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
