These baby boat shoes are perfect for a baby boy or girl. I originally wrote the pattern as a boy’s shoe pattern, (there needs to be more boys stuff!) but if you make them in aqua or coral, they are girly and cute, too.

Attach to shoe with yarn needle and the tail. Start about 2 sts above the strap, and go in and out with your needle, all around the toe and over to the other side. Make sure to secure the end very well.

To finish, using white yarn and a yarn needle, sew down through the hole in the left strap. Leave enough yarn to tie a bow. Continue around the shoe, just under the top loops, and sew around the shoe. Finish by going up and out through the right loop. Trim yarn if needed.
