TWO CUTE BABY BOOTIES

These are two booties that I recently made and I couldn’t decide which one would work better for the client, so thought I’d just make both and let them decide.

Instructions using U.S terminology

Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.  For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.  
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
