Knot Hard to Do Baby Booties Pattern,

A Crochet Bucket List Project

This baby booties pattern made it to my bucket-list for only a few hours – before my sister mentioned how much she loved  it too –  so since baby Savannah is already one-month old I needed to hook these up quickly!

The pattern is very easy to follow – the instructions are clear and precise and Salena provides photographs to show how each round should look after it has been completed.

I found these photographs extremely helpful – as initially, I struggled to interpret how to work the slip stitch and ch-1 (or 2) stitches into the pattern.

I don’t often work with ss or ch-1 at the end/beginning of rounds so this was a little confusing for me at first – but once I realized I needed to count them (the ss and beginning ch1 or ch2) as stitches, yet skip over them when I ss at the end of each round, I was able to get the stitches in the rounds to add-up and the pattern to centre properly at the front of the booties.

Here is my attempt to explain how it should be hooked:
The ss at the end of the round goes in the first stitch of the round; which is not the chain-1 (or 2) but the stitch that follows the chain-1 (or 2) at the beginning of the round. So, you count the chain-1 (or 2) as a stitch but you don’t work into it. 
I hope that makes sense and assists others who try the pattern and are unfamiliar with ending/beginning rounds with slip stitches and chain stitches.
The pattern is 100% accurate – it was my interpretation that was off 😉
