Bow Front Crochet Baby Sandals
Aren't these super cute? I was looking online for a baby sandal
pattern but I could not find one that I liked enough. So I made my
own! I have never written a complete pattern before but these
turned out perfect (and cute too)! Below is the free pattern* a nd
tutorial in size 0-3 months. Length of finished shoe is 3.25". Will fit
a foot up to 3". Please leave a comment if you made these or see
any errors!
Making these for a boy? Then just follow the pattern here and
instead of doing the bow at the end, head over to Playin' Loopy
with my Hooky for a modification (thanks Angie)!
Worsted Weight yarn- I used I Love This Cotton
Size F hook
2 buttons
*EDIT: to make these a little bigger, use stitch count in
parenthesis. I have not made them in the larger size personally but
the numbers should work. Please let me know if they do not work.
