New crochet pattern : Dancing poppies baby booties
As I had JUST finished working on the added sizes of the Dancing poppies baby Bolero, a fellow french crocheter suggested I design a pair of matching baby booties…
Well I did have an unpublished design of baby booties which could easily be adapted to fit the bill so I got to work…
& many many versions later (!!)…. Here is the pattern for the Dancing poppies baby booties !! I’m always amazed at how much work can go in such a small and seemingly “easy” design.
The booties are worked in the round (top down) in one piece and use small amounts of worsted weight yarn : for the raspberry sample I used the same Cascade wool 220 as for the Dancing poppies Bolero to make a cute set which would make a perfect gift for a baby girl..
This patterns comes in 3 sizes from newborn to 6 months.
For this pair, I used 2 colors of icelandic Lett Lopi yarn… Using 2 colors definitively changes the look: I love the cute contrasting color soles !! (Instructions are given in pattern for this version)
You’ll find the pattern for the Dancing poppies baby booties on Ravelry, Etsy @ SylvChezPlum or FrenchStyleCrochet, and Craftsy.
This pattern is also available as a SET : the BOLERO + BOOTIES patterns for $8. (I’ll try and add this as an ebook on Ravelry)
Thanks again to Confituralamure both for the idea and the super cute pictures ! :-)
