VERY Quick EASY Baby Bootie Crochet Pattern.

A FREE Crochet Pattern by LisaAuch Crochet

baby- booties- crochet-free crochet booties pattern

These booties are delightfully quick and easy to whip up and can be made to suit boys or girls. I am mostly requested to make these crochet baby booties as a pregnancy reveal order, for grandparents!

or if for a newborn gift I usually just leave the ribbon color until I know for sure what mum has delivered.

I do Love these little shoes 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.

I Just Love them being crocheted in a lovely white Yarn.

The simplicity of the pattern also helps you to be very creative with your finishings.
