CLASSIC DESIGN

These adorable little baby booties with their fold-down cuff will make a cute addition to the wardrobe of any baby boy or girl.

The design is simple and classic, so it’s sure to suit all tastes.

The booties are offered in five different sizes: there is one set of directions for sizes newborn, 0-3 months and 3-6 months. And there is another set of instructions for sizes 6-9 months and 9-12 months.

The hook that you use will be dependent on the size that you wish to make.

BEGINNER FRIENDLY

As these baby booties use only basic crochet stitches, they’re a quick and easy crochet project for you.

They’re certainly suitable for beginners and if you’re a confident crocheter you could easily make them within one hour!

They really do work up super fast and I’m confident that they’ll become your favourite, go-to baby booties pattern when you need a last-minute baby shower gift.

CUTE BABY SET

Since I’ve mentioned the subject of gifts, you might like to know that these fast crochet baby booties are part of a set.

There’s a cardigan, hat and soft and snuggly baby blanket.

if you’re a new mom, or someone who is looking for a present for a new arrival, then this sweet little set would make the perfect gift.

Of course, you don’t need to make all the items… just gifting the baby booties on their own will be sure to have everyone oohing and ahhing at your precious little creation!

YARN USED

For these fast crochet baby booties, I used a premium acrylic yarn that has been specially formulated for babies.

I opted for Deramores Studio Baby Soft DK Acrylic which is a #3 / light-worsted / DK / 8 ply yarn.

This yarn has lots of lovely qualities – it’s anti-pilling, machine-washable and has a very subtle, silky sheen to it – babies will love snuggling their little feet into these ultra-soft baby booties!

Deramores Studio Baby Soft DK has a beautiful palette and is offered in 20 gorgeous colours, ranging from delicate pastel and neutral shades to bright, eye-catching colours.

FAST CROCHET BABY BOOTIES: A FREE PATTERN

This post for fast 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.

SUPPLIES
  • Yarn: Category #3 / light worsted / DK / 8 ply yarn. I used less than 1.75 oz. / 50g approx. from 1 skein / ball of Deramores Studio Baby Soft DK Acrylic, 360 yds / 3.5 oz (330m / 100g).
  • 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) Plastic Baby Shoe Inserts (to help shape your completed baby bootie)
GAUGE / TENSION

To check your gauge / tension, work the first two 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)

beg – beginning

BLdc – back loop only double crochet: Insert your hook into the back loop only of the next stitch and work a double crochet.

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.

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.

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

PATTERN NOTES
  • US crochet terminology used throughout.
  • 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.
  • 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.

    I absolutely love this pattern I have only been crocheting for a few weeks and I posted my first pair on Facebook and within 30 seconds someone messaged me asking how much I wanted for them.

    I am new to crochet. Yours instructions have helped me so much. Could these booties be made in an adult size? Thank you for all your help!

      Welcome to the crochet community! That’s great, I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying my patterns! 😀

      I’m glad you like the booties but I’ve only designed them for babies at the moment.

      I have had quite a few requests for adult boots so this is something I will look at designing in the future 💞

    Do you have a tutorial for adult booties or socks?

    • Amanda says

      4 October 2021 at 9:59 pm

      Unfortunately not – I only have baby shoes at the moment 💞

    Hi thereI am trying to print a free pattern for baby bootees to use as a reminder while I am crocheting. I cannot seem to print this without loosing half the instuctions and I can’t see where it actually says to print on your pattern. I am in my late seventies and not very tech minded but havn’t had this trouble on previous printed patterns. I can watch it on youtube but just need a printed reminder of where I am in pattern. I am quite new to crochet (learned from watching youtube during pandemic). Please help. Can you perhaps just email me a straightforward copy – easy to print. I really would apreciate your help. The pattern is for the fold over cuffs ones. Thank you and I love your videos – so easy to follow.

      Hi Anne,

      I’m so pleased to hear that you like my designs and find the video tutorials easy to follow! 😀

      Unfortunately, I don’t have a PDF pattern for you to print off at the moment.

      I’ve had quite a lot of requests for this so I hope to create printable versions of my patterns and offer them on Etsy and Ravelry etc soon.

      Sorry I can’t help you out for now.

      Amanda
