| Baby shoes free crochet pattern |
My cousin's daughter is expecting a baby and she has asked me to make 4 different baby booties and baby shoes for her new grandchild-to-be. I've been scouring the Net for a pattern but either they were too small or I had to buy the pattern or I simply did not like the crochet baby shoes patterns. So finally looking at a picture, I managed to work this out and wrote it as I went along. It did not turn out exactly like the baby shoes that I tried to imitate but I came up with my own pattern for baby shoes in the end. I hope you like it. I have provided the crochet baby shoes instructions below.

each of next 7 ch. In next and last ch, make 7 tr. Working on the other side of the chains, work 1 tr in each of
