Baby boy crochet sneakers and football amigurumi toy

Here I am, back on completing the baby projects for the american side of my family!!

After taking care of the baby girl present with baby ballerina and a matching bunny amigurumi I had to think of a cool present idea for the baby boy from the other side of the family...

...I had some tips from my mother-in-law, who told me that the parents of the baby are big football fans and the main color of the college they both went to is maroon...

So I started looking around, until I found this lovely pattern from Cathyren on Esty, which you can find at the following link!

I simply loved it and thought it was perfect for my gift idea!

So I bought some maroon rowan cotton yarn and started following the pattern!



The pattern has an unusual way of working out the booties, but it is very easy to follow and I was quite happy with the results.

If you're thinking of a baby boy present idea, I think this could be a cute set to start from!

Hope you like them!

Love

Baby booties “converse style”… on their way to Brazil!!

Happy evening everyone!

I am so excited in these days!!!! My Brazilian friend Marcelo and his wife Luisa just had a baby!!!! Welcome to the world Joaquim!!!

Given that  for the moment I still can’t make it to Brazil to hold him and give him a proper welcoming, I thought I could at least send him a little present…and so I did!!


I’ve prepared these baby converse following HandMadeByNatalija's pattern….all crocheted in cotton, worked with two yarns at the same time, in order to give them a thicker and more stable look!!



I had actually seen several patterns of converse on-line…and it’s been quite difficult to choose…but I personally really enjoyed realizing Natalija’s pattern!



They’ll be hopefully on a plane to Brazil soon…. Can’t wait to see them on Joaquim in a few months… 

Hope you like them and share with me your comments!




Good night!
