I was SO happy to find these cute little pacifier buttons in my craft room. I bought them YEARS ago, and have been saving them for the perfect project.

Just love those buttons. They're sooooooo cute!!! and btw the crochet lite hook is my new best friend It is really less strain on my thumb. I will have to buy more!!!!

I'm addicted to the Crochet Lite hooks. I use them constantly! Aren't they great?

I finished the Bernat Crochet Baby Booties. I love this pattern. I have made a lot of them but this pattern is the easiest I have ever done. I finally used my 19 year old buttons. I think they work very well.

Your booties look wonderful!
and the buttons look like they were custom made for the yarn and design.

To both Lialab & Shandeh, your comments on the crochet lite hook caught my attention, I hold my hook like a pencil, so my question is would that hook work for me, as I also have thumb strain (not often but sometimes)?
I watched the videos (well done ) and made most of one bootie, will post pics when I'm done.

I'm glad my videos helped!
The handle on the Crochet Lite hooks is larger than average crochet hooks, so you don't have to squeeze as tight to hold it. It really does help with pain issues.

I have been teaching myself to crochet and have managed to make a baby blanket for my new granddaughter due in November. I wanted to make some booties to match and am so glad I found this pattern and the video instruction to go along. I am sure I am going to be asking lots of questions, so, here is your warning.... THE NOVICE IS COMING! Tee hee.

The project looks fun, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

Congratulations on learning to crochet!
If you had the patience to make a blanket, I KNOW you can handle these booties.
