Baby Loafer Pattern Needs A New Name!

For as much as I love Target, sometimes I feel like my kids are wearing the exact same things as everyone else. Don't you see that..."Oooh, I love those shoes, I've got them in green. Target, right?" It's the same for shirts, skirts, sundresses, bathing suits, toys. So, I decided to buck the trend and knit some loafers for my kids to wear around the house, out to dinner, to friend's places, to church, where ever! I came up with these loafers but I'm having a hard time figuring out the perfect name...any ideas? I just keep calling them Baby Loafers but that has no personality!  Comment below with your ideas and the winner gets the pattern for free!

Great Grandma once knitted me a....

FYI: I am always up for a challenge.  I was at a friends house the other day and she commented how she loved the Cutest Baby Loafers I made as shower gifts - "I'll have to remember those for the next baby," she says.  "BTW", she continues, "my great grandma knitted me and my cousins slippers when we were babies but no one know how to make them anymore.  Do you think you could figure out the pattern and make some for my daughter and nieces?"  My eyes lit up, my head began to swim with visions of knitting greatness and I replied, "Absolutely!"...before I had even seen the slippers.  Luckily for me, great grandma was a fan of simple knits.  The challenge was met, a new pattern written and now GG's Cozy Knit Baby Booties are available for you!
