Santa Baby Boots: Free Crochet Pattern

Christmas is coming - craft faster!!  Is that still a meme?  If not, it's still accurate!  

Have you ever had the feeling as a Christmas Handmaker that you're going to just run out of time?  I have that feeling every single, blasted year!!




Oh well, it'll get done one way or another!  It always does!!  







If you follow me on social media you will likely have seen the lovely photo's of these boots as I was preparing to deliver them to my consignment store, Little Treasures Kids Store in Selwyn, Ontario.

The social media post was a hit and these baby boots turned out to be a very popular item both at the store and with my regular clients who have purchased several pairs!!  I love my clients, they are awesome!!! 💖

So, while I was filling the orders, I figured I'd jot down the pattern and then add some beautiful, festive photo's for all my readers to enjoy!!  Like this one . . .
