Simply Adorable Crochet Baby Booties

Just before Christmas I had an order for a pair of baby booties to be made from a concept photo only.  Baby booties are always so much fun to make and design, especially when they turn out simply adorable!




These adorable baby booties, designed in a neutral colour palette, will be perfect for your next baby shower . . . or your own next baby (nope, not a baby announcement!!  That stage of my life has passed!).  


Prefer colour to your baby booties?  Get creative!!!  And please don't forget to show me your beautiful creations on Instagram using the hashtag #redmittendesigns








This pattern will exercise (or possibly even expand) your crochet knowledge as it uses a large variety of "basic" to "intermediate" crochet stitches.

If you are looking for something a little more "beginner" (or possibly "advanced") please check out the great selection at allfreecrochet.com!

Below is the FREE pattern for the 0-3mon size bootie.   The paid version of the pattern also contains sizes 0-3 (3-6, 6-9, 9-12) month!
