Look What the Stork Brought:
A series of classes for that special someone.
Booties: Guaranteed to Stay-on Booties that can be made to fit any baby’s foot from the tiniest preemie to a busy toddler. You select the size you want to make and the yarn weight (fingering, dk or sport) and double point needles to give you a firm gauge. (for preemies, use fingering and a 0-1 needle.) Homework: Make the sole of the first bootie, which is also your gauge swatch. cast on 10 sts with selected yarn and needles. Knit 40 rows (20 ridges) in garter stitch. Measure. (Newborn feet are about 3″ long, 12 months — about 5″.) When you have the size bootie sole you want, you’re ready for class!
