Yarn:
I used Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick for the body and Feels Like Bliss for the trim. One skein of the Thick & Quick yarn will make at least two sets of booties. The trim used can be any fauz fur yarn and I used very minimal amount for a set -maybe 10 yards.
You can also use any weight 6 bulky yarn to get a similar results. This could be a great looking Christmas boot with red Bernat Blanket yarn as well.

- Newborn sole length: 3.0" (Hook: H)
