Baby Sneakers Worked Flat
"Making sneakers has always been a challenge for me. So I thought of a way around it and I came up with this pattern. Am so excited about it. It's a break through for me. It works up easy and fast and it's suitable for both genders. It takes about 90 minutes to complete a pair. It can be made as a last minute gift.
