Whip up these super cute 50 min easy crochet baby booties!
Super cute and worked in the round so there is no awkward wandering seam running up the back.
Simple and sweet, makes a great gift. Booties measure approx. 3 3/4″ in length and 3″ in height.

Thank you so much this is a wonderful quick project. I’m fairly new at crochet and this was easy to understand and worked out great.
You’re welcome Debbie! I’m glad you enjoyed making them!
I’m finding it very hard to follow along. Do the slip stitches and ch2 count as stitches? Not sure where the 9sc comes from in step 2 and I am lost after that! They look so cute, I was so excited to make them!
Sorry for the confusion. I just worked it up again and updated the pattern. I also included the ending row number to make it easier to understand. It should read better now 🙂
I’m going to try these patterns tomorrow. You say medium worsted weight yarn, can you give me some idea what size yarn that is please. Is it DK yarn or bigger especially for the hat as J hook seems very big.
Thank you
Yes, a size 4 weight, a little heavier/thicker than DK yarn. The size J hook works up quickly. If you would like to use a smaller hook you can use a size H hook and start the hat by dc 10 into the magic circle instead of 8 and following the pattern. Hope this helps.
I just made my 1st bootie for m y great grandson due in July!!!! It was awesome!! Thanks so much this could b habit forming!!! ☺
Wonderful and congratulations!
Hello. I was hoping you could tell me about the chain 2 then sc in round 2. I’m fairly new to crochet so I’m confused that a sc follows a chain 2 instruction. I would like to make sure I’m reading it right. Thanks 😊👍
Hi! Rows 1-4 are for the sole of the bootie and use the ch2. After row 4 you work in the round for the rest of the bootie. Hope this helps!
Hi I am new to trying booties this was a pretty easy pattern to follow. Thank you for that. However if I wanted to make the booties bigger say for a 3-6 month old would I use a bigger hook and can you give me guidance on how to do that. Thank you for your time
Hi! If you go up a hook size they will turn out a little larger. I think going up 1 hook size and following the pattern as usual will give you the fit for a 3-6m size.
I would love to make these booties – and also the hat. Do you have a pattern in UK sts??
I’m sorry, I do not have the pattern written in UK terms. That is something I will consider doing in the future.
Hi could I use dk and how much yarn do I need
Thank you
Yes you can, you may need to go up a hook size as it’s thinner than medium worsted weight yarn. Less than a skein, about 1-1.5 oz. It doesn’t take much yarn to make them 🙂
Hi Laura,
The first instruction is to chain 10, however, the next line of instruction would require 11 or have I got that wrong?
Hi, I have the same question as asked above. Row 1, chain ten , sc in second, sc in next 8, then sc 5 in last?
Sorry, I just fixed the typo…it’s ch 10, sc in second, sc next 7 sts, then 5 sc in the end st. Should make sense now! Thanks!
Thank you 🌹
I’m sorry, but I still don’t get the first row….I’ve pulled it and started over numerous times and I still have two chains left after the 7 sc. Then 5 sc in last stitch? Do you skip a chain?
Hi, you sc in the second ch from the hook and the next 7 sts for a total of 8 sts, then sc 5 into the next st (last st at the end) then you work your way back down the other side of the chains (sc the next 8 sts). Hope this helps!
I just can’t get it. I follow the instructions exactly but keep on having extra stitches even though I’m counting them after every row I finish. Very frustrated.
I am trying the booties. I am a little confused on row 1. I get the first couple of stitches but what does it mean down the other side 8 sc so st
Hi, you are just working your way down the other side of the foundation chain. Hope this helps!
