ReplyDeleteIm so sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, I dont know when you posted these comments, but to help you out. DC #19 and 21 these are the stitches if you counted left to right.
ReplyDeleteI've become very frustrated, searching high and low for an easy baby bootie pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour's looks very easy so I'm going to give it a try.
I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for sharing it. :)
KBliss, Im so glad you are going to try my pattern. I received some feedback from my sister... make sure when you fold the bootie part in half to close it that you put your starting chain on the bottom of the bootie... she also said to make the whole wider because when she put these on her 1 year old (they were large enough to fit! lol) that the ankle was a bit snog, I need to rework the pattern a bit... I just have a couple scarf projects to finish before I can rework it. But let me know how it turns out! I would love to see pictures.
