I love making items for babies. People love receiving the items I make. win-win situation
I came across this pattern several years ago and then forgot about it. It grabbed my attention again.
Intermediate level. Crocheted Soccasins by Megan Mills. http://megan.cc/Soccasins/
It's written with UK terms. All the dc's are US single crochet. Calls for wool yarn though I'm not sure what weight.(double knitting) I plan on playing and figuring that out.
Another cutie: http://megan.cc/BooteeDaisy/
Also, made with wool, guessing a fingering weight. She has the pattern available with US terminolgy.
The PRR babies will have warmer tootsies and the parents will hopefully like my gifts.
Please add your fave baby and kids crochet patterns.

Easy Booties . They take no time at all to make and utilize a similar technique we learned doing short row heels.
They requested the booties be colorful and I had no problem doing that. It's a good thing too, since I had no baby yarns.

It is soooo much cuter than in the pictures. The stitch pattern is fantastic!! I made a scarf with a similar pattern last year, but this one works so much better. It turns out totally square with no warpage! It's awesome! I can see it being used for so many more things than a motif-type baby blanket. I wanted to share it with you here right when I saw it! Plus it's a free pattern!
