Free Slouch Baby Booties Crochet Pattern

Slouch baby booties description

These baby booties look great in all color combos, and the bow detail adds a pretty little touch for a baby girl.

It also has a practical use as you can pull it before tying just like a set of laces. Because of this they can fit the baby’s ankle more securely and have less chance of falling off a tiny wiggly foot.

The cuff folds over and ‘slouches’ over the bootie, hence the name ‘Mini slouch baby booties’ The baby bootie crochet pattern is available in 3 different sizes to suit babies ages from birth to one year old.
