Basic Booties: Izes Available
This pattern is to make a pair of simple, basic, stay-on booties. The booties are worked in the round from the
sole up to the cuff. You only need to sew up a very small seam at the sole.
You can either make these booties using double pointed needles or using long circular needles with Magic Loop
method. If you are new to the Magic Loop, here is a link to a very good tutorial:
