Notes

I did not end up with the right number of eyelets on these. I came up one short both times, so the sides did not match up (i.e. one tie-cord would end up inside the bootie and one outside when they were supposed to both be inside before you threaded them back through the final holes). But I made do. Also, the tie-cords I made with 2-stitch i-cord (as directed) were way too thick and long, so I just braided three strands of the main color wool and tied it off on both ends.

I held the black “main” yarn double because the white and red yarns are thicker. I just used “whatever yarn” from my stash for these.
