Crochet Toddler Strap Shoes

Before we get to the pattern, I want to tell you that this is the first successful pattern that I have written on my own. If there is something that you don't understand, please leave a comment. I searched all over the web for a crochet pattern for toddler shoes. No, these aren't meant to wear outside in the grass or when it is raining. These are more like house slippers or photo prop shoes. I made these to go with an outfit that I am making for my daughter for Christmas. I tried them on her so I know they fit! :)

Toddler Strap Shoes/snow boots.
*These were made to fit my daughter who is 2.5 and in a size 8 shoe. These will fit shoe size 8-9. I will be listing another pattern that is pretty much the same except it will have longer straps and will be longer in the leg part. You may sell the items made with this pattern but please link back to Hooker Love Crafts.
