Baby Booties: Sweet Colorful

These booties make a precious baby shower, newborn gift or keepsake ornament. The pattern retells a classic Mary Jane, clearly written with the new, or anxious knitter in mind.

This is a joy to knit as tiny booties emerge from your needles. The simple crochet straps, tiny buttons, and edging transform a sock into baby chic fashion.

Your dear friends will never forget the love and blessings knit into them.

I am excited to see your booties here on Ravelry with every combination of color imaginable. Perhaps you will add your own embellishments: teeny pompoms, flowers, French knots, picot cuffs, whatever your whimsy.

Enjoy, and Happy Knitting.
