There’s nothing quite as sweet as tiny little baby feet! So, if you would like to learn how to crochet a pair of easy baby shoes, carry on reading!

A VIDEO tutorial is also included… just scroll down to view it.

These crochet baby shoes are SO easy to work up and can easily be made in one evening.

I decided to add a teddy bear applique and mini pompom on to my baby shoes. But this step is optional… they look equally as cute just on their own.

CROCHET BABY SET

I designed these easy crochet baby shoes as part of a set.

The patterns for The Little Logan Romper , bear rattle, pixie bonnet and matching baby blanket are all offered for free on the Maisie and Ruth blog, and they all come with video tutorials too.

I think this little set would be a lovely gift for a new arrival or upcoming baby shower 😍

YARN

I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 to make my baby shoes.

Although advertised as a #1 superfine yarn, I consider it to be more of a #2 sport / 4 ply yarn.

This 100% cotton yarn is so soft to work with and has great stitch definition. There’s also no splitting so it’s really easy to work with.

To embroider the nose and eyes, I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8, which is a thicker yarn and is more akin to a #4 worsted / aran weight yarn.

LEVEL

Easy – (see details of project levels at the Craft Yarn Council).

SUPPLIES
  • Yarn for shoes: Category #2 (fine) / sport / 4 ply yarn. I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4,186yds / 1.75oz (170m / 50g) in the following colour:

1 skein of:

Colour A: Baby Blue (032) or Antique Rose (061)

  • Yarn for teddy bear applique: Category #2 (fine) / sport / 4 ply yarn. I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4,186yds / 1.75oz (170m / 50g) in the following colours:

1 skein each of:

Colour B: Beige (004)

Colour C: White (001)

  • Yarn for the eyes and nose: I used a small amount from 1 skein of Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/8, 82yds/ 1.8oz (75m /50g) in the following colour:

Colour D: Black (009)

  • Crochet Hook: E (3.5mm) for the shoes; 3mm for the teddy bear applique
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors
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) approx.

FINISHED SIZE

NEWBORN:

Length – 3″ (8cm) approx.

STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US CROCHET TERMS)

beg – beginning

ch(s) – chain(s)

dc – double crochet: 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, pull through remaining 2 loops. 1 double crochet completed.

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.

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.

sk – skip: Do not crochet into this stitch / space.

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 within one stitch or space, or as many times as directed.

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

SPECIAL STITCHES

BPdc – back post double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook from back to front to back around the post of the next stitch, yo, pull up a loop, 3 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull up a loop and pull through 2 loops on hook, 2 loops remaining on hook. Yo, pull up a loop and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook. 1 BPdc completed.

EXdc– Extended double crochet: Yarn over (yo), insert hook into st or sp, pull up a loop, 3 loops on hook, yo, pull through 1 loop (3 loops remain on hook), yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain on hook), yo, pull through both loops. I EXdc made.

PATTERN NOTES
  • These notes are for the shoes only (not the teddy bear applique).
  • The bootie is made in rounds.
  • The ch1 and ch3 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 ch3).
  • As the ch1 or ch3 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 ch3 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.
PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS
BABY SHOES

SOLE

Using Colour A

Ch13

Round 1. 1dc in 4th ch from the hook (skipped 3 chs do not count as a st), 1dc in next 8 chs, 6dc in last ch, working up the other side of the ch, 1dc in next 8 ch, 5dc in last ch, sl st to 1st dc to join [28 sts].

Round 2. Ch3 (does not count as a st here and throughout), 2dc in same st, 1dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in next 6 sts, 1dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in next 5 sts, sl st to 1st dc to join [40 sts].

UPPER HALF OF BOOTIE

Round 3. Ch3, BPdc in next 40 sts, sl st to 1st BPdc to join, [40 sts].

SHAPE THE TOE

Round 4. Ch1 (does not count as a st here and throughout), 1sc in same st, 1sc in next 9 sts, (dc2tog) 6 times, 1sc in next 18 sts, sl st to 1st sc to join [34 sts].

Round 5. Ch1, 1sc in same st, 1sc in next 9 sts, (dc2tog) 3 times, 1sc in next 18 sts, sl st to 1st sc to join [31 sts].

Round 6. Ch1, 1sc in same st, 1sc in next 30 sts, sl st to 1st sc to join or make an invisible join.

If you made a sl st at the end of this round, cut your yarn, fasten off and weave in your ends.

At the end of round 6, instead of making a slip stitch to the 1st sc to join, I made an invisible join.

Joining your work in this way will ensure a neat and tidy look to your finished piece.

TEDDY BEAR APPLIQUE
HEAD

Using Colour B

Make a magic circle.

Round 1. Ch4 (counts as your first st), 14 EXdc in the circle, sl st to top of beg ch4 to join [15 sts].

Round 2. Ch1 (counts as your first st), 1sc in next 3 sts, sl st in next st, (4dc, sl st) in next st, sl st in next 3 sts, (sl st, 4dc) in next st, sl st in next st, 1sc in next 4 sts, sl st to beg ch1 to join, [23 sts].

SNOUT

Using Colour C

Make a magic circle.

Round 1. Ch1 (does not count as your first st), 8sc in the circle, sl st to 1st sc to join or make an invisible join

FINISHING
  1. Sew the snout to the bottom centre of the head.
  2. With Colour D, embroider the nose onto the snout.
  3. Using Colour D, embroider the eyes just above the snout, on either side of the nose (make sure that they are tightly secured at the back of the head so they cannot be pulled out from the front).
