Color is also important to create a product. Kids love bright and catchy things.

Stocking knitting needles are suitable for this particular model.. Since the work will use circular knitting, and the circle in this case will have a small number of loops, it is better to use stocking needles rather than circular knitting needles.
We also pay attention to on the tool number, it must match the number of the yarn.
More often, the manufacturer reserves the last word and prints the hook number and knitting needle number, which are more likely to be suitable for working with such a thread.
Measurements
When creating booties for a child, the master uses at least three measurements. This is the length of the foot, the width of the baby’s foot and the height of the boot. Additionally, it will not be superfluous to measure the circumference of the ankle in order to knit the product exactly according to the leg.
But many craftsmen simply use ties along this line and neglect this measurement. Another important measurement that is used for adult models, but is very rarely used for such babies, is the circumference along the midline of the length of the foot. This lifting circumference. It would also be useful to calculate this measurement when creating the toe.
