Easy Vintage Crochet Booties Free Pattern

Are you looking for a quick easy vintage feel Bootie Crochet Pattern. these booties are delightful to whip up and can be made to suit boys or girls, I usually just leave the ribbon color until I know for sure what mum has delivered. I do Love these booties as they are also ideal for a Christening as they keep babys feet cozy and can be tied with the ribbon to make sure they are not kicked off.

The simplicity of the pattern also helps you to be very creative with your finishings. See also our  Free Vintage Style Bonnet Patterns to make a matching set for Baby.
