[Nfb-krafters-korner] booties measurements needed

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I made one with a 6 brim, 4, heal, 4 and toe and it looks a lot better.  I will make the other and see how they fit.  Remember I am using thick yarn.  A lot easier and faster and good for the winter!

Not sure if I would be the one that has it.  I don't remember what the preemie project was.  Would that have been Cindy S.?  Most patterns that I found on the internet did 6 rows, make brim, knit 2 more, do heel and knit 7 or 8 one patterns said.  They had done 6 but thought it seemed to short.

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.
