booties for the babies

Nowadays our family is rejoycing as our niece is expecting a baby after two decades of marriage.The couples' joy is unimaginable.
As her gynaec adviced her to rest more,we all were in dilemma for her,as how would she kill her time and at that time I remembered one of my friends from South Africa told me how they were practising an early childhood education, thinking ofgoing a step ahead,I thought of keeping my niece busy by doing some interesting exercises related to babies.
So apart from her reading some religious books I handed her a book of Japnese puzzle "sudoku",but that was not enough as she had still an ample of time.So after remembering my time whenI had conceived my son and howIhad made a wardrobe of baby clothes. I gave my niece a ball of wool and knitting needles.I wanted her to knit booties,but for thatI had to recollect the method.So I started knitting...this is how I started.
After knitting a rectangle of 5"to 6" X 3" which would cover the legpart of the baby,I divided the next coming line in to three..I started knitting the center part up to some 2"which would cover the foot part and then by lifting both the side lines or sections, I knitted a couple of lines more for the sides and the base...and Oh my God..It turned out to be a cute little bootie.And of course it would be cool exercise for the mom to be.
