Make some wee ballet slippers for a baby ballerina!

These are worked all in one with no seaming - started in the round like a toe-up sock, then worked flat. Clever shaping creates the classic ballet slipper shape. Ribbon ties will help them stay on those fast-moving little feet. Ballerina Baby slippers make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts.
