Two-needle seamless booties, also known as baby booties, are a classic knitting project that can be created without the need for double-pointed needles or circular needles. Here's a basic pattern for two-needle seamless baby booties:

Materials You Will Need:

    Worsted weight yarn in your preferred color(s).

    Knitting needles (straight or circular) in a size appropriate for your yarn (usually around US size 6-8).

    Yarn needle for weaving in ends.

    Optional: Ribbon or small buttons for decoration.

Instructions:

Note: These instructions are for a newborn-sized bootie. You can adjust the size by changing the yarn weight and needle size.

Bootie Sole:

    Cast On: Cast on 30 stitches.

    Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches.

    Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.

    Row 3: Knit 1, knit 2 together (K2tog), knit 7, slip-slip-knit (SSK), repeat from * to * once more, knit 1 (26 stitches).

    Row 4: Purl all stitches.

    Row 5: Knit 1, K2tog, knit 5, SSK, repeat from * to * once more, knit 1 (22 stitches).

    Row 6: Purl all stitches.

    Row 13: Knit 2 together (K2tog) across the row (5 stitches).

    Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches, pull tight to close the toe, and secure the end.

Finishing:

    Fold the bootie in half, matching the heel edge with the toe edge.

    Seam the sides together using a whip stitch or a mattress stitch, leaving an opening at the top for the baby's foot.

    Optionally, add a ribbon or button embellishment for decoration.

    Repeat the above steps to make the second bootie.

These two-needle seamless baby booties are a simple and quick project, making them perfect for gifts or charity knitting. You can also experiment with different yarn colors and embellishments to make them unique and personalized
