A tiny pattern for tiny feet – these adorable crochet booties make a great last-minute gift for a new arrival. As they won’t take long to make you can easily wait till you find out if it’s a girl or a boy, and still have a timely gift for the newborn!

Finished with pretty satin ribbon they look like one of those gorgeous items destined for the keepsake box, to be looked at in wonder in years to come.

These cute booties have been designed by the makers at US crochet magazine Crochet Today, where you can find other great free crochet patterns using Coats yarns.

Please note: because this pattern originated in the States the pattern features Coats yarns only available overseas, but you can have a smiliar effect by substituting the yarns as follows...

For a UK yarn substitute you could try the luxury yarns Gedifra Highland Alpaca (tension 8x10) or Rowan Big Wool (tension 7.5-9x10-12.5). However, since you are substituting yarn of a slightly different tension to the original pattern, it is essential you do a gauge swatch before you begin.
