Doll or Toddler Bootie

These booties were the stocking stuffer's for my kids dolls.  But you could alter the pattern and make some for yourself.  Just use larger needs and/or  use a bulkier yarn. I used two strands of yarn.  This is an easy project.

 Materials 
Yarn - Finger Weight (I used two)
Needles - 0
Crochet hook if you want to add a chain to make it extra special
Darning needle


Pattern
Cast on 50
Knit 30 rows or until the work is as long as the ankle is wide. (this is going to be the space where your foot slips in and the cuff so you are going to want it a little wider than you think)
Cast off 10 stitches on the next two rows
Work the pattern to the length of the foot minus the toe's.  (end it just where the toe meets the foot)
Next: K2tog across to end
Next: Knit row
Repeat the last two rows until you have 5 stitches left. 
Break and fold the bootie in half
Sew up the foot part fold over the cuff and tack down.
Make one more

Those are totally adorable and the pattern is too. I wish my daughter had stayed in her doll stage longer...I may knit one for my favorite doll that I leave on display just because those look so easy to knit. 2011 will be the year I knit socks...this would be a great beginner.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

Popping by from Fiber Arts Friday. Those booties are just too cute! I'm thinking I need to find a little girl with some dolls so I can make some. Thanks for sharing the pattern! Happy New Year!

Ok! well that may be one pattern I can actually understand. I am not the best knitter...I try, and I try, but I end up with a dish rag! =)
I love your blog and plan to come back real soon.

Aww, those are adorable! They'd make a great baby gift in a slightly larger size. :)
