K2 tog, K8, K2 tog.

Now K2 tog, repeating across the row.

Measure off about 12” of yarn and cut from the skein. Use the Darning needle to gather up the remaining sts, secure and sew up the front & back seams.

~~The seams will appear on the outside as the cuff is to be turned down; so be as neat as you can. You might try to reverse the side you place the seam on.

Turn down the cuff on the bootie. Knit another one the same.
