These are Cutest Booties by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, supposedly newborn size but they look rather large to me (and I made them smaller than specified).
They took 19g. of Posh Yarn 'Daisy' (80% merino/20% bamboo), and 3g. of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino for the i-cord.

Very sweet and I love the colourway!

I wish I could have seen this pattern when I was a beginning knitter holding my skinny first born whose feet were too long for every pair of bootees that arrived. The midwife couldn't believe that he weighed 9 lbs 2ozs until she stretched him out and measured him. (He grew to be 6 feet 3 inches)

They are sweet, aren't they?
