For this project, you will need the following materials:

Here is a list of abbreviations used in the pattern:

Pay close attention to placement markers. Using stitch markers to track specific sections is vital for symmetry.

As this includes decreases (e.g., DC together), ensure you’re comfortable with this technique.

Gauge: Working up a small swatch will help adjust your tension. Generally, medium-weight cotton yarn works well with a 6 mm hook for baby items.

Approximate Size: These baby shoes measure about 9 cm in sole length. Adjust yarn and hook size for larger or smaller sizes.

DC Together: Wrap yarn, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through (three loops on hook). Yarn over, pull through two loops, repeat for the next stitch, then pull through all loops at the end.

Crochet this project in rounds.

1. Creating the Sole

Work on the right shoe sole first (9 cm).

2. Starting the Body of the Shoe

After completing the sole, do not cut the yarn.

Make two chains, then work 1 DC into each stitch of the sole until you've completed the first round. Slip stitch to close the round.

3. Building the Shoe’s Body

Chain 1 and make 1 SC into each stitch all the way around. Slip stitch to close.

Fold the shoe in half to determine the center. Place markers at 12 stitches on the left and 12 on the right, leaving a total of 24 stitches in the front section.

5. Rounding the Edge

Repeat rounds of DC while working decreases at the toe section (6 DC together, for symmetry).

Finish by slip stitching in the first DC stitch, cutting your thread, and weaving in the ends.

7. Crocheting the Bunny Application

Follow these steps to create the adorable bunny attachment for the shoes:

• Make a slip knot and chain 8.
• Skip one chain, then work 1 SC into each chain, except the last chain.
• In the last chain, work 3 SC in the same space to create a rounded edge.
• Turn and continue working 1 SC into each stitch on the other side. Increase in the last stitch (work 2 SC in the same space). Slip stitch to complete the round.
• Continue crocheting additional rounds:
• Round 2: Work increases in three specific sections (creating the ears and rounded bunny body).
• Round 3: Add shaping details using SLST and SC.
