Happy babies shake their best dress-up booties! With sweet little lacy cuffs, these are the perfect dressy accessory.

These look complicated, but don’t worry –each bootie is knit in one piece and the instep section uses simple intarsia to create the “sock inside the shoe” effect. The booties have an inside ribbed cuff that helps them stay snugly on busy baby feet and there is minimal seaming and finishing required.

Mary Jane Booties make perfect new baby, shower, birthday, or holiday gifts.
