@mrsowens0515 Thank you! It is something I have had on my "to do" list for a while. I need to write up a pattern, which can take some time.

Hi Teresa - I love your blog and detailed videos. I have tried this pattern twice and have been meticulous about counting stitches. However, the booties are way too long. One of them fits my 19 mo. toddler, but I want to make them for a newborn! I used the same hook and yarn as you. Any suggestions?

@McFallFamilyFun You can work a shorter chain with less stitches, then work the heel and toe the same for the shaping. You may want to eliminate round 4. The toe top will need modified working less stitches.
