Booties for Baby - Free crochet pattern for Baby Booties (Boy)

Delightfully easy to crochet baby booties, great for a little boy, and these bootees can be made in no time at all. I used thick Double Knit Arran, and a 3.00mm UK hook. And the booties came out lovely and chunky.

This is an easy to remember crochet pattern, which turns out perfect every time .

I found it difficult to source crochet patterns perfect for boys, so I will add this to my collection as great little crochet projects perfect for making for baby coming home

Crochet Toys - Cute Crochet Bunny

Just popping in today to post this photo of a finished crochet Bunny. I am having so much fun just now crocheting toys for the kids.  one of the best things about hand crocheting these little critters is the love the kids show for them, I made a teddy bear at Christmas time, and my little neice who is 4 picked him up from the Xmas Tree and it is now joined to her, where ever she goes "ted" goes too. I am amazed at what this little crocheted toy has been through, it is nearly sucked to death, put through the washing machine time and time again, and its as floppy as a marshmallow, yet you cannot get that Ted away from her. I burst with an overwhelming sense of sheer love and satisfaction that in todays technology filled world we can create these loved toys.
Unfortunately that means the kids put in their orders of what they would like so I am always looking for some gorgeous free crochet toy patterns.

I think you will agree how beautiful and cute this little kawaii amigurumi crochet bunny Rabbit is that I just finished.

The Pattern is really easy to follow and gives good clear instructions on how to add in the eyes and nose. I actually feel that confident I could crochet another bunny without looking at the pattern. 

I stuffed this one with Super soft toy filling, and used buttons to finish and an easy to crochet flower.
