This pattern uses the following sts (stitches): ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch), sc (single crochet), and a hdc (half double crochet). You will also need to know how to sc2tog (single crochet two stitches together) and hdc2tog (half double crochet two stitches together).

What I love about this pattern is how the ribbon is woven to create a ‘drawstring’ effect around tiny ankles so the booties actually stay on. No more losing booties over the side of strollers, falling off feet in baby carriers, or getting lost under seats in the car. Getting home with booties on both feet? Hooray!
