MOSTERMOSTER BABY BOOTIES NO2

MosterMoster Baby Booties No2 are soft, cozy baby booties worked flat from the top down.

The upper section is first worked in 2 × 2 rib. The stitches are then divided, and the center instep stitches are worked separately in garter stitch. All stitches are subsequently rejoined before the sole is shaped with decreases. Finally, the sole and back seam are closed.

The pattern contains clear, step-by-step instructions and is suitable for an advanced beginner.
