How to make your booties not slip:
I get this question a lot and have a couple solutions I think work really well:
- Puff paint. Squirt little dots or lines of puff paint on the bottoms. Turn them upside down and let them dry overnight before use.
2. Clear plasti dip spray. This is my preferred method as it works really well and just sprays on. Be sure to do this outdoors. Spray the bottoms and let dry overnight before use.

On the 50 minute booties, I seem to get ridges in approximately the 4 rows following the sole. Am I supposed to hdc in the back loops? I can’t seem to make it look like the picture. Thx.
You would hdc in Backloops only in row 4….That will define the sole of the foot, then do regular hdc in both loops on the rest.
