Free Bootie Pattern

I can't actually take full credit for this pattern.  Several years ago at a church activity, a sister was teaching crochet and she gave out this pattern.  I had a baby with me, so I couldn't sit down and learn it then, but she sent me home with a pattern and her sample booties.  I have since lost the pattern, but by looking at the booties, I have reconstructed it.

Here is is:

Newborn Booties

Make 2:

Ch 8

Row 1: sc in 2^nd ch from hook and sc to end; 3 sc in last ch.  Working in free loops, sc across (15 sc)

Row 2-8: ch 1, turn; sc in each sc in back loop only.

Row9: Ch 3, turn; dc in each sc, join to first dc.

Round 10 & 11: (do not turn) ch 3, dc in each dc around, join to first dc of round

Round 12: ch 1, (dec with sc over two dc) twice, dec with sc over 3 dc, (dec with sc over two dc) twice.  (use hidden type for better visual appeal).  FO leaving long end.  Weave end through sc of last round and hide end.

Ties: ch 50, FO.  Weave into top of bootie leaving room to tie a bow over ankle.

Alternate flower ties: ch3, dc in first ch, sl st in chain (ch 2, dc in first ch, sl st in chain) twice.  Continue on with 50 ch.  Before cutting off, weave chain through bootie.  (ch 2, dc in first ch, sl st in chain) three times in 3^rd chain from hook.  FO, weave in ends.
