Dragon Booties

Discover the unique and stylish approach to bootie making with our exclusive crocodile stitch technique! This knitting pattern is designed to guide you through creating adorable booties that not only look great but also feature a fun and contemporary texture. You'll begin by knitting the bootie in a traditional manner, but as you transition to the crocodile stitch, you'll follow a special method: remove the stitches from the loom, flip the bootie inside out, and then place the stitches back. This innovative technique is sure to impress both novice and experienced loom knitters alike!

To make your crafting experience even easier, this pattern includes a comprehensive video tutorial that visually walks you through each step of the bootie-making process. You'll also find detailed photo tutorials included within the written pattern, ensuring that you have all the guidance you need to succeed. For those who want to customize their booties, I've provided a sizing formula that allows you to adjust the pattern for different sizes and looms—perfect for creating booties for little ones of all ages!

I worked with the universal 3/8" gauge sock loom from Cindwood Looms to create this toe-up bootie pattern, which is tailored for advanced loom knitters. It requires about one skein of Red Heart Super Saver Stripes yarn, making it an affordable and delightful project to take on. If you have any questions or encounter any challenges along the way, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Happy knitting, and enjoy making these charming booties!
