Parfait Baby Booties




Baby booties are always fun to crochet! Their small size means they work up quickly, and they're great for learning some new techniques like working on the opposite side of the starting chain, working in the round, and decreasing stitches. These Parfait Baby Booties are super cute. They look a little bit like Uggs, don't they?

We've chosen Premier's Parfait yarn for these cute little booties. Parfait is a super soft chenille yarn that comes in 16 colors and prints. New technology makes this a chenille yarn that will not "coil" or "worm", so you won't be spending tons of time untwisting your yarn. Parfait is a #5 bulky weight yarn, which means you're projects will work up quickly when you choose Parfait.
