Teeny Tiny Trainers Pattern


Midterms of next week, so I don't have time to do a full tutorial for these but I still wanted to post the pattern for these cuties.

They are size 18-24 months, but you could size them up by adding 1/4 inch to each side seam and the waist of the body front and back to make them 2T. 

The outer is knit and the inner is 2 layers of super heavy organic bamboo fleece (when I use heavy obf, I do 3 layers).There are directions on the pattern which can be found here.
