How to Crochet Baby Booties

There is nothing more adorable than a newborn baby with handmade booties covering her tiny little toes. Crocheted baby booties make excellent gifts for baby showers, baptisms or a baby's homecoming.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Crochet hook
• Yarn
• Internet access

1. Learn how to do some basic crochet stitches. Classes or personal lessons with an experienced person are most helpful in learning the basics.

2. Familiarize yourself with the many abbreviations and symbols used in crochet patterns.

3. Use the Resources section below to find some links to sites with free patterns.

4. Browse through the pictures and patterns until you find one you like.

5. Get out your hook and yarn and start crocheting your baby booties.

Tips & Warnings

• Since the crocheted baby booties will be touching a baby's sensitive skin, make sure you use one of the yarns rated as "Baby Soft."

on 10/23/2008 What a completely useless article. To sum it up:
Step 1: learn how to crochet
Step 2: get a pattern
Step 3: do it

Yeah, that was really helpful...
