Insert needle in first stitch as to knit. Wrap the yarn around needle twice, and then complete the stitch. Continue in same way in each stitch across the row.
Knit across pulling off but not working the extra loop of each stitch.
This makes long stitches to weave the tie through. You could also also do an eyelet (YO K2tog) row.
Work in K1, P1 ribbing for 6 rows.
Bind off.
Sew back and bottom seam.
Crochet a chain about 18 inches long to weave thru eyelet row or use about 18 inches of ribbon.

I was excited to find the preemie bootie pattern on your web site tonight. Thank you so much. I'll be looking for your size variations of it. I am also trying to work out a bootie pattern with small needles for a fine knit for preemies.

So cute Janette! I'll get you the measurements soon. I'll email you and let you know why I'm held up. Hope you're having a great "vacation"!
