Simple Baby Booties

Apologies, it's been over a month, I. Am. Rubbish. The new job keeps taking up loads of time! But on with today's post......

People are having babies left right and centre and I've been off work ill so I've been making baby booties....

These were made using this pattern which I adapted a little because they seemed to come out a bit skewiff....

What I did.....

Note: this is all in american so sc is and english dc and a dc is an english treble, i just couldn't be bothered to translate.

First bootie (my changes are indicated in red)

Row 1: ch 15, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 13 sc, 4 sc in first back loop, 12 sc, 2 sc in last back loop. (32 sc)

Row 2: ch 1, 12 sc, 2 sc in next 4 sc, 14 sc, 2 sc in next 2 sc. (38 sc)

Row 3: ch 1, 12 sc, *2 sc in next sc, sc* x 4, 14 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc. (44 sc)

Row 4: ch 1, 12 sc, *2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc* x 4, 13 sc, 2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc, 3 sc. (50 sc)

Row 5: ch 1, sc around (50 sc)

Row 6: ch 1, sc around in back loops only (50 sc)

Row 7&8: ch 1, sc around (50 sc)

Row 9: ch 1, 17 sc, *2 dc tog, 2 dc* x 4, sc around (46 sc)

Row 10: ch 1, 17 sc, *2 dc tog, 1 dc* x 4, sc around (42 sc)

Row 11: ch 1, 17 sc, 2 dc tog in next 4 dc, sc around (38 sc)

Row 12: sl st until 2 away from curve, *ch 1 turn, 3 sc* x 11, ch 4, sl st into 3rd sc, sl st down edge of strap and continue to sl st to start of row.

Finish off.

Second bootie

And to do the other bootie I followed the above instructions in reverse from Row 2.

So the first two rows are:

Row 1: ch 15, sc in 2nd ch from hook, 13 sc, 4 sc in first back loop, 12 sc, 2 sc in last back loop. (32 sc)

Row 2: ch1 2 sc in first 2 sc, 14 sc, 2sc in next 4 sc, 12sc (38st)

I'll admit that the instructions I've posted here are a little hit and miss, but if anyone actually wants to have a go and gets messed up or confused then I think loopyjess is fine with questions as am I! They are fairly simple tho so adapting them to your needs or your amount of twisting should be fairly straight forward, just give it a go!
