Whip up some quick little pudding booties! Christmas Pudding Booties are sweet little treats for tiny baby feet!

Designed for fingering weight yarn, the booties are started like a toe-up sock, then seamlessly knitted in the round, with an inside ribbed cuff that helps them stay on snugly. The leaves and berries are worked flat in pairs, with the second leaf/berry of each pair cast on from the base of the first to minimize ends to weave in. With directions for 5 sizes, Christmas Pudding Booties make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts.


SIZE:
Extra small, (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large)
Finished sole length approximately:
2.5, (3, 3.25, 3.5, 4)” | 6.5, (7.5, 8, 9, 10) cm
Size will vary according to yarn selection and personal gauge.

--US #1 | 2.25 mm and US #0 | 2 mm needles or size needed for gauge

GAUGE | TENSION:
Gauge is not critical, but it will affect the finished size of the booties. You are aiming for a fairly dense, rather than a loose, knitted fabric.
Approx. 32 sts = 4” | 10 cm in stockinette stitch.
