Newborn Baby Booties

 


Supplies:
12 peg flower loom
2 strands of #3 baby yarn used as one (bernat softee baby) or a #4 baby yarn single strand (mary maxim baby kashmere) works well

the flat knit stitch is what I used for pattern
cast on (I used chain cast on) or the ewrap works great

then flat knit 10 rows or (increase to 12 rows)

without cuff flat knit 10 rows or (increase to 12 rows)
