Newborn Mary Janes - Pattern

After making the little loafers, I wanted to make a girl version. There are a lot of little Mary Janes out there. This pattern is really quick (seven rounds) and the post stitch added just enough detail to pretty it up. It is pretty much the same as the Newborn Loafer but the post stitches are continued up one more round and of course the little strap over the top. I think they are super cute and if you add the ribbon or contrasting yarn color around the bottom it adds even more detail.

Materials:

worsted weight yarn

Hook G – 4.00 mm

Yarn needle
1/4 inch ribbon, if desired

ch – chain

st(s) - stitch(es)
sk - skip

sc – single crochet

sl st – slip stitch

If you want to add the ribbon weave it through the first round of fpdc. The ribbon I used was a little too wide so it folded. It was 3/8 inches, so I would go with a 1/4 inch ribbon. You can also use yarn, but the ribbon is a little dressier.
