Crochet baby shoes are adorable, sure, but they’re also great for those last-minute baby shower gifts. If you find yourself constantly rushing right up until the baby shower, try working ahead and stitching some of these crochet baby shoes ahead of time. Once the shower rolls around, you’ll have an entire collection of shoes to choose from — and you won’t be sweating any deadlines.
Plus, all of these baby shoe patterns are free, so you won’t even have to touch your bank account!
I suggest stitching all of these free baby shoe patterns with cotton, since it’s durable and easy for parents to wash. Get ahead on baby shower gifts, and take advantage of your stash while you’re at it!

This pattern is available in five sizes, so it’s perfect for those “oops I didn’t finish in time” gifts that are a little late. Plus the booties are gender-neutral, so you can stitch several pairs and have them hanging around for the next new arrival.

These adorable slip-ons are just as cute plain as they are embellished with flowers and other appliqué. The striped version is great for using up even the smallest scraps in your baby yarn stash.

The ties on these booties keep baby’s feet from slipping out when kicking. Save those scraps, because they’ll come in handy for even the smallest yardages like the bootie ties.

These booties would be perfect for a spring baby, but they’d look cute any time of year. The bunny’s facial features are embroidered, so it’s totally safe for baby. The designer also suggests adding a pom-pom tail for extra cuteness.

You don’t need any special skills to make these roar-worthy booties and mittens. The pads on the bottom of the booties and palms of the mittens are created using felt and glue. If you have sewing skills, you can also sew the felt to the booties for more security.

According to the designer, this pattern works up so fast that you can stitch them in the morning and finish them in time for an afternoon baby shower. If you don’t have blue yarn on hand, it might be fun to go for a non-traditional hippo color. Check out your stash for inspiration!
