Made these in one evening! Definitely make the crochet version of the shoelaces. They look more authentic than i-cord version and are much more quick to turn out. Paired this with the Magic Coffee Baby Hat for a quick and CUTE baby shower gift. The parents-to-be are big Mizzou fans so I had to put aside my feelings on the subject (ahem…ROCK CHALK!) and just deal with it! (but I still refuse to give an “Miz” for this color combo. The baby is due Nov. 2 so I made 2-9 month size so as to fit throughout the football season and into Basketball hopefully:)
