Introduction:
Bootie is worked in one piece, beginning at the top of the cuff, down 1 side of the leg, heel and foot part, then the other side of the leg part and up to the other top of the cuff. 
The cuff has a simple ribbed look by using the bpdc and fpdc st.

The turning ch 3 is the first st of each and every row
Do not break off yarn until the final row, leaving your self a long length of yarn to sew up booties

*( ribbing)* Row 2. work 1 bpdc around the post of the next dc, *work 1 fpdc around the post of the next dc, work 1 bpdc around the post of the next dc*,  rep from *to* to last dc, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, (9 st’s) ch 3 and turn
Row 3. work 1 dc in the back loop of each dc across, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, (9 st’s), ch 3 and turn

Row 8. work 1 sc in the back loop of the next sc, work 1 dc in the back loop of the next 13 dc, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, ch 1 and turn

Row 9. work 1 sc in the back loop of each st across, ch 1 and turn (15 sc)

Foot Part:

Row 10. work 1 sc in the back loop of the next sc, work 1 dc in the back loop of the next 14 sc, ch 3 and turn ( 1 sc, 14 dc, 15 st’s total)
Row 11. work 1 dc in the back loop of the next 13 dc. Work 1 sc in the back loop of the last sc, ch 1 and turn
Row 12. work 1 sc in the back loop of the next sc, work 1 dc in the back loop of the next 13 dc, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, ch 3 and turn

Row 14. work 1 dc in the back loop of each dc across, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, ch 3 and turn

*ribbing* 
Row 17. work 1 fpdc around the post of the next dc, *work 1 bpdc around the post of the next dc, work 1 fpdc around the post of the next dc, * repeat from *to* 2 times more, work 1 dc in the top of the ch 3, break off yarn leaving your self enough yarn to sew around the entire bootie


To sew up one piece bootie, it is best not to crochet the bootie closed, a simple whip st makes a finer finish for the inside of the bootie, gentle on the baby's feet.
Sew one piece bootie up all in one go, pick the side you like the best to show on the out side, then make the fold so that is on the in side of the bootie. Sew down the side of the leg, across the top of the foot around the toe part, run the yarn neatly through the middle of the sole (row 9 in pattern), then continue to sew up the other leg side, secure yarn and finish off.
Turn the one piece bootie right side out, turn the little cuff over and there you have it.
You can finish off with some ribbon or a length of chain threaded through through the row above the foot piece or any where of your liking.

 I thought you may like some insight in how I planned this one piece bootie, firstly I did a simple sketch of what I had in mind, I did make a bootie off the  top sketch but is was like one of those Christmas stockings you make, so I had to refine it with a bit of shape and I made the bootie off the second sketch after I refined that a little more too.
Good luck with your bootie, I’d love to hear your feed back.

Free pattern, one piece sweater 3 to 6 months

My sweet grand daughter wearing the above one piece sweater, she is 2 weeks old and her name is Cindy.


Free Pattern, Matching One Piece Diaper Cover Found Here

Free pattern, matching one piece wonder booties, here


Introduction:  This sweater/cardigan is worked in one piece beginning at the right front side, then a sleeve, then the back, then another sleeve, then the left front which is made slightly wider than the right, this is for the over flap to button the sweater/cardigan. Then the sides and sleeves are joined, followed by a collar which brings it all in. The sweater/cardigan is reversible if you refer to button up on the opposite side.


The sleeve cuffs are included in the making of the sleeve.

The pattern is quite repetitive so you will get the hang of it in no time, it may be easier to count the dc rows of each panel, right front has 8 panels, sleeves have 17 panels, back has 17 panels, left front has 10 panels.


To fit: newborn to 3 months (larger sized pattern to come at a later date, now available one piece sweater size 3 to 6 months)
Hook size: 4.00mm. US G/6
Yarn: 8 ply, approx 150 gm’s. US DK/Medium
US crochet terms used
Crochet tension, medium
Skill, beginner
Time frame, either side of 6 hours

Stitches used:
Ch= chain
Sc= single crochet
Dc= double crochet
BL= back loop 

Sc 2 together= insert hook into first sc, pull up a loop, insert hook into second sc, pull up a loop,( 2 loops on hook) yarn over hook and pull through the 2 loops on hook. 

Special Instructions:
Unless working into a chain, every stitch in this pattern is worked into the back loop of every stitch
The chain 3 to turn is the first dc of every row worked
When working into the chain 3 go into the second chain and not the top of the chain 3, this gives a nice firm bottom edging

Row 6 to 11. repeat rows 4 and 5, do not ch 3, now you can break off the yarn.


