Super Simple Baby Booties
"Instead of spending lots of money on expensive baby booties, why not just make some? These baby booties are pretty simple and are designed to fit 4-6 month old babies. To make booties for older babies, just make the pattern bigger. Note: These are not intended for babies that can walk. Walking in them will wear them out faster and/or get them dirty."
