YARN USED

These chunky crochet baby booties were worked up using James C. Brett Flutterby Chunky, a wonderfully soft and cosy chenille yarn.

I loved using this brand – so much so that I designed a hooded cardigan, and a baby teddy hat using this super soft yarn!

There’s also a matching baby blanket to go with the set (made with the super chunky version).

I’m sure you’ll enjoy working with this yarn just as much as I did. And I’m sure you’ll love the colour selection on offer also… the variety of pastel shades is simply gorgeous.

Chunky Crochet Baby Booties with matching items

These baby booties are part of a set consisting of a hooded cardigan, hat and blanket.

Let’s dive in now and take a look at how we can work up these adorable chunky baby booties…

CHUNKY CROCHET BABY BOOTIES: A FREE PATTERN

This post for chunky crochet baby booties may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my links, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure for more information.

Please carefully read all the information below.

LEVEL

Easy. For details of project levels, please see the Craft Yarn Council.

MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Category #5 / chunky / bulky / 12 ply yarn. I used some scrap yarn from 1 ball of James C. Brett Flutterby Chunky, 191 yds / 3.5 oz (175m / 100g). Colours featured in the photos: Blue (3); pink (2); lilac (10); beige (28); yellow (9)
  • Crochet hook: J (6mm) (these hooks are great for this type of yarn)
  • Yarn needle (the bent tip makes sewing and weaving in ends much easier)
  • Scissors (super sharp… and pretty)
GAUGE / TENSION

To check your gauge / tension, work the first two rounds of the pattern below.

To check that you’re okay for size, the length of your sole (which is also the completed length of your baby bootie) should measure as follows:

Newborn: 3” (8cm)

0–3 months: 3.5″ (9cm)

3-6 months: 4″ (10cm)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

beg – beginning

ch(s) – chain(s)

dc2tog – double crochet two together (also known as a dc decrease): Yarn over (yo), insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook). Yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up a loop (4 loops on hook). Yo, pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook). Yo, pull through remaining 3 loops. Dc2tog completed.

fasten off – To fasten off securely, work one chain, then cut the yarn leaving a 5 – 6” tail. Pull the tail through the loop that is on your hook. Tighten gently.

hdc – half double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yo, pull through all 3 loops. 1 half double crochet completed.

hdc2tog – half double crochet two together (also known as a hdc decrease): Yarn over (yo), insert hook into stitch, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on hook). Yo, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up a loop (5 loops on hook). Yo, pull through all 5 loops. Hdc2tog completed.

sc – single crochet: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over (yo), pull up a loop (2 loops on hook). Yo, pull through both loops on hook. 1 single crochet completed.

sc2tog – single crochet two together: Insert your hook into stitch, yarn over (yo) pull up a loop (2 loops on your hook). Insert your hook into the following stitch, yo, pull up a loop (3 loops on your hook). Yarn over, pull through all 3 loops. One sc2tog complete.

sl st – slip stitch: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over (yo), pull up a loop, you will have 2 loops on your hook. Pull the first loop through the second loop. 1 slip stitch completed.

st(s) – stitch(es)

( ) – Sets of stitches to be worked as many times as directed.

* to * – Repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed.

[ ] – The total number of stitches at the end of a row.

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terminology used throughout.
  • There are instructions for three sizes – newborn, 0-3 months and 3-6 months.
  • The bootie is made in rounds.
  • The ch1 at the beginning of each round does not count as a stitch. Therefore, you should make the first stitch of the round in the same stitch (at the base of the ch1).
  • As the ch1 at the beginning of rounds does not count as a stitch, you should join the round by making a slip stitch into the very first stitch of the round.
  • When counting the total number of stitches at the end of each round, please be careful not to include the ch1 in the final stitch count.
  • For beginners, it will be helpful to place a stitch marker in the first stitch made at the beginning of each round to ensure that you slip stitch into this particular stitch when joining at the end of the round.

    I just made the booties while in the hospital awaiting the arrival of my new grandson! I’d love to make the hat with the ear flaps, and the hoodie. Where can I get the pattern? Thanks for the great video tutorial. You are very good teacher! Love hearing your accent!

      I’m so glad that you enjoyed the booties pattern! I’ve just released the hoodie pattern: https://maisieandruth.com/crochet-baby-hoodie-with-ears-free-pattern/ I’m working on the hat pattern and video tutorial now, and I’m hoping to release it over the holidays. Thanks so much for your interest and I hope you enjoy working up the additional items for your new Grandson… many congratulations! 💝

    Love love love this pattern, will you be making patterns for bigger sizes? 3-6 and 6-9 would be fabulous. I am nowhere near clever enough to size up without a pattern. I have just found your patterns on YouTube and I don’t know where to start! 😀
