Crocheted Baby Booties

Fits Size: Well, it depends on the baby! These have fit anywhere from 6 mo. to a year. See note in materials for different sizes.

Gauge: 2 dc rows = 1" and 4 dc sts = 1"

Materials: Worsted weight yarn, hook needed to obtain gauge (F?). NOTE: I often use sport or fingering yarn with an appropriately sized hook to make preemie and newborn booties.

Rnd 1: Ch 12 . Dc in third ch from hook THROUGH BACK LOOP (counts as a st when you count at the end of a row throughout pattern). Dc in next 8 sts THROUGH BACK LOOP. 4 dc in next st. This allows you to turn and work in the other side of the stitches. What was the front loop becomes the back loop. Dc in next 8 sts THROUGH THE BACK LOOPS. 2 dc in last st. Join with sl st. [24 sts]

Rnd 2: Ch 2. Dc in bottom of ch 2 space. 2 dc in next st. Dc in next 8 sts. 2 dc in each of the next 4 sts. Dc in next 8 sts. 2 dc in each of the last 2 sts. Join with a sl st. Ch 2. [32 sts]

Rnd 3: Dc in each st around in the back loops. Join. Ch 2.

Rnd 4: Dc in next 11 sts. Dc 2 tog 4 times. Dc in next 12 sts. Join. Ch 2. [28 sts]

Rnd 5: Dc in next 3 sts. Dc 2 tog around until last 4 sts. Dc in the last 4 sts. Join. Ch 2.

Rnd 6: Dc in each st around. Join. Ch 2. [18 sts]

Rnd 7: Dc in bottom of ch 2 space. (1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st) around. Dc in last st. Join. Finish off.

Thread ribbon through rnd 6 of bootie. Or ch 65 for tie, leaving 1 1/2" - 2" tail. Wrap yarn around ruler 30 times, tie middle and make pom-pom. Thread tie through rnd 6 and tie a pom-pom to each end of tie.

Variations:

#1: Use two colors for yarn. Alternate colors to make stripes.

#2: Use two colors of yarn, Main Color (MC) and Contrasting Color (CC). Use CC for rnds 1, 2, 7 and for tie and pom-poms. Use MC for all other rnds.

I used a shiny cord for the tie but you can use a crocheted string or a ribbon. Cut a 16" piece for each bootie and weave it in and out of the stitches on the first row of the cuff. Using the sewing needle and coordinating thread, stitch the center of the tie string in place so the baby cannot pull it free from the bootie.
