2-needle Baby Booties

Lion Brand® Watercolors

GAUGE:

16 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches [10 cm] in Garter Stitch (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.

2-needle Baby Booties Reviewed by Alma Troiano on 2013-04-10 *
This was the silliest pattern I have ever tried. The booty would not have fit a doll, much less a baby! While it was simple to make, it was quickly ripped out. To adapt this pattern using a larger needle and more stitches was not worth my time.
