👶 Now you’re shaping the top of the bootie to hug the baby’s foot.
4. Cuff or Ribbing (Optional but Cute!)
🪡 Finishing:

Cut the yarn, leaving a 6” tail.

Use a yarn needle to weave in all ends.
-
Make a second bootie!

Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of rounds.

You can customize with a bow, button, or little pompom on the top!
