I was thinking about the baby booties last night. The one I'd been working on was coming out nicely, but it was big and thick and warm-looking, and this baby is being born in the spring. I realized that it would probably be a better idea to make something the baby could wear in the spring and summer.
I started looking for patterns, and I came up with one for "Fake Mary Janes." I couldn't resist!
I whipped this one up pretty quickly, though it took me a little while to get the hang of it. The pattern calls for an I hook, but I had to use a K hook, and the sole still came out to only 3 inches (the pattern says the sole should be 3.5"). I am a fairly tight crocheter, and I guess the designer crochets more loosely than most? I don't know what's "normal," or if there is any such thing. ;) Anyway, I am sure the second Mary Jane will be even easier to make. :)
This is Caron Simply Soft yarn; can't remember the color name, but it's more purple than it looks in this picture.

I love that! I have a pattern that I found online that is for a pair of Mary Janes in women's sizes. It's on my neverending to-do-list. You may have inspired me to do it sooner than later.
