Subject: knit little shoe - corrected

Sorry, Pam -- I took another look at the litte tree shoe and realized that I
left out a line (the first decrease row)and had one number wrong  -- this
would explain a lot about why the numbers didn't come out right.  As I say,
it was my first attempt at sending to the list.  Here, with my apologies, is
the corrected version:

Little shoe for tree - improved version.

4.00mm needles + worsted weight yarn  OR
3.00mm needles + DK weight yarn

WHITE:  Cast on 48 sts.    Knit 2 rows.  Change to Red yarn
RED:  K19, K2tog, K6, K2tog, K to end.  Turn.  Knit one row even.
K18,K2tog, K6, K2tog, K to end.  Turn.  Knit one row even.

Sew together bottom of foot( = cast-on row) and back of shoe/sock.  Sew in
ends.  With White yarn, doubled, lace" up the coloured area of the shoe,
using your slip=stitch bumps as lacing holes, and tie a bow.  Sew a loop of
yarn to top back corner of shoe for hanging on tree.

Merry Christmas!
