Neopolitan Booties
Pattern: "Angora Baby Booties" from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, by Joelle Hoverson
Yarn: GGH soft-kid mohair color # C73 (pink, doubled); Takki Jolie French Angora/Merino Wool (white); Frog Tree 100% brushed Suri (brown, doubled).
Gauge: 6 spi (I think).
Needles: size 4 (white)/3(pink)/2 1/2 (brown) Crystal Palace dpns; Cast off with needle 2 sizes larger.
Mods: I tried doing a magic cast-on with these to avoid the ridge created by double-knitting, but with something so tiny, working on circs was a bit ridiculous. The only change I ended up making was to the cuffs: the pattern calls for a lot of k1p1-turn stuff, which I found unnecessary, so I just picked up the requisite number of stitches and the knitted the cuff normally.
