Tighten cast on, sew up toe, tuck ends, make 2. To add tread simply add hot glue to the purled rows on the bottom of the bootie.  To make smaller for a baby, follow the pattern up to row 10, then move to row16, follow up to row20 and at row20 knit instead or EW. This should make a smaller bootie for a baby.

    1. I personally don't have a cocoon pattern but here is a link to a video tutorial of someone who does!!! Good Knit Kisses does the pattern. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_YkAuM-6-w
      As for the fall pattern, I just lined my bootie size sample of newborn up with my sons fall bootie, with no stretch they line up perfectly. If you made them like in the video up, Flat knit the crocodile stitch area rather than E-Wrap I think it should fit a newborn, if you want the sole a little smaller just take away a couple of the 2 row patterns. I hope this is helpful!!
