2 pairs of baby shoes (1 failed)

[TtJoy]

As I mentioned on my practicing post earlier, I was making a pair of baby shoes for an 1 yr old baby girl.

 

Here's the result! 

 

Both patterns were found on the internet and came in a smaller size than I needed.

 

So, on the first attempt (boots with pink flower) , I tried to just add stitches while I go,(I have no idea why it seemed possible at the time) and... they ended up in different sizes, which I have NO idea where did the mistake happened... 

 

The second pattern (little sandals)came in 2 sizes, but even the bigger one is still too small, but I managed to find out the rules in the design by comparing those 2, rewrite the pattern for the size I need and they turned out fine!

 

So this story tells me, lazy=fail! (At least until I get really good at crocheting )

 

Oh btw, I'm not crazy about yellow, just that when I bought the yarn on-line, I made a stupid mistake and ended up with 20 balls of yellow yarn instead of 5 different colors, 4 balls each. So I will be making a lot of yellow stuff in the future. lol

They are so cute.  Sometimes it only takes changing the hook size, to change the size.  You did  a good job, love the sandals.

Great job on the baby shoes!    And maybe yellow will become your new favorite color!

About yellow, I do think they're growing on me

They are so cute. You did a great job. I have a hard time trying to make a pair of potholders turn ot the same size.

I think your booties are very cute.

Ah- the age old dread of crochet; count the stitches on every round. It's tedious and boring but so well worth it.

The yellow yarn: Oops! That would be an eye opener with that much yellow. If you contact the online yarn shop, most will refund or exchange colors or brands.

Keep up the good work.
