Did you guess I was making bootees??
I am so totally in love with this pattern. Enough to make me think I'll never ever bother with any other bootee pattern.
Saartje's Bootee Pattern - extremely popular and oh so cute
The pattern is for 4ply and 2.5mm but I use 8ply and 3.25mm needles when I make these. My finished size is about 9.5cm and this size fit M from about 3months to about 6months. I love how quick these knit up and it is not a complicated pattern so is good for TV watching. The first time I made this I didn't do the straps as the pattern states and just fudged it (which was fine). This time I re-read it and realised it wasn't as difficult as what I had thought. Long tail cast on as per normal but use a 2nd (short) piece of yarn for the thumb strand.
I used leftover yarn from my pink mouse...
Tonight I wrapped up the mouse and the bootees and they are going to be sent off to a dear friend who is having a baby girl later this year.
I hope she likes them as much as I liked making them
See them on Ravelry

Just what I need, another project. ;)
OMG those are so cute! I already have them in my Ravelry queue but I might have to move them to the top! Nice idea to pair them with the mouse for a baby gift.
