Full Tweed Ahead Booties

Not quite so plain booties!

When you want to knit an easy pair of booties, but you want a tiny bit of something extra to hold your interest … try Full Tweed Ahead Booties! Two different coloured tweedy yarns show off tidy garter stitch stripes on the cuff and a contrasting instep. These are started like a toe-up sock and worked mostly in the round with some short rows for shaping the instep.
