See blog post for detail on fighting with the pattern: http://bridgetknits.com/patterns-can-make-anybody-crazy

I ultimately worked from the original pattern here.

Some notes on finishing:

• The original pattern calls for a couple of rows of crocheted edging at the top of each bootie. The knitted piece was so tall alone that I opted for a single row of single crochet. Even so, I think they’re going to come close to knee-high!

• I rarely knit anything this small and I found that seaming these things was extremely fiddly.
