[Nfb-krafters-korner] booties measurements needed

[Dixie]

I have a pair of knit boot slippers that has a band of elastic running
through the cuff. It is just a thin strand of sewing elastic that is woven
through the stitches.   This gives the boot a little memory and therefore,
it doesn't slouch.  Maybe you might try that with your booties?

With Henry's guidance, we used 6 for the cuff and 6 for the leg and then the
heal and 6 for the foot and then the toe.  It looks pretty big, but with the
cuff it should not fall of and he can wair them for a while.

Hi Terry,

You wrote:

If I am making your booties in thick yarn for a newborn and it says 10 rows
for the foot and leg, what would you use for a new born, about 6 or 8?

Answer, I am not sure. I made some newborn booties and a friend put them on
her two-month grand-daughter and they didn't fit. I thought I was making a
newborn bootie but apparently it was more the size for a preemie bootie.

There are size measurements to use as a guide, Cindy  Z probably still has
the info from the preemie project. Perhaps she can send you the measurement
info.
