A friend at church commented
Submitted by gshallc21 on Mon, 2010-01-25 08:22.A friend at church commented that her group needed more baby booites. I tried to make these and had a hard time. The front sort of looked okay, but the heels didn't look like they would stay on. I couldn't quite figure out what the point of the marker was after counting the starting point. This was my first attempt at booties. I've been making afghans and scarfs for years and want to expand my "repertoire". I saw a comment in another place that a 2hdc is an increase, I thought it was a decrease. Is that were I went wrong?
help
Submitted by erin on Mon, 2010-01-25 08:44.We're sorry you had difficulty with this pattern!
The pattern does not use the abbreviations "2hdc" at all. It does use hdc2tog and sc2tog, which are defined in the Special Abbreviations--they're to half double crochet two stitches together or single crochet two stitches together, and are indeed a decreases.
The stitch marker is simply to help you find where to start the instep; you can remove it once you've identified the first stitch of the instep.
After working the sole and instep, you do a round around the heel and front of the bootie and while along the heel you perform 3 sc2togs in succession, which will draw the back of the heel in a bit.
