Slouch Boots - 2-3 years

This picture shows the slouch a little better. 

I am not quite finished with these, I am planning on adding a strap to the front with a button. Just haven't had time to buy them yet. The idea for them actually came to me one night when I was trying to sleep. If you want to see the look I was going for the closest picture I could find was this one http://pinterest.com/pin/189995678001399383/. I wish I had of done the sole a different colour now. Maybe on the next pair.

Please do not sell my patterns or say they are your own. You are free to do whatever you want with the finished item. If you are selling them online please link back the pattern and give me credit.
