Blogger and knitter Whistle and Ivy creatively designed these little flip-flops to fit the incredibly tiny feet of newborn infants. While crochet is typically seen as a material and design pattern often featured in winter clothing items, Whistle and Ivy makes [crochet fun for summer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-collection) by using it to create [tiny baby shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-girl-and-croc). These infant flip-flops are made with fun pastel colors like pink, purple and blue.
