Notes

Used up the remnants of two balls of Swish. I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to do a join (fewer joins = more comfortable booties for baby?) but I ran out of yarn near the ribbing on the second bootie.

After consulting different patterns and projects, I knit two 16” 2-stitch i-cords for the drawstring. I did a “k2tog, yo” round right before beginning the 1x1 ribbing. Oh, and I did garter stitch rather than seed stitch on the sole, because I loathe seed stitch.
