Preemie Lace Bootie

I did it! Check out the preemie sized (on right) lace bootie to match the Lace Baby Beenie. I used the same 4-ply worsted weight yarn and size 5 dpns as the 3-6 month size (on left). The bottom edges look a little rough because I haven't seamed them up yet. For anyone interested, I'm happy to share the pattern for both.
