Double Button Loafers – Free Crochet Pattern

Double Button Loafers - Free Crochet Pattern

I really love making baby booties.  We don’t even have any girls in the house (except me, of course!) and I find myself making cute little girl things.  Maybe one day I can give them to some granddaughters.  Several of my friends have had baby girls and I always love making booties, blankets and dresses for them.  I really wanted to put up another baby bootie pattern on the site so I designed these little Double Button Loafers.

For a while I was on a baby bootie kick and designed a bunch in a row.  I tend to do that – stick with one type of project for a while before moving on.  Anyone else have that problem?  The good thing is that I’ve been designing long enough to have a variety of patterns on the site.  My next thing I plan to crochet binge is sweaters and cardigans.  I recently cleared out my closet (I mean, I got rid of almost everything!!) after read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up and I’ve never been happier with my clothes.  But now that means adding back things that I love!  I really want some nice sweaters and new cardigans but I am determined that I am going to make them instead of buy them so be on the lookout for new sweater patterns really soon!

You can check out the other free baby patterns that I’ve made by clicking here.

I love to make videos for my patterns and I’m trying to put up new ones as fast as possible but it’s really hard to find peace and quiet to film in a house with four little boys.  But I actually did manage to create a video tutorial for this pattern!  I’m so happy that I was able to put this together.  I’m still hard at work on tutorials for the other patterns on the site (there are more than 70 free patterns on here so it’s taking me a while!)
