At the beginning there is a useful crochet basics section with step-by-step instructions on commonly used crochet stitches, colour changing techniques, joining techniques and basic crochet charts for sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months and 6-9 months.

There are a variety of designs to choose from, including trainers, ballet shoes, pumps, espadrilles, Mary Janes, cowboy boots and strappy sandals and the patterns have step-by-step instructions. The designs are simple enough for competent beginners, though attractive and interesting enough to inspire more advanced crocheters.

This quirky take on crochet baby shoes will appeal to crocheters of all ages and the designs make perfect gifts for the babies of family and friends alike.
