Bow Front Crochet Baby Sandals

Aren't these super cute? I was looking online for a baby sandal pattern but I could not find one that I liked enough. So I made my own! I have never written a complete pattern before but these turned out perfect (and cute too)! Below is the free pattern* and tutorial in size 0-3 months. Length of finished shoe is 3.25". Will fit a foot up to 3". Please leave a comment if you made these or see any errors!


Making these for a boy? Then just follow the pattern here and instead of doing the bow at the end, head over to Playin' Loopy with my Hooky for a modification (thanks Angie)!
