Sweet Booties for Ella

Well, Friends, there is another fresh baby

at church and I'm so glad I had a pair

of booties stashed away, because

teaching school hasn't left any 

time to create new ones.

I try to make up several pairs

when I am having a 

unusually slow time.

And my stash is just about

GONE.

Here are the sweet booties:

Pattern:  White Shells

Book information.

Hook:  Size 7

Caryn's Bonnet

I made this sweet bonnet

for my 1st great niece Caryn
and for a very good friend's baby.

It is the same bonnet I made for Ava, tweaked.

I wish the pictures had turned out better.
The pink variegated was so bright.

It was a beautiful contrast with the white.

Again, that book is:

The Complete Guide to Thread Crochet

designs by Terry Kimbrough

Leisure Arts #3225

As the title indicates,
this book has more than
just baby crochet.

It also has 2 nice sweater patterns,
one of which I'm working on, in beige.
It also has a doily pattern,
bookmark patterns, and more.

Mukluks Improvised

For these booties,

I got a wild hair and

went off on a 

creative tangent.

I used the basic bootie pattern for the sole

and worked my way up from there.

When I got to the finishing top edge,

I wanted it to pull the black and white 

from the bootie together.

So I figured out how to

alternate the colors

and I LOVE it!

Probably not a very exciting move for those who have

been experimenting with color for a long time,

but I'm new to branching out

in this area, and

it's exciting to me!

Plus, I didn't just stick to a standard

pattern I had, but implemented some

of my own ideas and changes.

That's just FUN!!!

CROCHET STYLE!!!

Little Boy Blue

These handsome Delft booties are

made from the pattern:

Little Loafers

I love the buttoned flap accent!

These, as are all the booties I make, are for

a baby 0-3 months old.

They are made with a size 7 (1.65mm) hook

using size 10 crochet thread,

Aunt Lydia's - Delft and White.

The pattern is from the Leisure Arts book #3243

Booties by the Dozen

with designs by Kay Meadors

Cutie Booties!

I crocheted these flag design booties for our nieces.

His niece had a boy:

Her niece had a girl:

And it's doubly appropriate that their

booties match because...

THEY HAD THE BABIES ON THE SAME DAY!!!

I made these booties following the pattern:  Two-Tone
in the Leisure Arts Bootie Collection book #3052,
with designs by Kay Meadors.



The patterns called for a size 7 (1.65mm) hook and
size 10 crochet thread, which is my favorite medium.

I do also like the thinner threads like size 20 and 30,
but not for baby apparel.  These sizes are
great with doilies primarily.
