Tape measure.

PATTERN NOTES:
In (2, 3) rounds always begin your rounds in the same stitch as your chain.
If the number is written before the stitch (2hdc) work 2hdc into the same stitch. If the number is written after the stitch (hdc 2) work hdc into the next 2 stitches.
Repeat what is written in the () as many times as it’s written right after the (). For an example: Repeat (2hdc, hdc1) 5 times. It means that you have to repeat the sequence work 2 hdc sts into the same st. 1 hdc into the next one 5 times. And you will get 5 additional stitches by doing that.
At the end of each round/row please count how many sts do you have at the end of that round/row.
These booties will fit 0-3 months, But you can make it in any size by changing your hook size. For example: in my pattern, I chose a 3.5 mm hook with medium yarn but you can work with a 5.00 mm hook with the same yarn if you want a bigger size. This means when you work with a bigger hook size, the bootie will be bigger.
