Notes

I did start with 2.5mm needles - but I am a tight knitter and changed to 3.0mm. Was afraid they would fit a doll instead of a newborn.

17 grams yarn used.

I did kf/b instead of kb/f I also did a kf/b instead of make 1.

Easy and fun project - and the new star of the family had to have star buttons on her shoes! :)

Changed the buttons (not baby-friendly with the pointy stars).
