Crochet Bootie




Dawn’s Crochet Bootie

My inspiration for this pattern comes from Loving Hugs pattern 1 Piece Newborn Booties Pattern, I wanted a pattern less holey, so I made some changes to the pattern. Warning to anyone who tries to make these I'm not a pattern writer so there maybe mistakes. I just wrote this down as a guideline for other's on my charity crafting group. I am always changing patterns to work for me, so feel free to make changes so it works for you!!
