It’s the perfect combination; baby blanket and matching shoes!
This is a wonderful project that uses the variegated colors of Caron Cakes yarn to create a beautiful self-striping effect! If you ever wanted to crochet a baby blanket and then wondered what could you crochet along with it to make a matching set of some kind, here’s your answer! Best of all it takes just one skein of the Caron Cakes yarn for both the booties and the blanket!
This combo would make such a thoughtful handmade baby shower gift. It’s also a great choice if you make your crafts to sell. This one seems to be destined to be a bestseller!
This beautiful pattern is also free! It’s by designer Sarah of Repeat Crafter Me. These irresistibly cute booties are sized for babies 0-6 months old. You’ll get the full written pattern plus the details on the recommended Caron Cakes yarn — available exclusively at Michaels Stores — to complete the project.
