“Bootie-ful” baby booties

 

Here are some more booties I made.  I modified the Elmo  pattern which I shared in my earlier post (https://manjrisplace.wordpress.com/2019/10/27/cute-elmo-baby-booties), and embroidered some flowers all around to make them pretty. What do you think?

Baby things are so cute , and these could’nt be any cuter! What a great way to start baby’s shoe collection 🙂 I am a firm believer that you can never have enough shoes!

Thanks to Olivia from The Hope Honeywho has published the pattern here: http://www.hopefulhoney.com/2015/03/elmo-inspired-baby-booties-crochet.html

 

Tapestry Crochet

I am always on the lookout for new techniques and ideas when it comes to crochet and recently, I came across something called tapestry crochet. This technique will allow you to make the most beautiful and intricate designs – some can look very complex and you might think that they are for very experienced crocheters – but other than multiple colour changes, tapestry crochet is practically the same as normal crochet, using a single crochet as the main stitch, and using several colours of yarn at the same time.  So give it a try!

Here is my first attempt where I wanted to get a feel of the technique – the pattern I made up as I went long.  It’s a little bowl 🙂

Here is a link to some tips which will help you along the way:  https://shop.mybluprint.com/crocheting/article/tapestry-crochet-tips/

Now – I’m off to start my next tapestry crochet project – so stay tuned….
