These are the first set of booties that I knitted. I made them for the son of one of our friends. I made him little giraffes from the yarn and pattern that came with this: Baby Knits Kit: Instructions and Tools for 20 Snuggly Projects
I then knitted little ears and embroidered the eyes and nostrils using embroidery thread. The tie and the name on the heel was done with Lion Brand Chenille. I cut out little circles of tan felt and stitched them on randomly to make the spots.

It is the sleeping bird blanket from Lucinda Guy's 
which is the most wonderful book of children's handknit patterns.
