💡 Tips for Perfect Baby Boots

• Keep your tension firm so the boot holds shape.

• Use soft but sturdy yarn—too soft makes the boots sag.

• Make both boots in the same sitting if possible (stitch tension stays consistent).

• You can size up by using a 4.5 mm hook or worsted yarn on the thicker side.
