How to Crochet Baby Booties

You'll Need

80g of blue yarn, 20g of white yarn Nako (100% wool, 220m/100g);

Crochet hook 3;

Needle;

4 buttons;

Thread.

Instructions

Start making the booties from chain stitches. Make 8 chain stitches + 2 chain stitches increase, making the sole in rows. It will consist of 8 rows with double crochets.

When your sole is finished, make single crochets around, you should get 48 single crochets (8 crochets from the up and bottom parts, 16 crochets from each side, if you make 2 single crochets through one back of double crochet). At this stage, your sole is ready, but don't cut the yarn, as you need to make 2 rows with single crochets through the inner half-loop, your sole will start to form the bootie.

The relief ledge gives form to the bootie and decorates it. The length of the ready-made sole is 8 cm, width - 4.5 cm.

Upper Part

Up to this moment, you used white yarn; now you can fasten it and cut. Attach blue yarn from the heel side. Make a row with single crochets. Start decreasing stitches from the 2nd to 5th rows and then start decreasing stitches on the toe of the bootie.

In the 2nd row, count 16 central stitches on the toe and crochet according to the following scheme: 2 half crochets, 2 double crochets, 8 double crochets, 2 double crochets, 2 half crochets. There are 12 stitches left on the toe.

In the 3rd row, make 2 half crochets, 8 double crochets, and 2 half crochets.

In the 4th row: 1 half crochet, 1 double crochet, 6 double crochets, 1 double crochet, 1 half crochet.

In the 5th row: 1 half crochet, 6 double crochets, 1 half crochet.

Crochet the heel without changes with single crochets in these rows.

Make the last 6th row with single crochets.

Scheme of Decreasing Stitches on the Toe

Make the next row with single crochets, coming to the center of the front part, make 2 more single crochets and then make 12 chain stitches.

Leave 3 stitches for increase and start crocheting with double crochets, starting with the 4th chain stitch. This will be the 1st row of the bootie top; make 42 double crochets to correspond with the 3 unused stitches in the previous row.

Return, making the second row of double crochets. Don't crochet 3 stitches to the end of the row, make a stitch for the button, then make 1 chain stitch and skip 1 stitch. Finish the row with 2 double crochets.

The third and fourth rows will be made similarly to the first and second. Also, make a loop in the 4th row.

Make single crochets in the 5th row; if you want, you can change them to double crochets, and then your bootie will be higher. Pay attention to the odd number of rows in the top of the bootie.

Scheme of Making Ridges

Crocheting is simple and the pattern repeat is 4 stitches: 1 single crochet, skip 1 stitch, 5 double crochets in 1 stitch, skip 1 stitch, 1 single crochet, continue to the end of the row.

As a result, you should get 11 ridges.

Sew 2 buttons.

Make the second bootie.
