These Knitted Kimono Baby Booties use a clever wraparound construction to turn a simple knitted shape into a cozy little baby shoe.
The contrasting edging and decorative buttons make the finished booties especially cute, while the folding construction is the feature that gives them their distinctive kimono-inspired look.
Original Pattern Source Update
This project was originally shared as a free knitting idea and credited to Tejiendo Peru. During our current review, however, we could not verify a matching authorized pattern page that is still available online. We are keeping this page as a useful reference rather than linking to an uncertain copy of the pattern.
How the Kimono-Style Construction Works
The most interesting feature of these baby booties is their unusual construction. As the step-by-step image shows, the knitting begins as a flat shape with sections extending in different directions.
Those sections are then folded and wrapped around one another to form the sides and upper part of the shoe. A contrasting knitted edge emphasizes the wraparound shape, while buttons add the finishing touch.
Why We Are Not Reproducing the Instructions
The original image identifies Tejiendo Peru as the source, but we could not confirm a current authorized page containing this exact knitting pattern.
Several different projects online use names such as “Kimono Shoes” or “Kimono Baby Slippers,” including crochet and loom-knitted designs. Those are different patterns and should not be presented as the source of the booties shown above.
