches on needle’

    Do I pick up 7 (adding 7 more stitches to my right needle) and then also knit the 10 from the left?
    Meaning I then have 37 stitches in total.

    Or am I supposed to pick up 7 and stitch into the 10 to join the edges together?

    Do I need a third needle at this point?

    Help!

    Many Thanks

    Sian

    Reply

    • Hi Sian, you only need two needles. Pick up the stitches along the side of the instep (adding them to your right needle), then knit the 10 stitches from the end. Hope that helps!

  40. Loved knitting these little booties, I used a slightly larger needle and the booties turned out great!!!!

  41. I finished a pair of the smallest size just fine. Now I am just starting the sole of the 6 to 9 months, and I must be math challenged, but I can’t get the decreases to work out as written. I have the requisite 42 stitches at the start of the sole, but when I do the decreases for the first row of the sole, I run out of them. K3, k2 together, k15, k2 tog, k4, k2 tog, k15, k2 tog, k3. What am I missing?

    Reply

    • Hi Diane, at the start of the sole, you should have 48 stitches for the middle size. You work 4 decreases along the first row of the sole, so you should have 44 stitches by the end of that row for the middle size. Hope that helps.

  42. Just finished one of the mid sized baby uggs. Thanks for a really clear pattern. Just castes on and went from there. Look great and match a sweater I made.

    Reply

  43. I’m a fairly new knitter and this has been my first attempt at anything more complicated than like, a hat. I got one done and am starting the second now. The process involved a lot of yelling and cursing, but I fought through it and it turned out pretty much perfect! I made the 6-12 month size for my almost 3 month old big foot, and they fit him perfectly for the most part, just the sole is a little shorter than I would like but it’s stretchy enough to make do. Thanks for the pattern, I’m gonna go curse my way through boot #2 now!

    Reply

    • The pattern is written with the numbers for the smallest size, followed by the numbers for the 6-12 and 12-18mo following them in brackets. So it starts off saying ‘CO 16 and work an even number of rows of garter stitch (knit every row) for 5″ (5.5″, 6.5″).’ So you want to CO 16 and work garter stitch until your piece is 6.5″. For 12-18mo you are always using the second number in the brackets. I hope that makes sense.

  47. Hi
    I’m working the pattern for baby uggs and am stuck at the pick up 7 stitches on the instep. I can’t see how to do it, despite reading the other comments. I have 10 stitches on my right needle and 20 on my left, the yarn is at the first stitch on my left needle (the middle 10 as it were), I’m on the wrong side. If I pick up on to the right needle, I have yarn that is loose. Help, please.

    Reply

    • You should be on the right side when picking up stitches. My guess is that you have turned the work around after completing the last row, whereas you should knit the last row and then begin to pick up without turning the work around. Hope that helps.

  48. Hello there,

    do you have this pattern in larger sizes at all? My 2 year old would adore a pair!!! she’s a size 5.5 UK infant shoe. I made these slippers in the largest size hoping they would fit her, sadly not 🙁 they are not far off fitting my 9 month old though! Any help at all would be so greatly appreciated! I tend to blindly follow patterns and I am new to knitting with no idea how to size up – I just love these so much! Thank you!! Jennie 🙂 xx

    • I don’t have a larger pattern, though if you used thicker yarn and larger needles they would come out a bit bigger. I’ve made some that fit my son at 2.5yo that way.

  49. I love these booties and am wondering if by any chance you have instructions for use “left out” left hand knitters?

    • sorry, I have no idea how to write a pattern for left handed knitting. The pattern is listed in Ravelry, perhaps someone there has got notes for left handed people.

  50. I am knitting the 6-12 mo size. How do you go from 52 stitches to 44 stiches while only reducing 2 stiches in the row between the two? Also, on page one you show 3 numbers in parenthesis and 4 numbers on the next page. Very confusing!!

    Reply

    • you go from 52 to 50 stitches. The 3 sets of numbers in brackets at the ends of instructions refers to how many stitches you will have for each size after that step. During the instructions the number or knits/purls to perform is given for the smallest size with the 2 larger sizes in brackets. I hope that clears it up.

  51. hello,

    These are great looking booties! I really want to finish them. I started but got stuck when it came to picking up the 7 stitches of the instep. My working yarn was at the top of my work on the left hand needle where the instep was completed. Can you tell me how to pick up stitches onto my right needle with that being the case? Or maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again,
    Rachel

    Reply

    • You finish the instep and your work (instep) is on your left needle. Use that needle to pick up stitches along the side of the instep that is closest to the tip of the needle. You will then meet the right needle and you stitch along the stitches from the right needle.

      Reply

  52. Hi, thanks for this lovely pattern! You’re being so patient and helpful with all of your replies 🙂
    After reading all of the comments I’m still really stuck of the pick up 7 stitches on instep.
    I did have my work (instep) finished on right needle ? But after reading the comments I have moved this to my left. Do I pick up the stitches WITH my left needle? Along the right side of instep? If i’m looking at the RS. It’s at a 90 right angle. Which doesn’t seem right.
    It seems really tricky to do that so thought I’d check. I’m trying to think of it logically but it has me stumped. (I’m new to knitting, this is my trickiest pattern yet) really enjoying it though.

    • Yes, pick up the stitches with your left needle along the right side of the instep. Yes it’s at a 90° angle to your stitches, but that’s fine. Hope that helps! Your work looks fine in your picture.

