The pattern (found here) works up quickly and easily and is cute in almost any color. I created this pattern using tan for the soles and a dark brown for the shoes, but I plan to make several other pairs.
I've been waiting for someone I know to have a baby girl so I could try making this pattern for little baby sandals, and finally my friend's sister is expecting a baby girl. I'm excited to see how they fit the baby and see them on her feet.
Instead of making the little sandals in two colors as the pattern suggested, I decided to make the sandals in a soft baby pink. I originally planned to use some cute flower buttons that I had, but I opted for the little crocheted flowers instead because it would be softer on the baby's feet and easier to stitch on.
To personalize these sandals you could easily add cute buttons or crochet stars or other flowers. This was a relatively simple pattern to follow and it only took me about an hour to make them.

One of my new rules for crocheting is that I must use the yarn I currently have before buying any new yarn. Luckily there are a lot of patterns out there for scrap yarn, and I loved the look and the ease of this pattern. Not to mention it’s adaptable for almost any color scheme. Because I was creating a baby blanket for a baby boy, I decided to use all the different shades of blue that I had, and luckily I had enough of each color to make at least 2 rows. I’m looking forward to making this same blanket for a baby girl with pinks and purples.
After creating my first infant fishing hat, my mom requested
that I make one for a baby girl. Using
the same pattern as I did for Ezra’s Fishing Hat, I instead used a white yarn
with pale baby colors mottled throughout the yarn. For the rope, I used a baby blue and for the
lures I used two colors of light pink, baby green, baby yellow, and baby blue.
After browsing lots of
images of adorable babies in tiny fishing hats, I decided to make one for my
new baby cousin. I used a tan colored
yarn for the hat portion and a white for the rope around the brim. I modified the pattern slightly in adding the
rope onto the hat. I created the rope by
making a row of chain stitches a little longer than the diameter of the
hat. Then I weaved in the chain stitch
around the hat so that it could be tightened or loosened as desired. For the fishing lures, I cut 2 inch pieces of
yarn in red, yellow, and green. I tied
these small pieces into one of the half double crochet stitches and then I
pulled apart the threads of the yarn. I
then cut the lures to the size that I desired.
I made my first baby blanket in the shape of a star with some yarn I had left over from several other creations (baby blue, white, yellow, and green). I unintentionally followed the pattern incorrectly and it ended up being more of a starfish rather than a star. I lost the pattern long ago, but it was a very simple pattern involving single crochet and counting stitches (similar pattern here).
