  • Pattern Details & Specifications*

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner / Intermediate (Requires knowledge of short rows and working with slip stitches).

Sizes Included: Newborn up to 2/3 Years Old.

Hook Size: 3.5 mm (US H-8) or size needed to obtain gauge.

Yarn Requirements: Aran weight yarn. The samples in are lovingly worked up in Gazzal Baby Wool XL, but any soft, next-to-skin Aran weight yarn will work beautifully.

Construction: Worked flat/sideways in slip stitch BLO. The heels shaped using increases/decreases and toes are elegantly shaped using short rows to ensure a perfect, anatomical fit with zero bulky seams.

  • What You Need to Know*
