Assuming you mean baby booties, here’s a detailed pattern for a simple and adorable pair:
Easy Crochet Baby Booties Pattern
This pattern is designed for beginners and uses basic crochet stitches. The finished size will generally fit a newborn to 3-month-old baby, but you can adjust the hook size and yarn weight to make them slightly larger or smaller.
Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn (approximately 50-75 yards)
- Crochet hook size H/8 (5.0 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Scissors
Gauge:
- 4 single crochet (sc) = 1 inch
- 4 rows of single crochet = 1 inch
Abbreviations:
- ch = chain
- sl st = slip stitch
- sc = single crochet
- hdc = half double crochet
- dc = double crochet
- inc = increase (work 2 sc in the same stitch)
- dec = decrease (sc 2 stitches together)
- st(s) = stitch(es)
- rep = repeat
- RS = right side

Instructions:
