These shoes were crocheted in between the bulk of orders i have to deliver before Christmas. My friends who like the red riding hood bolero expected theirs be made just in time for the holiday season. And since yours truly is not a full time crocheter, i have to do these boleros in between bus & mrt rides, office breaks, before sleeping, just after i woke up and every free time i could ever muster.

This is the first shoes i made. For my niece, Andrei Karla Dazo. The sole of the shoes are made from red soft cotton yarn (4 ply) using 2.10mm hook. The foundation stitch consists of 15 chains. And around are alternating single and treble crochet with (3 stitches for each corner to make the oval shape). Resulting to a spiked sole common to snow boots. I used red mohair yarn for the body of the shoes. Just single crochet around shaping the body. The shoe laces are made using two yarns – red and pink soft cotton yarn. Yarns are bought from indonesia.

The second shoes are green moccasins for mike’s niece, baby Aeisha Isabelle Defensor. The body of the shoes are made using tape yarn bought from Dreams at Glorietta 5. The stitches are just single stitches (from the back loop) and shaped to form the body of the shoes. I used green mohair yarn for the ‘flaps’ around the ankle. And two green buttons to accentuate. Coz mike thinks these shoes look like frog, so the buttons are there to serve as their eyes.

The third shoes are for my friend Peach’s new born child. Its a yellow ballet shoes. Or doll shoes. Or, i don’t actually know what to call it as i crocheted these shoes from just trying out and i did not actually know how these shoes will turn out. I just know when i finish them

Peach likes yellow and so i decided that i use my yellow yarns from baguio. (She has my yellow soft cotton yarn already so i have no yellow yarns left except from my baguio yarns) The whole shoes are crocheted using single crochet. I accentuated the shoes with dragonfly metal findings.

And i still have another pair  to make for the newly born baby of my colleague and father-like friend surly. His baby is a ‘he’ so this will be another challenge for me. (will post pictures when done.) (update. here’s the link for surly’s baby’s shoes.)

All together now.
