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

Cuff:
with cuff, knit stitch 8 rows k1, p1 (or increase to 10 rows)
then flat knit 10 rows or (increase to 12 rows)

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

Heel:
work short rows over 5 pegs (pegs 1 thru 5) back and forth. Do Not knit the wrap & turn peg
flat knit pegs 1-5, wrap & turn peg 6
flat knit pegs 5-2, wrap & turn peg 1
flat knit pegs 2-4, wrap & turn peg 5
flat knit pegs 4-1, wrap & turn peg 12 (peg 1 will have 2 loops, knit peg as one loop)
flat knit pegs 1-6, wrap & turn peg 7 (pegs 5 & 6 will have 2 loops, knit each peg as one loop)
flat knit pegs 6-1

Foot:
working all around the loom. when you get to pegs 7 and 12 they should have 2 loops on each peg, knit each peg as one loop
