Cosy Cable Booties

Classic cable booties are perfect for your new baby. Knit them in any of the many colours of

this soft baby yarn.

Notes1. Bootie is worked in back and forth in one

piece, beginning at the center of the sole and working up to the ribbed cuff, then sewn together at the back edges and center of sole.

2. One ball of yarn may be sufficient to make two pairs of booties, but you may need to unravel and use your gauge swatch.
