Preemie Fashion Booties

"With these cute and fashionable booties any baby can be the most stylish in the NICU. These preemie baby booties were originally designed for a co-worker who wanted crochet Ugg like booties for twin girls her friend was expecting. The babies were born several weeks early (and are now healthy) but being preemies meant the booties needed to be tiny. So I went to work creating a pattern that would be cute and fit their tiny feet."
