Easy Booties
Lion Brand® Vanna's Choice®
GAUGE:
12 sc + 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.
NOTES:
Bootie is crocheted in one piece: first the sole, beginning at the heel, then the sides of the Booties, the top of the foot and then the cuff.
