Easy Booties

Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®

GAUGE:

12 sc + 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Bootie is crocheted in one piece: first the sole, beginning at the heel, then the sides of the Booties, the top of the foot and then the cuff.

Easy Booties Reviewed by Val Jackiewicz on 2010-02-07 *****
Bex (2-4-10), i was having the same problem with not getting the ridges on the bottom. i then discovered that when i was crocheting the first two rows (after the 10-4-10-6--for small size), i was crocheting the booties inside out. make sure that your booties are turned the right side out and you should have the ridges. i also found that in order to come out with the 18 stitches at the end(for small), i had to make sure NOT to sc in the slip stitches. it took me a few tries to figure it out, but they came out beautifully-- and so easy to do, and they work up very quickly, at that!!
