Cute cute little booties, Judy. Which pattern do you use?
I've seen lots of varigated yarns, but haven't come across any thats red, white, and blue. Would love to have some, where did you get it? What brand, type of yarn is it?
Thank you, Sandy! The yarn is from Hobby Lobby and is called "I Love This Yarn." It's pretty soft worsted weight and they just came out with holiday colors. The pattern for the booties is pretty quick. I use an H hook, but size I would be okay, too. Leave a long tail on the slipknot and ch 23for 22 sts. Rows 1 & 2: SC Row 3: ch 2 and HDC Row 4: SC Row 5: SC 5 sts, sc2tog (6 times), sc 5 sts Row 6: SC 4 sts, sc2tog (4 times), sc 4 sts (you'll have 12 sts now) Row 7: ch 3 and DC Row 8: ch 1 and SC Rows 9-11: ch 3 and DC Row 12: ch 1 and SC (on the prev dc rows, I don't go into the top of the turning ch on the last stitch, but I do on this row, so it's not too tight around the cuff). Finish off and leave a long tail. Turn inside out and sew bottom of bootie with chain tail. Turn right side out and sew down the back with the other tail. Fold down cuff. Hope you can find the yarn and like the pattern!
Glad I happened back here since Judy responded to my question here instead of on my blog. Thanks, I'll cut and paste the pattern and see if I can find the yarn. Sandy
We are no longer accepting donations to the Bloomington, IN address. In 2015 we will begin a new direct ship program so that crafters can ship their gifts directly to volunteers on base. Stay tuned for more information about how and where you can ship.
