I have been meaning to rework my Baby Crochet Moccasins for a while now. In fact, this is the second time I have reworked them (the original post is here). I just couldn’t get it right. They fall flat on Facebook and Pinterest and I knew they needed some sort of fix. I inquired about how to make them better in my Facebook group (and in my newsletter) and I got a lot of really great suggestions. If you gave me some ideas, thank you very much! Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. Quite frankly, these Oka Crochet Moccasins turned out compelely different than the original, but hopefully they will be something that you will swoon over ;) 

Aren’t those little tassels just adorable? Using embroidery floss was a stroke of genius that hit me last night while I was falling asleep. They turned out perfect, and really gives these crochet moccasins a classic look. 

Also, I updated my basic baby shoe soles for the last time ( hopefully!). I’ve made a few tweaks over the years but I think this last fix has finally perfecting the design to my liking. It fixes the weird bump on the bottom of the heel and it also puts the seam directly up the back of the shoe instead of on the side. I won’t be updated the older posts (at least not in the immediate future) but any new baby shoe designs from here on out will have this new sole design.
I also updated the sizing. Newborn was a highly requested size, and there wasn’t a huge difference between the middle sizes, so you will see the new sizing in the crochet moccasin pattern below .

Crochet Moccasin Construction:

To add the flap to the baby moccasin, pin the round top of the flap to the round toe. Thread a length of the yarn on your darning needle and sew the flap in place, using a running stitch. The top of the flap will fold down. Finish by sewing loosely in and out across the top. Attach tassels to the stitching, or tie a bow with the ends. 

You can tie the yarn in front, but the tassel really give these crochet moccasins the perfect finishing touch, don’t you think?
