Caspian's Boots




Oh so cute! A little pair of felted boots for little baby feet! 

Please excuse the somewhat blurry photos, it is rather difficult to capture wildly kicking feet.

These crocheted up very quickly, about an hour, and then took a couple of goes through the machine to felt up nicely. 

They're still a tad large, but should fit well by the time the cold weather sets in.

As you can see by his outfit though, the temperatures did drop considerably overnight! A welcome relief from a week of hot 30's. And rain! Oh the rain was very welcome too. 

Pattern: Simple Felted Kids Slippers by Sarah Lora

Wool: Bendigo Rustic 10ply in Cinder Fleck

Mods: I added 5 rounds of HDC to each cuff to fashion them into boots.

Have a wonderful week!
