These are two booties that I recently made and I
couldn’t decide which one would work better for the client, so thought I’d just
make both and let them decide. Today I’ve used some of our lovely Indian Oswal Cashmilon acrylic with a 3.5 mm crochet hook

Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
