Grandmas Easy Ten-Step Baby Booties

Heather Phillips
Suitable for beginners, this adorable, easy-to-make baby bootie is made in half
double crochet; a dense stitch that helps to insulate babys feet, making this bootie
perfect for winter babies or babies who live in chilly climates. The pattern is quick
and simple to make, and the finished product is both cute and practical.
Designers Note: Back when my grandmother was teaching me to crochet, this
was the first pattern she showed me how to make (and if a fumble-fingered 11 year
old can learn to make this pattern, anyone can!). Someone taught it to her when
she was first learning how to crochet. But in spite of how long it has been around,
nobody had written it down until now. I wanted to share the pattern, but do it in
a way that recognizes that I am just the most recent link in a long chain of women
who have been making and sharing this pattern. That is why I named it after my
grandmother.
