Ask any new mom: one of the most exciting things about having a newborn is being able to buy all the miniature sized clothing items, including shoes! They are just so darn cute. However, it can sometimes present a challenge because you don't always want to spend an arm on a leg on something that he or she is just going to outgrow in a few months, anyway.
 

A common solution for crafty moms to save money is to crochet your own baby booties. Inside Cozy Toes for Baby by Chantal Garceau and Mary J. King, you will find some of the cutest homemade shoes ever. Choose from seven different crochet and felted patterns that are just as adorable as they are practical.
 

The crochet shoes inside this pattern book are great because each design includes five different sizing options, which is ideal for growing babies. Plus, they are felted to provide additional shape and sturdiness, and the leather soles add durability. Choose from the following five patterns: Fresh Watermelon, Froggy, Ladybug, Ollie Owl, Panda Bear, Silly Monkey, and Sparkly Dog.
 

If the cute crochet patterns aren't incentive enough to buy this book, then maybe this will help: all proceeds from this book are donated to the Imani Project to help children in Kenya orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
