"Small and sweet, these make the perfect gift for any new parents. Who says babies need to be dressed in lemon yellow and pastels! These booties are a quick knit and make a good introduction to more complex shaping for the new knitter. You will need one 50g ball of MillaMia Naturally Soft Merino in Fuchsia, Daisy Yellow and Peacock plus one pair of 2.75mm (US 2) knitting needles. This pattern is available in sizes 3 months to 6 months."

I wouldn't say this was the easiest pattern for a beginner, I am an experienced knitter and I did get in a bit of a muddle after the rib rows it says to Dec 2 sets evenly across last row, I wasn't sure whether to decrease at both ends or in the middle, I opted for one at the start and one halfway which seems to look ok. I also struggled with picking up stitches along the ends of the rows and it would be useful to have a link or picture to show what it looks like at this stage. However, once I had completed one bootee I found it much easier to do the second one. I would suggest for a beginner to k it it in one colour first to get used to the stitches and shape before knitting in different colours.
