“These booties are knit flat, rather than in the round, and are folded over and sewn together at the end. The lettuce edge, which is made by casting on four times as many stitches as you need and decreasingly rapidly, lends a frilly touch to the ribbed cuff. The foot is worked in garter stitch, where every row is knitted - nothing could be simpler!” - from Pattern Description
