Here are some great baby bootie knitting patterns straight from Etsy.

These sweet little Garter Stitch booties from Love Fibres are a great project even for a new knitter, and the buttons on the side are super cute. They use DK weight yarn and are available in three sizes.

Aloyna Little Knitter has a similar pattern but the cuff folds over on these. They are only in newborn size.

Knit booties that look like grown-up boots with this cute pattern from Marilyns Creation. These use two colors, have a folded down cuff and buttons, and are available in three sizes.

If you’d rather use Stockinette Stitch for your booties, check out this pretty pair from Baby Jumbuck Knits. I love the shaping on the foot. This pattern has three sizes and uses light or DK weight yarn.

How about some booties that look like sneakers (from Little French Knits)? Or Mary Janes with the socks attached (BEKAH Knits)? These are great for the fashionable babies in the house.

Or maybe add a little cable to your booties? This pattern from Tanjas Handarbeit features ribbed cuffs and baby cables for extra cuteness.

One of the fun things about knitters is that we will use a holiday theme on any kind of project. From Easter bunny socks to Christmas sweaters, there’s no combination of holiday motif and knitwear genre we won’t combine.

Case in point: Halloween cowls.

This fun cowl from Sweet Vireo Designs features large carved pumpkins and little cats and skulls. It uses two colors of DK weight yarn and I love the multicolored yarn for the background color on this one. And the braids! So cute.

Spooky Season by Jocelyn Tunney (also on Ravelry) uses fingering weight yarn in two colors to make a design with crescent moons and eyes. There are two circumferences and two heights available so you can make it a neck hugger or a slightly bigger project if you like.

Make more moons with the Broom Riding Cowl from Vanessa Ewing Knits. This two color pattern looks extra fun with a multicolored yarn for the colorwork, but you can use a solid as well. It calls for DK weight yarn but there is also a fingering weight version if you have some yarn in your stash you want to use.

Jinx Made has another fun Halloween cowl, this time covered in skulls. South Philly Skulls uses DK weight yarn and comes in two lengths, and there’s also a matching hat pattern, both of which can be found on Ravelry.

The Ghost Stories cowl from Melissa Knit Wear is a two-color cowl with ghosts of different sizes on the body. It uses DK weight yarn, and average sized skeins will allow you to get two cowls out of two skeins. It also calls for stitch markers to help you keep your place in the chart.

Or stitch up a cowl with a giant bat on it. The Nightling Cowl from Jen Immer uses DK weight yarn in two colors and has moons and a large bat on it. This pattern can be found on Ravelry.

How about spooky trees? The Weirwood Cowl from Andrea Krüß-Anders is inspired by the weirwood trees in the Game of Thrones books, and is worked in two colors of fingering weight yarn. You can find this free pattern on Ravelry.

If a bandana cowl is more your thing, try Cowloween from Tellybean Knits (on Ravelry). This colorful design is worked from the top down and features pumpkins, ghosts and candy colored stripes, and is worked in a light fingering weight yarn. There are kid and adult sizes available.
