These booties were designed to match the infants size of my Kid's Bumpy Hat. I have also made a matching sweater.
I used a J hook and a light worsted weight yarn to make the ones in the picture. They came out at about 3 3/4" long.

When you say you used a light worsted weight yarn, what do you mean by this? Is that a light baby weight yarn like TLC baby?, or is it worsted weight, like red heart super saver yarn? Can you please post an answer on here? O love the pattern for all three items by the way.
I think I meant that although it's rated at worsted weight it's not as thick as some are.
Hi Deb:
I've finished the sweater and hat and now doing the booties. However, I'm confused about the heel. Rounds 2&3 have me stumped!
Do I turn the bootie for these rounds? Do you have any pics for the heel? How do I leave 6 DC's?
PLEASE, I'm almost there...HELP.

Yes you turn it at the end of each row. You do not leave 6 DC you leave a 6" tail of yarn to sew up the back of the heel. Hope this helps.
Is bootie worked on 14 sts? At the end of round 1 it says 12 sts, but instructions look like there are 14 sts.
