A family member just gave birth to twin baby boys so I crocheted baby shoes. They are sized to about 12 months in size because I wanted to make sure they weren't too small. I figure it is always good to be able to grow into then gifting something too small. I think they turned out really cute and by the fourth shoe, I really had the pattern worked out well and memorized! They work up rather quickly and I was able to use up yarn on hand. This is how to crochet baby shoes with a free pattern.
Materials:
- 2 different colors of yarn (4ply acrylic yarn) similar yarn
