There is nothing more adorable than a newborn baby with handmade booties covering her tiny little toes. Crocheted baby booties make excellent gifts for baby. If you want to learn how to do some basic crochet stitches. Then I think classes or personal lessons with an experienced person are most helpful in learning the basics. You can also download a free crochet pattern from free-crochet.com and experience the excitement of creating a beautiful, handmade item. You just need to gather your favorite yarns and select seasonal crochet patterns and other crochet patterns to stitch for your baby. Browse through the pictures and patterns until you find one you like. But here are some basic tips which will help you in making booties: 1) Too large is better than too small.2) Use Velcro or tie closures to keep the size adjustable as baby grows.3) Pompoms are a bad idea for all but the smallest newborns, since baby loves to grab and pull.4) For babies that are walking, use some fabric paint on the bottom to create a non-slip tread.
