Baby Hug Boots ~ Version 2

One of my most popular patterns is my Baby Hug Boots. They look so cute, and they stay on well !

I have knitted and gifted dozens of them over the past 7 years.

However, one of my friends asked me to help her with knitting Hug Boots. She felt the front was too loose and didn't like the 'gaps' she got. She tried doing the k2tog tighter, but was still not happy. I like the look - but we are all different and there is room for variety!

So, I wrote a new version with an extra stitch for her, which helps pull the centre together, and she loves it! Yay! Happy friend :)
