I started playing around with my Crochet Rain Boots pattern and adapted it into these cute little cuffed booties! Enjoy the the pattern and be sure to follow my instructions on where to start, end and join your rounds since it is different than the rain boots pattern!
Always begin your rounds in the same stitch as your chain.
In rounds 2-5 you will end your rounds in the same stitch as your chain. So technically you will be adding an extra stitch to each round. I have found that this helps keep the heal flatter.
Update 10-26-12: A video tutorial for rounds 1-7 is now available on my YouTube channel. I am only allowed to upload 15 minute videos at a time so this all I have so far... but I think it will help a lot of you out!

OMG - Those are adorable! I really need to learn to crochet beyond the basic chain stitch. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous boots, have a grandson coming december, will get the hook going.
ReplyDeletethankyou for sharing
really cute!!!
ReplyDeletexxx Alessandra
These are adorbs! Your patterns are always the cutest things ever!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are SOOO cute! Thanks for the awesome pattern. BTW I love your profile pic! Very pretty.:)
ReplyDeleteYou've done it again... these are soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute, thank you for the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteHi I want to make these but I want to know the gauge because I always have to go up a few hook sizes when I crochet.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable!! Thank you for posting the pattern. I can't wait to make some very soon.
ReplyDeleteit's so cute !!! thanks for pattern. Do you authorize me to translate into French in my blog (With a link towards your blog) When I would have realized these baby attractive booties. My blog friends search new modèle for gift (and me too)
ReplyDeleteexcuse me i don't speak very well english.
I'm new, and I get confused row 8, what I understand its sc12, then 1sc decrease, 1sc in next 2, but what does the 4 times mean? I've been trying, and I always have like 8 or 9 stitches away from me to join... Please help! :-) thank you in advance!
ReplyDeleteHi Diana,
DeleteI'm definitely not an expert, but when you see something in brackets in a pattern, followed by something like "4 times", it wants you to repeat what's in the brackets that many time. So in this instance, you do the decrease, then 2 sc, 4 times. I hope that helps! (Sarah, I don't mean to steal your thunder!) :-)
Thanks Chiclet!! Yes, you repeat what it is in the brackets 4 times.
DeleteIt means you will decrease then sc in 2 stitches 4 times total then finish the round with sc 12.
DeleteI need some help with rnd 2. Do I do HDC, 2HDC, HDC in each stich for the first 6 sts?
ReplyDeleteNo, you make a HDC in the first stitch, two HDC in the second stitch, and one HDC in the next 6 stitches. Hope that is a better explanation :)
DeleteI was confused the same as Jessica.
DeleteThanks for the clarification!
I love this pattern and am finding that it works up really fast! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteQuick question though: I'm confused about the cuff. Are rows 17-19 all SC and then switch from HDC to SC on rows 20-24 or is it just row 17 that's SC and then you switch between the two on rows 18-22?
You had it right the first time: rows 17-19 are all single crochet and then switch from HDC to SC on rows 20-24. But it really isn't that important what combination of stitches you do, I just like the way the alternating HDC and SC look on the cuff :)
DeleteThank you! The first one came out so cute!
DeleteThank you both for this I will try it again!. (fingers crossed!)
ReplyDeleteHi! I love your patterns but had a question. If I used a smaller hook would it make these smaller? I'm needing some for a nb-6 mos or so...
ReplyDeleteHi could u please help me what is a deep single crochet ?
ReplyDeleteFrom my understanding and looking it up, all you do it insert the needle a little farther past the loop you would usually stitch into. You can see in the picture that the stitches look deeper in the transition from gray to pink, as a result from the 'deep' stitch.
DeleteIt's in the video... it's kind of like going into the previous row...
DeleteWhat do you mean by ''join" that's the only thing I'm not understanding !
ReplyDeleteThank you!! These are adorable! I am so grateful to you for sharing this pattern. I need to try and make some this week for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteIs row 6 worked in back loops also? And are there no joins or chains in that row or the last 4?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question 40sc doesn't seem enough! I tried 4 times and the second color won't join up!!
Deletehaving the same problem!
Deleteadorable little booties!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I can not wait to crochet them!
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable but I just can't get mine to look like that. Seems much bigger despite a tight stitch and doesn't seem to lay smooth.
ReplyDeleteWhat I get now is that rounds 2, 3 are in both loops, round 4, 5, 6 in back loops, round 7 in both loops till the final round or only the 7th round? and the rest am I right or it's something else?
ReplyDeleteAnd please Sarah clarify "deep" single crochet!
ReplyDeleteHang in there everyone! I am going to try to make a video tutorial this week and hope that it will answer all of your questions!
ReplyDeleteWhat size hook would I need to make a smaller size? Or will this be in the video as well? I love the pattern just want to be able to make them in smaller/bigger sizes. Just don't know which hooks to use.
