Baby Booties


Size 6 needles for Newborn - 3 months sized and soft sport weight or baby 
weight yarn (less than 1 ounce)

Size 8 needles and soft 4 ply worsted weight yarn for slightly larger booties 
(4 - 6 month sized)
Cast on 32 sts 
Row 1-16:  Knit each row (I think I did 2 less rows)
Row 17: Bind off 6 sts at beginning of row.  Knit across.
Row 18: Bind off 6 sts at beginning of row.  Purl across.  (20 sts left)
Row 19: Knit across row.
Row 20: Purl across row.
Rows 21 thru Row 30:  Repeat Rows 19 and 20 (I think did 4 less rows)
Row 31: K2 together across row.  (10 sts left)
Row 32: P2 tog across row. (5 sts left)
Cut a yarn tail about 12" long, thread it onto yarn needle and weave it through 
the last 5 sts.  Remove from needle and pull tightly to form toe.

Fold bootie in half and stitch up the top of the foot and then up the cuff, back stitch 
3 sts to secure.  Cut yarn. 

Start yarn up again on other side of bootie and secure the yarn tail, stitch all the 
way down the other side, and secure with 3 back stitches. Fold the top 1/2" or so 
down when finished. Now knit another one!
