These booties are wonderful! My daughter was born at 12 weeks early...she was given a pair of booties and a beanie. She wore the beanie all the time but never the booties because of all the wires! Ive never made booties because of that reason, I love to make preemie hats, and now i can make the booties to match. Thank you so much for offering this pattern. I have already made two matching sets with your booties!

Great pattern! They were really easy to make and I plan to make lots more to donate. I''m also using your Never Ending Square pattern for my son''s 3rd birthday blanket and to make Lapghans for my local nursing home. Thanks for sharing these patterns!

I am attempting to make preemie booties for the first time. I don''t understand the part of the pattern that becomes the cuff. Could someone explain it to me, please? Thanks

When you get to the cuff you are going to be crocheting into the sides of the double crochets for the last 3 rows that formed the heels. So your going to basically do 2 dc in the side of each dc. Then there should be 1 stitch left open from the toe dc in that, then 2 dc in side of each dc on the other side. If this doesn''t help let me know.

This is a great pattern. I have been looking for a pattern that I didn''t have to worry about if it would fit correctly. And if i want to close the back, I can just make an extra row or two and stitch it up. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks a lot!

Deb - Hi - I''m new with this type of bootie, too. Is the back completely open and the tie holds it together? I don''t follow the reply to Debby just reading it but will try doing it.

Thanks!

Yes the back is completely open and the tie holds it together.
