What perfect timing! First, my neighbor just had her new baby girl & is bringing her home tomorrow... & second, I just bought a few extra skeins of Luscious last weekend cuz they were on sale -- only 99 cents YAY! -- & one of them is Ice! Thank you so much for this cute pattern!
Darling! Now if I could only modify the shearling jacket on the cover of Crochet! magazine (2 issues ago) to fit an infant because these boots are a perfect match!
This pattern for a short sleeved baby sweater may work. You could extend the sleeves and add the fluffy yarn as a border around the sweater and the cuffs. You could find some cute buttons or make matching ties.
