Small Simple Booties

Fig 1

Hi friends,
I made these cute and most simple booties  when I wanted to make  video for  my Marathi You tube channel "Kalopasak". This pattern is particularly for knitting beginners. It is so simple that definitely the beginners can make it without any problem and they would be very much happy with their first three dimensional knitting project.

Pattern:  CO 36 stitches, work 10 rows in Garter stitch. BO first 12 stitches, work further only next 12 stitches in Garter stitch till the length of that portion equals to the length of 12 sts which are BO. Then BO those middle 12 sts. Join yarn  at the beginning of the last 12 sts and BO those stitches. We shall get T - shape knitted portion as in figure 2.

Now hold it as in fig 3 and compare with fig 4.

Fig 4

Take a red yarn in tapestry needle and hold T shape by keeping side BC on CD and sew it. Also join AB and GD by putting point A on G. See fig 5.

Fig 5

Now put side EH on AB by coinciding points A with E and sew it. See fig 6.

Fig 6

Now look at the side AF, you can see three edges coinciding there but keep the middle edge un-sewed, only sew AF with EF. See fig 7.

Fig 7

Hide the thread ends and turn the right side up. You will get a beautiful small booty.
For the second piece, work in the same manner till the  T shape is obtained. Now while sewing first put AF on EF and sew it then AB with EH and so on.

When I searched for the show buttons, I saw these beautiful wooden butterfly buttons. Here I just put them to see, how they look, they are still to be sewed. See fig 8.

For these booties, I used Oswal Winter King wool which is little bit thick though it is 4 ply.
The final size of this booty is 3" in length and 2" in width.

The following video with English subtitle will help you in sewing.

Happy knitting.
