I just crocheted this Christmas bootie. The other is almost done,
too and I will be sending it to
Mary Ann R., [from Crochet Partners], in California, so she can give
them to one of the babies
in the Neo Natal Intensive Care Unit.
This is my favourite baby bootie pattern. I even know it by heart.
The pattern is from:
Special Moments Baby Layette

I've done the afghan, the dolly afghan, the baby booties, and the bonnet.
Next, perhaps next month, I'll make the dress. It's beautiful
and I like it a lot
because it uses baby fingering weight yarn, not thread. I'm not
a good threadie.

The edging is not the same as in the book. For the edging, I did:
Chain 1, single crochet in the same stitch,
chain 2, single crochet in second chain from hook.
Skip one stitch, and work until the end:
single crochet in next stitch, chain 2,
single crochet in 2nd chain from hook, skip next stitch.
At the end, join with a slip stitch in first single crochet.
I got the leaf from:
101 Crochet Squares

The berry is simply:
With red #10 thread,
Chain 4 and join with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Chain 1 and do 8 single crochets in ring.
Join with a slip stitch in first single crochet,
leaving a long end for sewing.
