These booties can be made using baby, sport or worsted weight yarn. The finished size depends on the needle and yarn used. If you cannot cast off in ribbing, then take a crochet hook and crochet the stitches off.
Baby and sport yarn with a needle sz 3/4 should yield a bootie w/sole measuring around 2 inches. Worsted and sz 6/7 needle should give you a newborn bootie w/sole measuring around 3 inches.
