Novas vidas a chegar

Por coincidência, tenho duas grandes amigas grávidas com diferença de duas semanas. E ambas estão em Londres.

Fiz estas botas cheias de amor, para acompanhar os pequenos passinhos dessas novas vidas que estão aí a chegar.

A receita/pattern delas pode ser encontrada no meu blog aqui.

Little Feet - Pattern

Aqui está, como prometido, a receita das botinhas.

Little Feet

Crochet hook n.º3 (US-D) and yarn

Gauge: 22 sc - 10cm

(With the yarn that I worked and this gauge, the sole of my bootie ended with 10 cm. Check this chart on wendyknits to see baby foot sizes. I hope it will help!)

5ch and join in a circle. Work in spirals.

1. 5sc in circle
2. 2sc in each ch = 10
3. (sc*1, 2sc*1)*5 = 15
4. (sc*2, 2sc*1)*5 = 20
5. (sc*3, 2sc*1)*5 = 25
6. (sc*4, 2sc*1)*5 = 30
7. (sc*5, 2sc*1)*5 = 35
8. (2sc*1, sc*5)*4, 2sc*1, 28 ch that will join the first sc, leaving 10 sc in between
9. (sc*5, 2sc*1)*4, sc till the end
10 to 15. 60sc
Cut the yarn.

We worked towards the sole, now we start working the upper part.
With the 10 remainig sts in front of you (see row number 8), start working in the left corner. As we want to create more or less a circle work 1sc, 28sc, 1sc. (this 1´s sc are to compensate the shape at the corners)
Work 14 rows of 40 sc.
Picot at the end.

Sole:
Chain 16
1. 1sc in 3rd chain from the hook, 12sc, 3sc in same ch; on the other side, 12sc, 2sc in same ch
2. 2sc*1, 12sc, (2sc*1)*3, 12sc, (2sc*1)*2
3. 36sc
4. (2sc*1)*2, 12 sc, , (2sc*1)*6, 12sc, (2sc*1)*4
5 . 48sc
6. (2sc*1, 1sc*1)*2, 12sc, (2sc*1, 1sc*1)*6, 12sc, (2sc*1, 1sc*1)*4 =60
Cut yarn.

Put the two parts together, working a row of sc.

That´s it!
