The pattern is written to be knitted in loops, but you can also knit with double pointed needles, in which case divide the stitches from needle A onto needles 1 and 2 and the stitches from needle B onto needles 3 and 4. The booties have a curved thumb rise. The pattern uses an Italian cast-on, but you can create the stitches however you like. The pattern has 2 different options for the rib.
