Crochet Tutorial: Whale-y Awesome Baby Booties

Crochet Tutorial: Whale-y Awesome Baby Booties

Whale, Whale, Whale, what do we have here??!

Recently, a catalog arrived in my mailbox with a unique selection of gift items for all ages. In typical fashion, I often find myself thinking about how to make similar items using crochet.

I fell in love with these darling booties that were similarly made out of fabric and set out to create a crochet pair designed only using yarn!

We all derive inspiration from various sources, but it isn’t always possible to recreate each design substituting yarn as fiber of choice but thankfully, this adorable pair of booties turned out to be quite the exception!

I hope you enjoy making your very own for a special infant. I give tips for increasing the sizing for any age in the video tutorial.



Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make these booties:
