I’m knitting these for my little one, due next month but, I don’t think I’m reading it correctly though. When doing the Sole, it states to start with 38 stitches (19 of each color) and basically add 4 sts every other row (RS) until you have 62 stitches total. If I do that, it only takes 13 rows to get to 62. Then I am to start working the upper. This doesn’t seem like it will make the sole of the shoe large enough. Am I looking at it the wrong way, or not adding enough rows??
thanks so much! And congratulations on your new little one!!

These booties turned out so cute! I’m a little concerned about the safety of the bells – in case baby can pull them off – so it’s really important to secure them well! But they are cute, cute, cute and easy to make and felt.

Oh my gosh, those are too cute! I can just imagine a little baby sitting and shaking their feet back and forth like bells…

Thank you so much for showing me your bootie photos! Mind if I post them in a gallery on my blog (or rather, start a reader gallery with them, since no one else has sent photos)? It will be here: http://sanguinegryphon.blogspot.com/2006/11/booties.html
And thank you also just for the link to your blog, which I really enjoyed reading. Your patterns are beautiful and you write very well.
