Introduction: The bootie is
made from the cuff down and in the round, then onto a flat row for a bit of
shaping, then back into the round to shape it all off. If you can do the
stitches explained you can make this and if you want a super quick and easy
bootie pattern, this is for you!
The idea behind this pattern
was to create a functional bootie that would be quick and easy to make. I am
hoping that this pattern will not only reach the beginner, but the many of
thousands whom crochet for charity. I am a strong believer in the “Pay It
Forward” motto and this is my way of helping those who help others.

To join sole seam,
fold bootie in half and sl st together by using only 1 loop of the top st and 1
loop of the bottom st, break off yarn leaving a long tail, now you can turn
your bootie inside out and sl st those loose ends in, or you can bring out the
sewing needle and sew in the ends

I live in Australia and I do buy my yarn from Deramores, not only do they have a very large range to choose from, they also have any thing from free to low cost shipping, here is a picture of one of my yarn hauls from Deramores.
The more you buy the more you save!
Their packaging for shipping across the sea's is very secure.
