Hand Knitted Bootees

Hand Knitted Bootees: The dainty lace pattern in which the leg portion is worked is simple in construction, so can quite well be attempted by a beginner. Knitted in the material recommended they will wear and wash well.

Materials:-

• 1 oz. 3-ply Beehive Vest Wool.
• Three no.9 Celluloid Knitting Needles.
• Half yard ribbon.

Commencing with the lace edging, cat on 51 stitches.

1st row - knit plain.

2nd row - K.2, wool forward, K.2, K.3 together, K.2, *wool forward, K.1, wool forward, K.2, K.3 together, K.2, repeat from * to the end of the row, ending with wool forward, K.2 separately.

Repeat these two rows until the lace measures 3.5 inches from the commencement, finishing with a plain row. Then make the ribbon holes in the next row as follows:- *K.3, wool forward, K.2 together, repeat from * to the end of the row.

Work 3 rows in plain knitting, then divide the stitches for the instep as follow:- K.17, work backwards and forwards in plain knitting for 22 rows on the next 17 stitches.

Fasten off the wool, leaving several inches. Commence again where the K.17 were left and, with the same needle, knit up 12 stitches along the side of the instep piece and 8 of the instep stitches. With another needle knit the remaining 9 instep stitches, knit up 12 stitches down the other side of the instep and knit the remaining 17 at the ankle.

Work in plain knitting, without shaping, for 11 rows. Then work 6 more rows, decreasing once at the beginning and end of each needle.

Either cast off the 2 needles together, or graft the stitches. Thread the ribbon at the ankle of this hand knitted bootees pattern.
