STYLISH SHOES FOR BABY!

If you’re in need of a quick, last minute present for a baby shower, then these super cute baby booties would make an ideal gift!

They’re great stash busters, are really quick to work up and are a pretty easy design also.

I decided to make and attach a little crochet bow to my baby shoes. However I think they would look equally as adorable with a small flower sewn on too!

You can also have fun making these booties in different colours if you’re not a big fan of the pastel shades that I opted for.

ADORABLE BABY SET

And if you have a little bit of extra time, you might like to turn your hand to making these crochet bow baby booties along with the other items from the set (see image below).

There’s a stylish baby dress, sweet little bonnet, cute headband and a gorgeous baby blanket that you can make for expecting parent(s).

CROCHET BOW BABY BOOTIES: A FREE PATTERN

Please carefully read all the information below.

LEVEL

Project Level is Easy

“Projects may include simple stitch patterns, color work, and/or shaping”.

Source: Craft Yarn Council of America’s www.YarnStandards.com

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terminology used throughout.
  • You can use any #3 / DK / 8 ply yarn for this project, provided that you meet the gauge / tension below.
  • There is one set of instructions for sizes newborn, 0-3 months & 3-6 months.
  • And another set of instructions for sizes 6-9 months and 9-12 months.
  • Use the hook size according to the size of bootie that you wish to make (details below in ‘Materials’).
  • The bootie is made in rounds.
  • The instructions are the same for both the left and the right shoe (rounds 1-8) apart from when making the strap in round 9.
  • The ch1 and ch2 at the beginning of each round do 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 or ch2).
  • As the ch1 or ch2 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 dc or sc 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 or ch2 in the final stitch count.
  • For beginners, it will be helpful to place a stitch marker in the first dc or sc 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.
  • If you would like to make a bigger bow for your bootie, please use a bigger crochet hook. If you would like to make a smaller bow, please use a smaller hook.
MATERIALS
  • Yarn: Category #3 / light worsted / DK / 8 ply yarn. For all sizes, I used Sirdar Snuggly Soothing, 241 yds / 3.5 oz (220m / 100g) in two colours:

Colour A (for the bootie): 1 x ball (I used less than 2 oz. / 50 g from 1 ball)

Colour B (for the edging and bow): 1 x ball (I used only a scrap amount from 1 ball)

  • Crochet hook: Newborn 3mm; 0–3 months E (3.5mm); 3–6 months & 6-9 months G (4mm); 9-12 months size 7 (4.5mm)
  • Yarn needle (the bent tip makes sewing and weaving in ends much easier)
  • Scissors (super sharp… and pretty)
  • (Optional) 1 x stitch marker (these interlocking ones will not fall out!)
GAUGE / TENSION

To check your gauge / tension, work the first three rounds of the relevant 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 (3mm hook): 3” (8cm)
0–3 months (E / 3.5mm hook): 3.5″ (9cm)
3–6 months (G / 4mm hook): 4″ (10cm)
6-9 months (G / 4mm hook): 4.5″ (11cm)
9-12 months (Size 7 / 4.5mm hook): 4.75″ (12cm)

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

BBO – back bump only: Insert your hook into the back bump of the next stitch (the back bump sits directly behind the back loop of the stitch; please see the video tutorial if you require further assistance).

BLO – back loop only: Insert your hook and work the stitch into the back loop only.

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. 

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.

    Hi what does BBO mean?

    • Amanda says

      26 August 2022 at 11:17 am

      Hi Carrie, BBO is the abbreviation for back bump only. I’ve updated the ‘Stitches & Abbreviations’ section with more information on this now – thank you! Working into the back bump makes the front post double crochet stitches more pronounced, however if you find it a little tricky to work into the back bump, you can work into the back loop of the next stitch instead.

      I hope you enjoy working up these little booties! 💝
