Southern moms know better than to get in a rush and start packing away warm baby clothing and booties at the first hint of spring. February can be a tricky weather month, either warm as toast or icy and cold; you just never know.
On chilly days, I like to dress our cutie pie in the cuffed elf style crochet baby booties that I made before Christmas (sorry about the lack of visible detail in the photo but they are so CUTE) in holly green. They are so festive for the holidays and just cozy and WARM for the months that follow.
And since it's too cold to go outside today; I think that I will go and get my hook and some yarn and try my hand at a free pattern for crochet baby booties with cuffs to see if I can make a pair for a friend who is expecting a baby boy. Her shower is this weekend on Super Bowl Sunday and yes..that is just two days away.
One of the perks of crocheted baby gifts is that they work up fast unless you are making something large like a blanket or a complete layette which would be too advanced for a beginner like myself. Decorating and sharing baby nursery ideas is still my passion but I'm realizing the benefits of learning to crochet. There are so many adorable, free crochet patterns that I want to try and keeping my hands busy helps me to avoid snacking and cabin fever.
For now, I'm sticking with easy crochet baby hat patterns, crocheted headbands and my favorite, booties!
