Materials:

• Size H hook
• Single strand, 4 ply, or 2 or 3 strands baby yarn.

These booties are made in rounds.

Row 1 : Ch 12, sc in 2nd st from hk, sc in next 9 sts, 3 sc in end (toe) st, continue along the other side of the chain, sc in next 10 sts, 3 sc in end (heel) st. Do not join.

Row 2 : Sc in each sc, 3 sc at end of each row

Row 3, 4, 5 : Sc in each sc, do not inc.

Row 6 : Sc in each sc, dec 3 sts at toe, sc in sc to heel.

Row 7: Repeat row 6

Row 8: Repeat row 6, at heel, join with sl st, ch 3

Row 9 : *Sk 1 sc, hdc in next sc, ch 1 rep from * around. Join with sl st. Ch 1

Row 10 : *Sc in ch 1 sp, ch rept from * around. Join with sl st and break off. Weave ends into work.

Make 2 chains 15" long & weave in and out of bootie top

Note: After row 10, I make another row, ch 1 hdc ch 1 in each space, making the bootie a little higher and not so plain. Also for Preemie I use the same hook but instead of 4 ply, use 3 ply or baby yarn and makes a much smaller bootie.
This is a very easy pattern as you don't have to count stitches or sew them together either.
