I used a loose long-tail cast on on #2 needles and switched to #1 needles after cast on.

For the foot, I did 14 rows before the toe instead of 20 so that the foot ends up being 4”, which should fit from now (3.5 weeks) through 3 months.

My granddaughter was born in December in Vermont. Her hand and feet are often cold and her hand-me-down booties are kicked off in short order. So I’m hoping these will stay on and keep her cozy, along with tiny socks, a bonnet, and a lovely blanket.
