• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Sole

1. Using the pink yarn, start by making a magic ring. This will be the foundation of your booties.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then make 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close it.
3. Round 2: Make 2 single crochets in each stitch around. You should have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: (Single crochet in the next stitch, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: (Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. You should have 24 stitches now.
6. Switch to the cream yarn.
7. Rounds 5-6: Single crochet in each stitch around for 2 rounds. You will maintain 24 stitches.

Creating the Upper

1. Switch back to the pink yarn.
2. Round 7: Single crochet in each stitch around (24 stitches).
3. Round 8: (Single crochet in the next 3 stitches, then 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. You will have 30 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Rounds 9-12: Single crochet in each stitch around for 4 rounds, maintaining 30 stitches.

Creating the Cuff

1. Switch to the cream yarn for the ribbed cuff.
2. Round 13: (Front post double crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch) around. This creates the ribbed texture.
3. Rounds 14-16: Repeat Round 13 for 3 additional rounds to achieve a nice, thick cuff.

Finishing Touches

1. Once you have completed the cuff, fasten off the yarn by cutting it and pulling it through the last loop.
2. Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring your booties are neat and tidy.
