Vintage Baby Booties Knitting Pattern

Sweet vintage-style Mary-Jane booties in soft garter stitch, with a little strap and pearl button, or an eyelet cuff with a satin ribbon. They knit up in an evening from one ball of DK, making a perfect baby shower gift.

Each bootie is knitted flat in one piece from the sole up, with a rounded toe, then seamed under the sole.
