Dual Color Baby Booties

This is my another knitting pattern for baby booties. It will creates a very attractive garter stitch texture. I knitted these baby booties with double-yarn. This pattern calls for two skeins of yarn (pink & white), use a strand of each skein at the same time and you have to treat these two strands as if they were a single strand while knitting. It is very easy and fast to get it done.
