that seems almost impossible. The designer's first language is clearly not English and the translation is very bad, so you have to translate the translation. "Pick up loop" instead of cast on, etc. No needle size, no yarn weight. It's really terrible!

The pattern includes full-page pictures of each step, so I think I will be able to follow those, but I certainly don't want to print them out, because there are more than 30 pages! If they weren't so darn cute, I think I'd just forget the whole thing. They are high top sneaker-looking booties, and my grandchild-to-be MUST have pairs of these in many different colors!

I made the mistake of not reading the comments before I purchased the patter.