DeleteGreat, and make a note what to do if we wanna make it bigger ;)
DeleteAwesome, can't wait for the video!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how you change color so neatly as well! :-)
These shoes are so, so cute! I just made one but it turned out lopsided for some reason :( I did count all the way through but might have joined at the wrong stitches or included too many decreases on one side. A video would be great! :D Thank you for sharing this pattern! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Do you have a pattern for larger sizes?
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely. Thank you for the pattern. I made a pair with a matching beanie and posted them on my blog here:
ReplyDeletehttp://megsjshep.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/beanie-and-boots-giveaway/
i agree with everyone 'wow wonderful'
ReplyDeletethank you for this great pattern! The directions seem easy to follow and can't wait to make them for my grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteA video tutorial for rounds 1-7 of these booties is now available! YouTube will only let me upload 15 minute videos so this is all I was able to do so far. But I think it will help a lot of you out!! Here is the link to the video: http://youtu.be/bF5EPHH_RVU
ReplyDeleteI am also confused on several things on the pattern in regards to after the 1st round what do I join it to? The 5 sc in the last chain is more stitches and makes a gap. Also, the deep single crochet (couldn't find it anywhere) and do I turn after the rounds? The video tutorial would help alot. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a gap where the five sc are just pull on the tail to make it tighter when finished
DeleteI love this pattern, just adorable! I was also wondering if you have a pattern to make a smaller sized bootie? For a younger baby? Thanks in advance and until then I will make these! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern :) Just wondering if I was to make them for a one year old up can I just use or bigger needle or would I also have to add more to the starting chain? thank you xx
ReplyDeleteYeah sooooo beautiful shoes! I gonna make these for a baby girl who's gonna be born at the end of this year. But they should fit to a 0-6 months old, so I'm asking the same question: how to make them smaller? Or are they small enough to fit a newborn..?
ReplyDeleteanyways, it's real kind of you to share the pattern! Thank you!
By the way: you count the dates wrong on this website, don't you? It's the 2nd of November today...
ReplyDeleteOh or it's my fault...? I'm in Thailand ;-) Sorry, I guess we're faster here!
ReplyDeleteis there a way to make this pattern smalle, I want to make of a newborn to 3 month
ReplyDeleteWas there a second video for the next rounds?
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Just made a pair for a baby shower gift. I ended up altering the pattern slightly by turning at round 17, so the outside would be prettier when folded over :) Then I added a row of scallops (ch1, 5dc in next st, skip 1, sc, skip 1, 5dc, etc until there's 6 scallops for anyone who wants to try it). They turned out great! Thanks for the pattern!
ReplyDeleteHow to make these smaller? For a newborn to 6 months? Please, someone, help me!
ReplyDeleteTo make smaller booties I would use a thinner yarn (Vanna's Choice is a little on the bulky side) and go down a hook size. I am also a loose crocheter, so I am sure if you crochet tighter, it will end up smaller :) Hope this helps!!
ReplyDeleteThis booties are beautiful. Just started with my first one. And the video is great. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteVielen Dank,dass sie teilen mit uns diese schöne Anleitung.Es ist super erklärt und das Video ist auch sehr hilfreich.Ein schönes Geschenk für Enkelkind.Danke
ReplyDeleteso deep sc is you just single crochet over the previous round? single crochet in the same stiches as previous rounds? please help me. Also, when do you do that optional slip stitch round on the bottom of the shoe?
ReplyDeleteThese are só cute! I also don't understand what is ment by "slip stitch". (half single crochet in the stitches of the first rim in backloops??)
ReplyDeleteCould you tell me which row you did the slip stitch in on the sole? Thank you for the cute pattern!
ReplyDeleteJust as a note - making these for the first time - read instructions first, then watched a portion of the video. At the end of Round 5 it says:
ReplyDelete"Round 5: In back loops only, SC around, join, ch 1. (40 SC)
Change to color 2
Round 6: SC around making deep single crochets (40 SC)"
Yet in your video, I think you change colors before the join and chain 1, so that your color change occurs soon enough to keep the second color all in the same row, rather than having the chain 1 show up in the first color, correct?
If this is the case, could you update the instructions for us newbies who aren't very good at color changes yet? ;)
Hello, I have noticed there are a couple different ways to change colors so although I wrote it out to change colors after you chain 1, I prefer to change colors and then join, chain 1 (like I did in the video). Either way you do it will be fine :)
DeleteSo, at round 17, it says 17-19 sc around. Yet then, it says 18 is HDC...I'm assuming that the 17-19 is a typo, and should just read 17.
ReplyDeleteIs this correct??
thanks
Wow. Thanks for catching that Stephanie! I can't believe how many times I've looked at this pattern and never noticed it. Yes, you are correct and I just fixed it :) Thanks!
