There is almost nothing better than sweet little babies, except maybe for their sweet baby feet! I love creating baby things, and when I saw this gorgeous tweed yarn, I instantly thought baby shoes!
These moccasins are gender neutral, sized for 0-3 months and are worked as one piece, so there is no sewing required! They are a great scrap-busting project and make a great baby shower gift! The yarn I used is Wool of the Andes Tweed, which is a wool/tweed blend from WeCrochet / Knit Picks. The colorway that I used is called Sarsaparilla Heather.
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.
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!
