These little booties are unique, and guaranteed to keep tiny toes snug and comfy. The cuffs are made with a unique method of layering scallops that I developed as a pretty alternative to crocodile stitches.

The technique is easy to master and the pattern includes more than 40 color photos to guide you through the process from start to finish.

This is a perfect pattern for intermediate level crocheters or those familiar with basic crochet stitches and simple crochet patterns who want to try something different and master new skills. The finished effect is lovely and very textured - very warm and very cozy - perfect for chilly autumn days!

The pattern contains written instructions for 2 sizes:-
0-6 months
6-12 months.
The booties can be made with pure new wool, or cotton, on a 3.5mm crochet hook (US size E/4).
