1
skein (6 oz) Red Heart Baby Clouds yarn makes about 6 pairs
You can also use 3 strands of thinner yarn held together... I have been using 2 strands of Red Heart baby with 1 strand of Baby Pound of love and they are adorable!
Size K hook - finished booties should measure about 3.25-3.5" in length.
Chain
17 (19 for 3 month old)Row 1: Dc in 2nd ch from hook and in each across. Ch 2 and turn. (Makes 16 dc including the first ch 3)
Row 2: Dc in the ch 2 base - so it looks like there are 2 dc in one stitch., then dc to the end on the row in each stitch. DON'T Ch 2, just turn. (17 dcs - since you must dc in that very last st!)
Row 3: Sl st in top of first 3 dc. Ch 2 to form a dc, then dc in each stitch across - leaving 3 sts unstitched. Ch 2 and turn. (12 Dcs)
Row 4: Dc in the ch 2 base - so it looks like there are 2 dc in one stitch, then dc in each dc to end of row. End off by cutting a yarn tail about 13" long, and pull through last stitch. (13 Dcs)
Fold bootie in half and stitch around seam. Turn bootie right side out, and fold down top row of the cuff. Make a 2nd bootie.
