Crochet Baby Booties
Materials Needed:
- Acrylic double knitting (DK) yarn, 100% acrylic
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Bootie Pattern:
Starting with the Sole:
- Make a Slip Knot and chain 9.
First Round:
- Half double crochet (HDC) into the third chain from the hook, placing 2 HDCs in this stitch. This skipped chain will count as your first HDC.
- HDC in the next 5 chains.
- In the last chain, place 6 HDCs.
- Now working on the other side of the chain, HDC in the next 5 stitches.
- In the same chain where you started, add 3 HDCs.
- Close off the round with a slip stitch to the second chain.
Building the Upper Part:
Second Round:
- Double crochets (DC) - Chain up 3 (counts as first DC), do 2 DCs in each of the next two stitches (for a total of 6 DCs including the chain up), then 1 DC in the next 5 stitches.
- On the front part, 2 DCs in the next six stitches for a total of twelve.
- Finish the round with a single DC in the next five stitches and close with a slip stitch.
Forming the Toe:
- Work half double crochets (HDC) all around by only going into the back loops; this gives a nice edging.
- Do nine HDCs, then work two HDCs together (decreasing) eight times to form the toe part of the shoe.
- Continue with nine HDCs on the other side and then close the round with a slip stitch.
Finishing Touches:
- Work a row of single crochets (SC) all around the bootie; this separates the cuff from the shoe. You should have 22 SCs.
- Chain up 1 and work six rows of HDCs to form the cuff.
- Cut the yarn, pull through, and weave in the ends securely.
Sizes:
- The provided instructions are for 0-3 months size.
- To adjust sizes, you can use different hook sizes but follow the same pattern. The description indicates that more details on sizes will be provided in the video's description box.
