The Booties Are Back! The Booties Are Back!

PLEASE!  For the love of God and any child who will wear these adorable booties, please do NOT stitch on bells or bobbles or anything else a baby could chew or gum off.

Those are cute!  How about a pattern in for them in adult sizes too for us young at heart.

Glad to see the booties back.  I would be very interested in adult sizes in the same style.  I feel similar to a recent comment.  I would like to see more patterns in IK sized up versions such as the Central Park Hoodie was (thanks!).  In a dream world, we would all be sized 10 or smaller, however tens of thousands of knitters or people those knitters would like to make things for are not in that category.  Please have at least several things that are up-sized in each issue.  I did not renew my subscription several years ago based on the sizing range.  I now review the IK issue in a store and then make my decision whether to buy it or dot.  Though there are always some things of interest in each issue, I usually decide that it does not meet my needs and pass on it.  Now that some items are not supported online that were online when I subscribed to or bought the issues I have, I am again saddened.  True, I can adjust and rewrite some things but it doesn't always work out.  I think it will usually just work out best if I start from the beginning and design my own things or with a pattern that I buy as a single pattern in the correct size.  My best wishes for Knitting Daily's success to help most people.  Mary

I'm with HeidiD and MaryB. I would love to see adult patterns. Or hints/tips on how to increase to adult sizes.

Really great boots - I have a brand new grandaughter - first one! - but have done a search on the yarn, and can't find it in UK.  Guess it's our 4ply equivalent, given the size of the needles, and obviously a 100% wool is required......any ideas or comments?  GrannyAnn

I too would love to know how to make these for adult-sized (but perhaps not totally adult minded) people.  We all love something fun and whimsical in our lives.  Help us get to the off-center side.  Please, please, please.

To AnnS --  See the website for the yarn details:

and then search for a yarn conversion chart, there are quite a few.

Such as:

I have no affiliation...Enjoy.

Magic!  Thanks for your suggestions - websites duly logged under my Knitting Favourites!

How do you bang cymbals and beat drums to have a pattern brought back? I dearly love Sandy Cushman's Wedding Afghan and thought I'd copied it, but after nearly a 3-hour search I haven't been able to turn up my copy. This pattern is just the one I'd hoped to make for a wedding in August. I'm yearning:( I even checked to see if it might be for sale in the store to no avail.

Pining in VT,

Oh Please - I am a new knitter and an old Nana; the Grands are big kids with big feet, but I know they would love booties to fit their piggies now. I have no clue how to enlarge the pattern directions, I can just about knit and pearl! HELP!!!! vee

These are adorable booties!  I just came to the blog to comment on the bells on the jester style booties.  Just imagine that you're a baby in the crib - the bells would dig into your little legs.  I'm surprised no-one else has commented on this, though I see there's a comment about the health and safety issues.  Thanks for a great site.

Hey,

I love these boots, but I'm slightly confused!

I'm making the Gold Bobble Booties,  and when you get to the just before the "Upper" section it says "Purl 1 RS row. Upper, Change to B and work 9 rows even in St St.  Next row: (RS) K28...."

Now, do I do nine rows which I alternate knit a row then purl a row, doing nine rows total, but that doesn't correspond with then going onto a RS row, or do I do 18 rows total (knit then purl a line 9 times, which would take me to a RS row?

Any help gratefully recieved!

Thanks,

Anna

Hi! I love these booties and am starting out with the serf booties, but am already stuck at the sole. The first two rounds of increases are spelled out, but I'm not sure at what point I continue to make the increases in the middle. In the first row they are done in the middle two stitches, in the second increase row there are two knit stitches between the center increases. For the third row I tried K1, K1f&b, K17, K1f&b, K4, K1f&b, K17, but then had extra stitches before the final Kf&b, K1.

Any comments from anyone who's made these?!

Thanks!!!!
