One of two pink hand knit baby booties with puff balls on the laces. The pink yarn has a white thread going through it. The top of the bootee is slightly scalloped. The bootee has a piece of yarn the came color as the rest weaving in and out of knitted columns in the bootee to form a lace. The yarn is tied in a bow in the front. This is a part of a corresponding outfit (2005.5.10).
