Knitted Baby Booties
I knitted these baby booties for my cousin, Lissa. I got the pattern from Stitch 'n Bitch Nation
The pattern called for loops at the ends of the straps and buttons for closure on the sides, but buttons pose such a safety risk for the little ones. I wouldn't want the buttons to come loose from kicking and suddenly become a choking hazard for the little infant. So I just crocheted the straps to the booties on both sides and sewed flowers onto the straps for accents.
Here's Lissa looking really happy to receive these handknit baby booties!
