February 1980 Winner

​Despite a last minute surge in voting for the elephant, the booties won with 74% of the votes.

The Pattern:
These have multiple sections for each part of the bootie and seem pretty detailed.   I don’t have any immediate concerns with the pattern.

The Materials – the pattern suggests that you use:
  • A size F hook for the small size.   A G for medium and large
  • 50 yds of white and 20 yds of red 4-ply acrylic yarn
  • 3-ply baby yarn for shoestrings
 
I think 4-ply yarn is the equivalent of DK or #3 yarn and 3-ply baby yarn is #2 weight/fingering.   I’m going to use acrylic worsted weight yarn instead of DK and DK instead of fingering.   After reading through the pattern I’ve discovered that I’ll also need a size D hook to make the shoestrings.

There is a gauge so I’ll see if what I make matches it but since these aren’t being made for a specific baby I’m not too worried about being exact.  

The gauge is 4 sc =  1-inch and the small sole measurement is 3.5 inches.

Next Week:

These adorable booties are going to be pretty quick to make so I’ll have the finished ones up next weekend.   The following weekend you get a bonus bootie.   I found a similar set of patterns by Annie’s Attic that includes the cowboy boots and I’ll make those for the February 15th weekend.  They're in a booklet called Big Foot Boutique.  These are more children and adult sizes instead of baby sizes so the boots will be a little bigger than the tennis shoes.

    I'm from Minnesota and have been crocheting since 2003.  I inherited a box full of Workbasket Magazines from my mother-in-law and became obsessed with the vintage patterns.
