Allegheny Baby Boots – Free Crochet Pattern

*** I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:

I’m very proud of where I’m from, a tiny little town in the Laurel Highlands region of Pennsylvania, part of the Allegheny Mountains. So when I was trying to think of a name for these cute little booties, I thought this was the perfect time to pay tribute to this area that I love!

The Allegheny Baby Boots are sized for 0-3 months. I used the fabulous and versatile Brava Worsted Yarn by WeCrochet / Knit Picks. It is a premium acrylic yarn, and is super soft! I used the “Dublin” colorway for the soles and laces of the boots, and “Dove Heather” for the body of the boots.

Don’t forget to save this pattern in your favorites and add it to your project queue to save it for later! View this pattern on Ravelry here.

This pattern is a really good scrap buster and works up really quickly. I only used a total of just over 50 yards for the pair!

I’d love to see what you make with this tutorial! Don’t forget to share a photo of your finished work in your Ravelry projects and my Facebook group!
