Sunny Day Booties
What about a little ray of sunshine?
What can you do with all those leftover ends of beautiful sock yarn? You can make baby booties, of course! Started like a toe-up sock and seamlessly knitted in the round, these are a quick and fun way to try out some new techniques - these are knit both flat and in the round. The stripy cuff is knit sideways and joined on to the snug-fitting inner cuff as you work, then finished by grafting the ends together. They make perfect new baby, shower, or holiday gifts. There are directions for 5 sizes to fit newborns to toddlers.
