Are you someone who is a fan of the classics?
These crochet Mary janes baby shoes are definitely classic. When I set out to design these, I knew I wanted something cute and quick. These crochet baby booties fit the bill. Not only will you love everyone’s “oohs ” and “ahhhs” over how cute they are, you will love that you can crochet a pair in under an hour. Plus, the little dot (flower?) gives an extra bit of contrast to make these little crochet baby shoes extra adorable
You can either make the button functional or decorative, it’s your choice! Either way, be sure to seal the threads with super glue or clear nail polish so there is no risk of the button coming off.
And, due to a Youtube commenter, I also made these crochet baby booties with a little more color pop! Read directions on how to make the bottom sole a different color.

Make sure it is VERY secure, and seal the button’s threads with a dot of super glue or finger nail polish over where they cross on the button. Attach the dot by hand sewing, or attaching with hot glue. If you are using hot glue, but sure your are gluing to the very edge of the dot, as the edges of the small circle may curl up over time.
These crochet Mary Jane shoes are perfect for almost any occasion! Enjoy!

xoxo,
These are wonderful! I have 1 question: what is the difference between Sctog 1 and Sc2tog? I can’t figure it out.
Hm. I think I may have made a typo. About where in the pattern is that? I am not sure, but I might have meant sc2tog 1 time, and missed typing the 2 in the word. I’m sorry for any trouble. Please email me, so I can help you get this worked out! whistleandivy at gmail dot com.
These are so precious! I love the colors too.
Very nice pattern Came out very nice.
Thank you

These are just perfect! So many people have family members and friends affected by this horrible disease…myself included. My little brother was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 5, he is now 27! I will be praying for little Brylee and her family and wish them the best!

I am so glad to hear that about your brother. Thanks so much for your kind words and prayers. Miracles can happen!
Thanks for linking to Take-A-Look Tuesday over at http://www.SugarBeeCrafts.com – you were featured yesterday!

Thanks so much, Mandy!
Wish I knew how to crochet, these are darling! Donated and will download pattern for later use! Thinking of little Brylee and her family.
Ask some of your friends or at church and maybe you can find someone to show you. I just volunteered to teach crochet or knitting one evening at church. I had to review as it has been a long time. I can usually teach people to do both . I make it simple. I bought an inexpensive beginning book to refresh my memory. Some of these patterns are so cute. Church is a great place to look as grandma age women may be able to teach you.
Coming from the Sew Much Ado linky. Too bad I just had a little boy! The shoes are super sweet and so is your cause.
Thanks, Jill!
oh, those things are so scary! Sending love and prayers!
These are so sweet! Love!
These little shoes are so adorable! I hope you’re able to raise lots of money for your friend’s little girl – I can’t begin to imagine what they must be going through!
I’d be thrilled if you’d link up at this week’s Off the Hook!
Those shoes are adorable! Thank you for the pattern. It is stories like this one that make us appreciate all that we have and hold those that we love just a little bit closer. Sending prayers their way.
You are so welcome, I hope you enjoy this pattern! Thanks so much for the prayers, she needs them.
You definately have a very crafty hand…the shoes are adorable. Yes, stories like this always make us hold our dear ones closer. So sad this has to happen to children especially.
Thanks so much. Yes, this whole thing just breaks my heart.
Very sweet Mary Janes…. kinda sad though cuz my DD will be 20 soon. Guess I have grandkids to make such lovely things for— once I learn to knit and crochet !
Honestly, the shoes are ADORABLE, and I love the soft green you made them :)
Happy Easter Coming soon and it’s always great to see creative minds at work. :)
