T-Strap Booties

Lion Brand® Lion® Cashmere Blend

GAUGE:

18 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in Garter st (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Work this new stitch through the back loop.

sk2p Slip 1 as if to knit, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over—2 sts decreased.

T-Strap Booties Reviewed by Joan Beaudin on 2013-02-26 *****
I made these booties this afternoon. They were so easy to knit. The pattern was easy to follow. I am pleased with the results.
I used Lion Brand 4 ply yarn.
