Knot Hard to Do Baby Booties Pattern,

A Crochet Bucket List Project

This baby booties pattern made it to my bucket-list for only a few hours – before my sister mentioned how much she loved  it too –  so since baby Savannah is already one-month old I needed to hook these up quickly!

The pattern is very easy to follow – the instructions are clear and precise and Salena provides photographs to show how each round should look after it has been completed.

I found these photographs extremely helpful – as initially, I struggled to interpret how to work the slip stitch and ch-1 (or 2) stitches into the pattern.

I don’t often work with ss or ch-1 at the end/beginning of rounds so this was a little confusing for me at first – but once I realized I needed to count them (the ss and beginning ch1 or ch2) as stitches, yet skip over them when I ss at the end of each round, I was able to get the stitches in the rounds to add-up and the pattern to centre properly at the front of the booties.
