Baby booties free crochet pattern

Free crochet pattern for baby booties

My sister's friend is expecting a baby and so my sis has been experimenting with crochet booties. She came upon this crochet booties pattern and worked it out in white first and then tried adding some pink for a baby girl. You could also use blue instead of pink if it's a baby boy you are crocheting the booties for. Or if you do not know whether it is going to be a baby boy or a baby girl you could stick to a neutral colour like pastel yellow, purple or green.
