Alternate Rounds 9 & 10: You may crochet any pattern in rounds 9 & 10 to match a hat

Experiment . . . the simplicity of this pattern makes it easy to adapt the final rounds to
match your other pieces!
Ties (make 2): Crochet a chain approximately 17 inches long and weave through round 8
of dc in each bootie. Tie in a bow. If using fingering or lighter weight baby yarn, crochet
your chain to 18 inches, then slip stitch in 2nd ch from end and in each ch to the end, or
use 2 strands of yarn together. You may also use a good quality ribbon (1/4" - 1" wide) for
ties.
**Decrease DC: yarn over and insert hook in st, pull up a loop, insert hook in next st, pull
up a loop, yarn over and pull through 3 loops,
