Did one bootie for the Mom & Baby Clapotis set today. DD admitted she probably wouldn't really wear it much, so it will be for the expectant mom.
Bockstark, another mother of twins on Ravelry introduced me to this bootee. I got one done today even though DS#2 did not take his nap. Edited to add: Finished the 2nd on 4/15, wthich is the next day I picked it up.
The original pattern is Saartje's Bootees.
Bockstark (Kris) posted her version in the round, which I modified for my worsted weight yarn as follows:
Cast on 23 st.
Round 1: Place marker after 11th st, k1, pm...
Increase through Round 6, then work even.
Only work 13 rnds (bootee about 1.5" tall at this point) before changing to CC and doing decrease rnd.
Please refer to original patterns above for complete directions.
My other variations--I made the straps 21st long total, and did my buttonholes by a y00, k2tog at end of the strap. I did not move my increases to the corners of the toe area, but kept them on each side of the central toe stitch.
