Baby boots!

Posted on by Andru

I think this might be my third attempt of baby boots, so far this has been the most successful 🙂

I must confess that the most challenging part is keep on reading and understanding the whole pattern from the beginning until the very end.  I get very anxious and I want to knit in a ‘mechanical’ way with the stitch involved, but there is always a change, so I have to pay attention (sometimes I’m a bit lazy) and I might  have to restart some rounds a couple of times. In this case I found myself mixing 2 different indications, making a third one and adding some details that I explain below:

I took the sole I took indications from Annoo’s crochet world, where you can see every round with pictures.

For the rest I followed Happiness Crafty–>

The previous round before finishing the sole according Annoo’s I started with this pattern:
ch 2, 1 hdc in same sp as ch 2, 1 hdc into each of next 12 sts, 2 hdc in each of next 3 sts, 1 hdc into each of next 12 sts, 2 hdc in each of last 2 hdc, join with a sl st into top of ch 2. (36 sts)
Sides
Rnd 4: working in back loops for this entire rnd, ch 1, sc into each of next sts.
ch 2, *fpdc, bpdc* rpt
Toe & Ankle
Rnd 5: ch 1, 1 sc into each of next 11 sts, dc2tog (6 times), 1 sc into each of next 12 sts, join with a sl st into 1st sc. (30 sts)
Rnd 6: ch 1, 1 sc into same sp as ch 1, 1 sc into each of next 12 sts, dc2tog (twice), 1 sc into each of next 13 sts, join with a sl st into 1st sc. (28 sts)
Rnd 7: ch 1, 1 sc into same sp as ch 1, 1 sc into each of next 11 sts, dc2tog (twice), 1 sc into each of next 12 sts, join with a sl st into 1st sc. (26 sts)
Rnd 8: ch 4, skip sp where ch is in and skip next st also, *1 dc in next st, ch 1, skip 1 st, rep from * around, join with a sl st into 3rd ch st of the ch 4.
Rnd 9 – 10: ch 2, *fpdc, bpdc* rpt
Note: instead of doing only 2 rounds of this pattern, as I found it too short, I kept on going until I considered it was enough to fold it. 
Rnd 11: ch 1, 1 sc into same sp as ch 1, 1 sc into each st around, join with a sl st into 1st sc.
Finish.
In a couple of months I will know if they will fit Federico, my partner’s friend future son ^^
