Start Decreases:
Place markers and decrease as I explain in the video (link here) following the instructions below aswell as following the pattern instructions:

New born: 
18 sts / marker / 8 sts / marker / 18 sts (until 10 sts at either side of markers).

0-3 months:
22 sts / marker / 10 sts / marker / 22 sts (until 12 sts at either side of markers).

3-6 months:
23 sts / marker / 12 sts / marker / 23 sts (until 12 sts at either side of markers).

6-9 months: 
24 sts / marker / 14 sts / marker / 24 sts (until 14 sts at either side of makers).

Continue upwards:
Continue upwards following the eyelet pattern (or whichever pattern of your choice) until you achieve the cm's of your preference. 

Add rib and cast off:
It is now time to add rib to the top of our bootie, I did a 3x1 rib, but it is completely your choice and preference! And then finish it off with a lovely stretchy cast off like I explain in the video to make it super stretchy and easy to put on baby! 

And voila! Work done! How good was that? And barely any sewing up! 
Hope you enjoyed! See you soon x
