I was looking online for a bigger bootie and couldn't find any I liked, loads of easy ones for preemie and newborn, but I wanted one to match the hat I made from worsted weight yarn.. I came up with this pattern.

Link to it, use it, sell the booties, or give them away.
If you find a mistake in the pattern please tell me, as the pattern was only tested by myeslf.
Thanks

on the second row above the purl 17...kitchener stitch it says p2tog, k17... I feel like you meant that entire row to be purl. am I right?

i'm confused with the last part. It says to purl 17st is that because 17st is all I should have left over after decreasing?

These are so cute. What size are these. I am making them as a gift for a two month old. I'm afraid they may be too hot here in Florida. I was thinking about 6-12 which would fit her in October. Or are these more like socks. I have a fine yarn. Thanks for your pattern
