First, measure your foot and get the widest and longest part in inches. Next, copy each image of the booties pattern onto Word doc. and try to enlarge each piece in that software. To ensure that the booties fit, add 1.5 in. to the length and 2 in. to the width. I played around with various measurements and this seems to work out just perfect. I also doubled the top piece and the bottom sole piece so my booties are a bit thicker for both warm and durability. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions. Michelle, if you are interested in learning, I'd be happy to teach you. Just let me know. Anyone who wants to make their own booties, I have some tips for you.

I thread the elastic through the bottom layer so it doesn't show on the top. Does this make sense? Petrie,

I'm going to have to try the booties. I'm getting tired of crocheting slippers and the kids slip and fall on our kitchen tile all the time. Did you thread the elastic through the top of the bootie as the instructions show? Petrie Too Cool, Lois. I’m going to have to try the booties.
