Y’all! It’s time for Free Pattern Friday! When I tell you I had this last minute idea for the actual cutest pair of baby booties…I ain’t lyin!
Here’s the thing about baby booties…I don’t love making them a whole lot. Which, sounds insane coming from the crochet sock king…ya know?
Anyway, I started working up Baby booties a few weeks ago and couldn’t stop! They are just SO fun and SO easy to make. All you need is a handful of yarn, a crochet hook, and about 20 minutes from start to finish!
Easy Peasy…Puddin’ Pie
Baby booties are literally the perfect beginner crochet project. They take about 10 minutes, use up the tiniest bit of yarn, and (in most cases) use just basic stitches.
The Draper Baby Booties use single, half double, and double crochet stitches to shape them for the littlest of little feets!
Two for the Price of One!
You’ll notice in the photos I’ve given two different options for these booties! Little baby blue and cream stripes AND all over brown. Now, of course, you can make these any colors you want but I thought these were just the cutest little combos.
If you want to make a solid pair, simply follow the pattern below but omit the color changes!
Sound good?
