Crochet baby sandals
I have searched high and low for some soft baby sandals in the shops but the only ones I can find are made from hard material! Why would you put hard sandals on a 5 month old baby I dont know but there you go.
Anyway, I decided to make my own! Very easy and quick to make and due to the high ankle strap, they actually stay on!!!
(look how cute his little toes look!)

scraps of dk wool(no idea how much I used, I found a massive tangle of it in the knitting bag and used that!)
