Wrap around baby booties and a quick hat.


These turned out so cute, booties and hat set for my very dear friend's newest piece :)
I added flowers in case it's a girl, she can remove them later. She doesnt know the gender yet, as its banned in India to find out gender pre-birth. And since these will be shipped to India I wont be able to do last minute changes myself. So had to think of a way that it can be used for both just with a little snip and cut :)
The wrap around booties pattern isn't mine, its from imtopsyturvy. Here is the link to the pattern for wrap around booties, keep reading for the flowers and hat pattern.

I also made a hat to go with it. Here is the pattern for hat:

Hat:

Start with a magic circle
R1: Chain 3, 12 dc inside the magic circle and pull it tight. Slip stitch to the first DC (not to the 3rd chain of chain 3 because that gives a very visible seam. This method creates a less visible seam)
R2: Chain 2, 2 DC in the same stitch, 2 DC in every DC, sl st to the first dc (24)
R3: Chain 2, 2 DC in the same stitch, 1 DC in the next stitch (repeat all around), sl st to the first DC (36)
R4: Chain 2, 1 DC in the same stitch, 1 DC in each stitch around (36)
R5-R10: Repeat R4
R11: Change color if you want to and repeat row 4 twice.
R12 (edging): Chain 3, *2 DC in the same stitch, skip 2 stitches, SC in the next stitch, Chain 2* Repeat from * to * around. Fasten off and weave the ends.

Flower Petals:
Start with a magic circle
Rnd 1: Chain 4, * DC , Chain 1* repeat from * 9 times . Slip stitch in the 3rd ch of beginning ch 4 (you have 10 chain 1 spaces)
Rnd 2: SC in the next chain one space, HDC, 2DC, HDC, SC in the same chain 1 space. SC in the next ch 1 space, HDC, 2 DC, HDC, SC. And repeat for every chain 1 space until you have 10 petals. Sl st in the beginning SC.
Flower Centre:
Start with a magic circle
Chain 3. 12 DC inside the magic circle, sl st to the beginning DC.

This is how they looked before the flowers were added.
 

 And after the flowers are added if its a girl:
