• Increase (INC) – working 2 stitches in the same space.

Instructions:

Step 1: Sole

1. Begin with green yarn. CH 11 (for size 3-6 months).
2. Row 1: SC in the second CH from the hook and in each CH across (10 SC).
3. Row 2: Work 2 SC in each of the first and last stitches (12 SC).
4. Row 3: Work around the previous row in a continuous circle, making 2 SC in each of the next 2 stitches to form the heel and toe, SC across the sides (16 SC). Continue for 4 more rounds, forming an oval sole.

Step 2: Bootie Body

1. Switch to red yarn. SC around the sole for 3 rounds to create the sides of the bootie.
2. For the next round, alternate SC and HDC stitches to create a ribbed look around the top.
3. Row 4: Switch to white yarn. Continue SC in the round, working 3 rounds.
4. Switch back to green yarn for the top of the bootie, working 2 rounds of SC. Cut and fasten off.

Step 3: Santa Decoration

1. For Santa’s face, use white yarn to create a small circle: CH 2, 6 SC into the first CH, SL ST to close. Add a few SC for a second round.
2. For the beard, attach white yarn and work puff stitches around the face.
3. Make a small red nose by working a magic circle with red yarn and stuffing it lightly.
4. Attach small black beads or use yarn for the eyes, and sew all pieces onto the front of the bootie.

Step 4: Holly Leaves

1. With green yarn, CH 6.
2. Work SC, HDC, DC in the second CH from the hook and continue to make a leaf shape by varying the stitch height (HDC, SC). Turn and work back down the other side of the CH to mirror the shape.
3. Create small red berries with red yarn and attach them along with the holly leaves to the side of the bootie.

Step 5: Laces
