When we were getting ready to welcome my first granddaughter into the world, I wanted to make something special for her baby shower – something handmade, sentimental, and just a little bit over the top. I came across the idea for these crochet baby bootie centerpieces (I wish I knew who first dreamed them up!) and absolutely had to try them. They turned out to be such a sweet touch, and everyone at the shower loved them.
It doesn’t take much to pull these together – here’s what you’ll need to create these:

Pattern Used:
Use a crochet bootie pattern that has a cuff – I chose a ribbed cuff like this one:
Crochet Cuffed Baby Bootie Pattern
Supplies Needed:
Baby Yarn
Clover Amour Crochet Hooks
Finishing Needles
Floral Foam
Utility Knife
Baby’s Breath (I used fresh)
Directions:
- Crochet the baby booties.
- Cut a square of floral foam to fit into the foot hole of the bootie and insert it – the square should sit in the heel of the bootie
- Cut a sprig of baby’s breath and stick it in the foam
Seriously, that simple. These little booties got so much attention at the shower and are a great idea for little fill ins around a shower. Originally I wanted to put a pair at each table but I got so busy that I couldn’t finish them on time so we placed one pair on the food table and one on the cake table.
I’d love to see these in blue – if you make them please let me know in the comments below or tag me in them on instagram @hookandpaperco
