If she used a very bulky yarn and got more stitches to the inch, instead of the sport weight they call for, would that increase the size enough?

She could then just follow the instructions as given.

Lucille

You wouldn't even need really bulky yarn, just increasing to a worsted wieght and larger needles should work. Sport weight doubled is bulky, so using worsted should get something about twice the size as the original.

Wow, great idea! I'd never thought of that! Thanks sooo much, both to Lucille and you, Suzeeq!

Happy New Year. An important note to add is that it should read LESS stitches to the inch and not more.

And that was written before I had the sip of wine for New Years Eve. lol

I've made the baby ones, but the ones I did have an adult version. It's only available on Ravelry, though, but Ravelry is free. The pattern is 'Grown-Up Chucks Hi Top Sneaker Booties' and costs $6 for a pdf.

Hope that helps

I just went and looked and apparently it's no longer available.

I just reread what I wrote, and I mistyped (or my brain was somewhere else...). Sport weight doubled is worsted, is what I meant to say, so the worsted with the right size needles on the same stitches would be about twice the size as the little ones with sport yarn.

Hadn't even noticed that! LOL

Better than my coworker who posted on Facebook Happy 2012! ROTFL!!!!
