*** I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern (0-3 month size) available here on my blog! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of this crochet pattern is also available for purchase at the buttons below. The PDF includes the full range of sizes including 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and 6-12 months.
It’s no secret that I love crocheting for the tiniest humans, and when I got my hands on some of WeCrochet’s newest Gloss DK colors, I knew they would be perfect for a baby boy project.
These baby bottoms are worked from the waistband down to the ankle in one piece. Yay for no seaming! This pattern is also the perfect opportunity to learn how to crochet a ribbed band at the end of your work. You can see the full photo tutorial for that here.
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.
These bottoms work up really quickly, with the added bonus of no seaming!
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!
