Comments: I did 3 colors of stripes instead of 2, but added a strip of stranded elephants that I found on Google. It took some calculating to get it in the right place on the front

and centered on the back too.

Here's a close up of the elephants.

I wanted some yellow elephant buttons. They were hard to find. I found some antique ones on Ebay.

Comments: I did a little Google search for striped booties and found this. Super easy to make, they're knit flat and seamed together. I did 2 by 2 ribbing instead of garter stitch for the cuff, and I added the pom-pom for extra cuteness.
