Materials:

• Worsted weight yarn in desired color(s)
• Crochet hook size US G/6 (4.0 mm)
• Yarn needle
• Scissors
• Stitch markers (optional but recommended)

Gauge:

• Gauge is not critical for this project.

Abbreviations:

• ch – chain
• sc – single crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• sl st – slip stitch
• inc – increase (2 sc in the same st)

Pattern:

Sole (Make 2):

1. Round 1: Start with a magic ring. Sc 6 into the ring. (6 sts)
2. Round 2: Inc in each st around. (12 sts)
3. Round 3: (Sc in next st, inc) repeat 6 times. (18 sts)
4. Round 4: (Sc in next 2 sts, inc) repeat 6 times. (24 sts)
5. Round 5: Sc in each st around. (24 sts) This size is suitable for a newborn to 3-month-old baby. For a slightly larger sole, add one more round of increases: (Sc in next 3 sts, inc) repeat 6 times (30 sts), followed by a round of sc in each st.
6. Sl st to the first sc of the round. Fasten off.

Upper:

1. Join yarn with a sl st to any stitch on the right side of one of the soles.
2. Round 1: Ch 1, sc in each st around. (24 sts)
3. Round 2: Working in the back loops only, sc in each st around. (24 sts) This creates a ridge that separates the sole from the upper part of the bootie.
4. Round 3: Sc in next 8 sts. Turn. (8 sts)
5. Rows 4-9: Ch 1, sc in each of the 8 sts. Turn. (8 sts) These rows create the front part of the bootie. Adjust the number of rows to make the opening taller or shorter.
6. Round 10: Ch 1, sc in the 8 sts of the front, sc evenly along the side of the front section (about 5 sts), sc in the remaining sts of the round (8 sts), sc evenly along the other side of the front section (about 5 sts). (Approximately 26 sts)
7. Round 11: Sc in each st around. (Approximately 26 sts)

Ankle Cuff:

1. Round 12: Ch 1, hdc in each st around. (Approximately 26 sts)
2. Round 13: Ch 1, hdc in each st around. (Approximately 26 sts) You can add more rounds of hdc or use a different stitch like single crochet for a different cuff look.
3. Sl st to the first hdc of the round. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.

Finishing:

1. Repeat all steps to make the second bootie.
2. Use the yarn needle and the long tail to sew the back seam of the bootie closed, starting from the top of the cuff down to where the upper meets the sole.
3. Weave in all loose ends securely.
4. Optional: You can add a small tie or strap to help keep the booties on. To make a simple tie, chain about 20 stitches and weave it through the ankle cuff.
