Materials:
Worsted weight yarn, two
colors (I use a color and white)
Size 8 needles, size G crochet
hook
Cast on 28
sts with colored
yarn.
Knit 10 rows (5 ridges).
Decrease
as follows:
Row 11: K 12, K2tog
twice, K 12 (26 sts).
Row 12, 14, 16: Knit
across.
Row 13: K 11, K2tog
twice, K 11 (24 sts).
Row 15: K 10, K2tog
twice, K 10 (22 sts).
Eyelet
– Row 17: K1,
*YO, K2tog,, repeat from * across, end K1 (22 sts).
Row 18: Knit across,
knitting through back loop of all YO sts.
Cut
colored yarn (leave enough
length to use for sewing bottom half of bootie) and attach white; work
ribbing as follows:
*K1, P1, repeat from * across
row.
Work 14 rows of this ribbing,
bind off, cutting yarn long enough to sew top half of bootie.
Fold
bootie in half, right sides together. Sew top half with white
yarn,
bottom half with colored yarn. Weave in ends, turn rightside out;
fold down cuff.
Make second bootie the same.
Tie: Using G hook, ch2, work 8 sc in first ch, join to first sc; ch 52, work 8 sc in 2nd ch from hook, join to first sc of circle, end off. Weave in ends in each “circle” end. Use hook to pull through eyelets of bootie and tie in front.
(note: the circle end keeps the tie from coming undone, but I have found it’s easier to ch 52, pull the last loop really BIG and leave myself about 3’ of yarn, then thread that long loop through the eyelet of the bootie and once in place, finish the last circle end)