  53. I found the Baby Uggs pattern on Ravelry and have made one, followed the pattern perfectly until the last line and could not understand how to cast off so that there is no seam under the sole. I ended up with a seam . I have asked the techy people on Ravelry and their replies are too technical (or American) for me to understand . So could you please explain how to divide the remaining stitches onto Two Needles and how to cast off
    thank you

    Reply

    • There will still be a seam under the sole. You can minimise the feel of the seam by working it on the outside of the bootie (not as pretty, but more comfortable) or work it to the inside. To divide the stitches onto two needles, take the needle out and then put half the stitches onto one DPN, and the other half on another DPN. You hold these needles together in the same hand as you bind off. You can either use 3 needle bind off or kitchener stitch, which ever your prefer. Videos for both are available on knittinghelp.com

    Thank you so much for the pattern. Mines are done in 3 hours and came out exactly like in the pictures, even though I used a different yarn. I’ve also added two small pompoms in white colour on my baby blue uggs. I should say that the pattern is brilliant ^^

    Thank you

    Reply

    • I’ve never made them up in adult size so I’m not quite sure. You’d need to knit the first part (cuff) long enough to wrap around your ankle and wide enough to suit. And you’d want to knit the instep long enough to cover the top of your foot. In terms of yarn weight or an actual pattern, I’d have no idea.

  57. Im so confused at step 3 and 4. Ive finished the instep short rows and now my needles are on the left of the pattern. But the instructions say pick up stitches on the right side of the pattern. with my left needle holdng 10 stitches and the right needle holding the top of the instep 10 stitches. How the heck do I pick up stitches on the right side of the pattern?? Or am i suppose to turn the whole work and pick up stitches now wrong side facing me?! Thank you for any help. Im so frustrated

    Reply

  58. Just finishing off the first bootie and love the pattern. No problems other than the yarn being on the wrong end of the needles for doing the Kitchener stitch (which I always fear so will try the three needle bind off) but see from looking back on your notes is the case and will turn the needles. Thanks for such a lovely pattern.

    Reply

    • Thanks Sylvia. Yes, the yarn ends up at the wrong end, but with a little shuffling of stitches onto needles it works out fine. Happy knitting!

  59. Great pattern. I am almost done with the second in my pair and I am loving them. I want a pair for myself. Any concerned you have a similar pattern for adult sizes?? Not kidding I think they’d be adorable slippers

    Reply

  60. Hello, I have made booties before and thought the pattern was a bit difficult so I would like to give your uggs a try. To start, in the cuff section, when you say pick up 30 stitches on the edge evenly until you have 30 stitches. At this point, we are making that little band on top of the big band in your diagram, right? Then, at the instep part, if you pick up 7 stitches from the 13 rows, won’t that make holes, like? I am not sure I understand myself, so I am going to find some proper wool and get on with this, I am tired of the other booties, many thanks for the lovely pattern and your help, G

Looking at what I can see in the photos looks like about 5 ridges before sewing) ..I have knitted smallest size so three ridges (six rows garter knitted for sole). They sit underneath foot not like photo where you can see at the start of base.. the largest size would also seem to only make four ridges. It is almost like I have not enough garter sole rows.
    Otherwise rest of bootie in proportion but for the sole.. would be great if you could help.

  73. As I also noticed too many stocking stitch rows before sole. I have changed the last four shaping rows before sole begins ..the two purl rows i changed to be knit rows. These four rows then become part (the beginning) of the sole and the pattern then works. I just wish it would fit me ..looks comfy.

  74. Hello. Just knitted a Baby Uggs and I love them. I am Norwegian and do not write and speak English very well, but I love English language recipes! They are so well explained and I had no trouble understanding your recipe either. Thanks for the nice recipe 🙂

    • Wow! Hello from Australia. Don’t worry, I cannot write or speak Norwegian 😉 All I know is ‘ja vi elsker dette landet’ which is your national anthem also, yes?
      Thanks for stopping by and happy knitting!

  76. Hi Abby,
    Can you please email the pattern for your Baby Uggs. Every time I try it keeps going back to the page with the link.
    I would like to make for a friends grandson. I have been knitting since I was about 5 years old and this is one of the best patterns I’ve found.
    Thanks Lisa

  77. Hello, I am knitting the uggs booties.I am a new knitter and super excited about your booties. You are so kind to explain in such detail THANK YOU! I have read all the comments and have answered some of my questions. I have CUFF 1.CO16 2. knit 5.5″ bind off leave 1 3. picked up 34 4. knit6 (garter stich 5. 5 rows P,K,P, K,P Now Iam stuck. I need to start the instep but not sure how to go about knitting 22,

    I saw your answer for someone else that statted: Hi Gail, you need to divide the stitches over 2 needles. Take the needle out of half of the stitches, then slide in another needle. You then need to take out the other needle and put it back in the other way. I hope that makes sense. You could also knit half a row. The sides would be uneven, but you probably wouldn’t notice.

    I have 34 stitches now, I need some help how to proceed in the instep. Thank you

    • I’m not sure how many stitches would be needed for a larger size. I would suggest making a gauge swatch and calculating your stitches per inch, then using that to add the required amount of stitches to each part of the pattern (cuff, instep, length of instep etc). You would need to measure the foot you’re wanting to make them for and also be familiar with the parts of the pattern.
