How to finish the booties
 |
Here is the finished piece. It looks like the letter “T”. The upper part will become the back and side of the bootie. The thinner, bottom part will be the sole (footbed).
 |
Take one side of the upper part of the t shape pattern and place it on top of the footbed.
 |
Take the other side of the “T” and place it on top of the 2 layers. Using a yarn needle, sew the bootie together at the toe and the sides. Turn inside out when finished. Weave in ends.

I just finished my first one and it's so cute! I'm not sure if it's my gauge or if my nephew has huge feet, but the 3 months size is too small and he's only a month old. The 3 months wound up being about 2" for me and I had my sister measure my nephew's foot and it's 3.5". No matter what, I'll just knit a bigger one and figure out someone to give these too. They're super cute and easy!
Any girls with dolls in the family? They may fit on a doll's foot.
give them to a little girl for her dolls
Hey Gina! I cut up baby shoes to send to Africa and the description there will be three times more the ones that I usually cut up. Thank you!
These will be perfect for my little grandniece who was born early weighing only 2 lbs!! Many thanks for the pattern. Jan (from the UK).
I would loved to get an adult pattern for these crossover booties. Is this available?
These are soooooo cute and fun to make. I added buttons to the boys and bows to the girls:)
Thank you so very very much for giving your time and effort for all these patterns and to refigure the larger sizes and different sizes we all pester you for. Just found that you had re-figured the larger sizes and cant wait to try them! You are such a sharing and caring lady. As busy as you are you always take the time to help others. Again, thank you so much; your efforts are more than appreciated.! Hope you and your loved ones are well.
