This pattern appears in two newspapers. The other time it appears here 3-ply wool is suggested. I used Shepherd Baby Wool Merino 3 ply.

UK crochet terms are used in this pattern.

There is no size listed in the pattern, but I’d say these booties would fit 6-8mo (or a younger baby with big feet!).

Two buttons are necessary, one for the strap on each bootie. The pattern also suggests putting a little bow on the front of each bootie.