Putting it together:
Turn your one piece sweater, inside out, line up the back and side from the bottom, you can sc them together or a simple whip st, I did mine the sc way, make sure each st is matched up and secure them together all the way up to the cuff, repeat for the other side.


The collar: By this stage you will notice that the collar is too wide, so we have to pick up and crochet st’s around the collar.
You may see a few yarn joins in the pictures, but that is only because I was using recycled yarn from a jumper I frogged, a beautiful soft woolen jumper.

Row 1.Begin in the top corner of the right front, join yarn with a sl st and make 1 sc in same place, 1 sc in the next space, skip 1 space, 1 sc in next, all the way around, you will have approx 38 sc, ch 1 and turn ( no need for perfection here a st or 2 out will be fine)

 (this picture below, just shows the skipped space)

Row 2. *1 sc in next 2 sc, sc next 2 sc together (decrease made), 1 sc in next 2 sc, * repeat from *to* to end, finish off.

You may like to make the collar a row or 2 longer, you can do this with out decreasing.

Now if you haven’t already, get out that needle and sew in loose ends, add buttons to right front, as many that suits you.
Now you can be a little fancy and add some nice picot edging around the sleeves or collar, add a flower or even make it in a two tone color.


Note the spacing at the top of the front edge's where I have placed a button each side, this is the style of the sweater and I have added the 2 buttons for simple decoration.

Good luck with your one piece sweater, I’d love to hear your feed back.
Please do not sell this pattern, please link back to me if you use this pattern, I’d love to see this used for charity, and you can make and sell items from this pattern too.

Cat's matching  one piece bootie pattern

Matching one piece diaper pattern

Wow, check this video tutorial out, thanks to Clare Sullivan a fellow Aussie that I met through face book. This must have been so time consuming and I really appreciate Clares time and wonderful comments.



Below is a demonstration of how this pattern can be quite versatile, my first choice was to go for a 2 tone color combo
I made 8 sc of the cream then 1sc of the pink so I would not have to change the colors on a sc to a dc, thus hiding the color change as much as I could.

I added 2 rows of sc to the cuff after finishing the one piece

I made an extra hdc row then a sc row on the very last panel ( left side)

Here it is before sewing in loose ends, I have lot's of joins as this is from recycled yarn.

This is the size difference between the 0 to 3 month pattern and the 3 to 6 month pattern one piece sweater

QUOTE from Celia:
It’s taken me a wee while to complete this version of Cat’s One Piece Wonder baby cardigan in a larger size for my 18 month old daughter.
Basically, I took the measurements off the baby one I made earlier, then increased the number of stitches to match up roughly with one of her current cardigans.
For those that are interested, here’s a brief description of what I did :


RIGHT FRONT:
ch 61.
Row 1: 15 sc (start in 2nd ch from hook), then 45 dc. Ch 3 and turn.
Row 2: 45 dc (ch 3 is the first dc), then 15 sc, ch 1 and turn.
Row 3: 15 sc (ch 1 is the first sc), then 45 dc. Ch 3 and turn.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until there are 18 rows.
 
RIGHT SLEEVE:
Row 1: 15 sc, 10 tc (treble crochet), then ch 46. (You can probably make it with fewer chains as the sleeves are a bit too long for my daughter!)
Row 2: 7 sc (start in 2nd ch from hook), then 47 dc, 15 sc. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 3: 15 sc (ch 1 is the first sc), 47 dc, 7 sc, ch1 and turn.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until Row 19 (18 rows of dc/sc stitches in total).

BACK:
Row 1: 15 sc, 10 tc, ch 38.
Row 2: Starting in 4th ch from hook, 45 dc, then 15 sc. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 3: 15 sc (ch 1 is the first sc), 45 dc. Ch 3 and turn.
Row 4: 45 dc (ch 1 is the first dc), 15 sc. Ch 1 and turn.
Repeat rows 3 and 4 until 31 rows across.

LEFT SLEEVE:

Same as right sleeve.

LEFT FRONT:

Same as right front, except only 15 rows across.

Row 16 (starts at top of cardigan for button holes): ch 3, skip a stitch, then 13 dc. Ch 3, skip a stitch, then 10 dc. Ch 3 skip a stitch, then 10 dc. Ch 3 skip a stitch, then 10 dc. Ch 3 skip a stitch, then 10 dc. (Should make 6 buttonholes in total).

PUTTING IT TOGETHER:
I followed the rest of Cat’s One Piece Wonder instructions.

For the collar, I added 1 extra row of sc to make it longer, then another row with 11 sc until the fold of the sleeve, then dcs along the back until the other sleeve fold, then 11 sc to the front.

Hopefully that makes sense for anyone who cares!! (And for me when I try to figure out what I did.)
