the bootie and sew the backseam as well. Or use a bind off that
doubles as a seam:

Final row and bind off: k19, fold bootie in half, RS together.
Use a crochet cast off or a three
needle bind off starting at the tip of the toe. When done cut a
long tail and use it to sew the back
seam. Turn right side out.
Run an 18" length of " ribbon through eyelets or make a twisted
cord: Take a piece of yarn
about 4 feet long and tie the two ends together with a slipknot.
Holding the knot between your
fingers hook the yarn over your big toe, the finger of a willing
friend, or a similar post. Holding the
yarn relatively taut, roll the knot between thumb and forefinger
until it begins to twist on itself.
Holding the knot firmly, take the other end of the yarn from
your toe and bring the folded end and
the knotted end together. Smooth the cord with your finger to
make it twine evenly. Tie a slipknot
on each end. You may trim the ends with scissors to make them
more uniform and attractive
(like mini-tassels).
