craftgrrl | Baby Hats AND Booties! (Reply)

I made both hats in a little over two hours and the booties together took me maybe 30 minutes. I already posted about the hats, but someone asked for the bootie pattern that I used. Here it is!

Ch 27
ROW 1: Dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 3, turn (25 dc)
ROW 2: Dc in each dc across row (25 dc). ch 3, turn.
ROW 3: repeat row 2. (except in row 3- do NOT ch 3 at the end, just turn)
ROW 4 (This next part forms the top of bootie): sl st in the first 5 sts, ch 3 -in that 5th st- (counts as one dc) dc in the next 15 sts leaving the last 4 sts unworked. (16 dcs) Chain 3, turn
ROWS 5, 6 : Dc in each dc across (Leaving last 4 sts unworked) , ch 3 and turn (16 dcs)
ROW 7: Sc into 1st st near hook, ch 3, sc in next st, repeat across to make a ruffle on the top.
Finish off.
Fold piece in half and whip-stitch up using yarn and big eyed needle, to form bootie.
