Baby Slippers or Booties

I have had fun crocheting lots of little booties lately. I found a lovely pattern by Mamachee on Ravelry.

It is called Galilee Slippers. 

These little beauties can be worked in all colours of the rainbow and in different sizes too. 

I just love colour so have made them in different colours.

Slippers can also be worked in plain colours

Premmie booties are tiny with a shell edging

Pixie booties are finished with crocodile stitch

Crocodile stitch is a complicated stitch to learn. Try this You Tube video to help you. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it.

Variety in Crochet

Crochet is incredibly varied.

There are few stitches - 

• chain, 
• single crochet, 
• double crochet, 
• half double crochet and 
• treble crochet (all US terms), 

and yet with these, an incredible number of different patterns can be formed. 

From something simple, to something more complex,
