Oka Crochet Moccasins for Baby – Free Crochet Pattern

February 9, 2018 by Bethany 18 Comments

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 ;)

Simple Newborn Baby Boots

It’s incredible how quickly time flies. We have been in our house for a year now, and Sis will be celebrating her first birthday this month. Although I don’t miss the long nights and crying from exhaustion (and I mean me crying, not the baby), I get a twinge of sadness when I pack away the tiny onesies and nightgowns. These crochet newborn booties were the first things I made her. Our mid-century house is sturdy and strong, but it’s spread out and can get a bit chilly at times. I wanted to make sure she was bundled up and warm, and these boots worked very well.

Happy Thursday!
Lately, I have been working on a few rather large and cumbersome projects. It seems like things always take more energy and time than is expected, which is a bummer.

I needed to take a step back, take a deep breath and work on something a bit lighter and more fun.
I get an email every once in a while from a reader, requesting a specific crochet pattern. I love it! (sidetone: If you have any ideas, shoot them my way, I would love to create designs that you will love!). I got a request to make my Little Dot Mary Janes in two colors.
This Two-Toned Little Dot Mary Janes pattern was just what I needed: a nice, fun break.

Button Gladiator Sandal Booties Update and Video

January 31, 2015 by Bethany 2 Comments

Hello everyone! Who is looking forward to spring? I know I am. The Boy say it’s too cold to play outside (5 minutes after our 10-minute bundling-up routine), and I am growing weary of our yearly valley inversion. So I decided to start reworking some of my spring and summer patterns. Somehow it helps! I finished the video pattern for the Baby Button Gladiator Sandal booties, and have make a few tweaks to the written pattern so make sure to get the most up-to-date version here.

These booties sandals are still my favorite to make and are so cute on little baby feet!
Make sure you are careful with the buttons, they could be a possible choking hazard.

Find the video here.
