Beaded Baby Booties with Crochet Thread Part 2


Beaded Crochet Baby Booties with Crochet Thread Part 2

For Part 1 go to link below:

In Oct. of 2012 I listed some tips on beading baby booties. With the tips you can bead anything.

                       Beaded Crochet Baby Booties with Crochet Thread
 
                       Crochet Tip with free sole pattern
 Here I'm going to share with you that the patterns that you see for the beaded baby booties can be found in crochet books at Wal mart and Jo anns. You just need to add the beads first before you start crocheting.
You can buy a book at Wal Mart for less then $5.00. By the way the books come with about 8 patterns or more I think with all types of booties including the one that looks like what you see pictured.
But I made my patterns up where you don't need to cut the thread you just keep working the bootie.
You can, also buy the bow flower already done from the store. I make my own, it takes time to do this.  
Here you can see some that I have made from the patterns that where made by me, just click the link above to see the pictures.

 Here is a link to see the tips on beading:
