My First Booties by Cream Of The Crop Crochet
These adorable baby booties by Cream Of The Crop Crochet are designed with a newborn baby girl in mind. The cute little bow on the string adds a nice touch for the baby girls.
With that said, the simple stitch pattern is also perfect for baby boys. Simply omit the little bow, or use another applique that is more suitable for the boys if you like.
The booties are nice and cozy, making them great for the cold winters to keep the tiny feet nice and cozy. They are the perfect companion for this crochet teddy bear amigurumi, this baby hat or this lovey.
