Booties

I havent been on in a couple of days. Saturday my mom threw me a surprise baby shower. It was really nice, lots of family, close friends, and a ton of adorable stuff! I love my mom, she is so awesome.

Anyway, so I made an adaptation of a pattern for booties I found online and I made a few sets of my own.

Here is the pattern:

I used size 6 needles, and it worked out perfectly, but I guess it depends on how you want them to look. I used generic pink and white "baby yarn" but you can use whatever you want, obviously.

Cast on 33 stitches.

Knit 12 rows, basic knit.

Begin Decrease for instep:

Row 1- K13, K2together, K3, K2together, K13 (31 stitches)

Row 2- K12, K2together, K3, K2together, K12 (29 st.)

Row 3- K 11, k2together, k3, k2tog, k11 (27st.)

Row 4- K10, k2tog, k3, k2tog, k10 (25st.)

Row 5- K9, k2tog, k3, k2tog, k9 (23st.)

Row 6- K8, k2tog, k3, k2tog, k 8 (21st.)

Now you should have 21 stitches if you did it right.

Now to make the little lip on the top of the booties:

Row 1- Knit across

Row 2- Purl across

Repeat 1-2 twice more.

Bind off all stitches.

Sew inside out and then flip right side out. They should look like little feeties now.

You can add pom pom's or bows, anything you want as long as it is securely fastened so it isn't a choking hazzard.

Here is an example:

That is about what they should look like! Good luck!