Deleteawesome!! thanks for fixing it. I'm on the 2nd pair today, almost done with them! These are SUPER cute and work up so fast!! These will make great baby gifts for my friends who are expecting!! Thanks so much for sharing this pattern! I appreciate free patterns so much!! HUGS!!
DeleteThank you so much for this pattern! Those boots are super cute! Thank you also for the video, it's so helpful!
ReplyDeleteoh wooww....awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWow I love your projects!!
ReplyDeleteThese booties are adorable!
I pinned them to one of my baby's boards
Hi Sarah! I just wanted you to know that someone is selling this pattern on Listia. If it is you, I apologize. I just would hate for someone to be getting money/credits for your FREE pattern.
ReplyDeleteWonderful boots! Will def try out ASAP! :) Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute but I worry about little ones swallowing the button... but they are adorable....thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this pattern! I made mine two days ago, and they turned out great (in my opinion)! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://diycraftymom.blogspot.ca/2012/11/crochet-baby-booties.html
I finally got around to watch your video... THANK YOU!! I was very intimidated by booties for some reason and you made it look so easy. I appreciate you offering this up as a free pattern!! Thanks again!! I'm going to link back to this post even if I don't sell them, everyone should see how adorable these are!
ReplyDeleteI can NOT get this patttern worked out-row 2 has 27 sc not counting chain-row 3 has 39-
ReplyDeleteI come up short on row 3 no matter how I count them. any suggestions on my confussion!!!
barb
I would love to make this booties for my two year old but i am fairly new to crochet :) and I should add I am not an Mathematic genius :( Should I just use chunky yarn and bigger hook?
ReplyDeleteSoooooo cute!Thank you for sharing the pattern. We have babies joining the family in the spring, and I can't wait to gift them with these booties and an owl hat from your website :) Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute!! I made a pair a few days ago for a baby shower and absolutely loved them--I will definitely be using this pattern again! I used a size E hook with softer baby yarn (I'm also a pretty "loose" crocheter) and they turned out perfect for a newborn...I think I need to make a pair for my own baby due next month too! I'm pinning this page--thanks so much for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteI just made these, and mine came out lop sided :( what did I do wrong?
ReplyDeleteReally love these, im going to give them a try. Thanks for sharing! :}
ReplyDeleteLove these just wondering if i could make in a bigger size? For 14 months if at all possible it would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteChristine Fortier
I have been trying literally all day to make these boots bigger. I've used larger needles and yarn and I have tried adding stitches. I just can't seem to figure it out. Do u have this pattern in a bigger size? I wanted to make them for a 1 and 2 year old.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pattern for these cute booties. I've pinned them to my pinterest board and am looking forward to making them one day. Thanks again for sharing. Happy Creating.
ReplyDeleteThese booties are great! The pattern was easy (just make sure you're counting as you go)- the booties came together really quickly! After making a pair for my nephew, I was asked if I could make a pair for my friend's daughter - I created a modified pattern using this pattern to fit 24 months (which was also pretty simple). I'll be putting a pair together over the next day or two. Very excited!
ReplyDeletedo u have this pattern for 0-6 months
ReplyDeleteI would just drop the hook size from G to an F. That's what I did.
Deletei love your tutorials very much, but i do not know this one confused meee in counting :), however thank you sweeti
ReplyDeletelove this... but trying to figure out how to make this bigger.... My children are big footed! these are to small for my 7mnth old. Would i use a Larger yarn and hook? or add stiches? love the pattern and the result, just to small for my kids!!
ReplyDeleteDeep single crochet (deep sc): Work a deep sc just like a normal sc except you will insert your hook one row down.
ReplyDeleteThanks...that's very clear!
DeleteI like you tutorial but my shoes always come out way to big. Can you tell me what im doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteEasy to follow and amazingly adorable!! Made a pair in an hour - love them and so do my girls :-)
ReplyDeleteHey there. These are so cute And Ive been trying to make them but they keep turning out weird. Im counting and counting but I think I am some how getting off count. Could you please upload the other rounds on to youtube so I can follow you visually, I'd really appreciate it, i have to make 3 for several baby showers!
ReplyDeleteThis is frustrating - the advertisements on the right side of your pattern cuts off part of the dirctions and I can't crochet them.
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for the great pattern! I posted about them on my blog and linked to your blog. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much for sharing this pattern, and also for the video tutorial. I've been looking a long time for a pattern that works up easily and also looks professional. Now I've found it. THANK YOU again for the awesome pattern!!
ReplyDeleteThank you from Australia. These are so cute. I am soon to be a grandmother so I'm going to give these a go! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the pattern. These are so cute. I finished the first boot yesterday, and I know this might be a stupid question but I`m fairly new to this. Do I follow the same pattern for both left and right, or do I have to do each row in reverse?
ReplyDeletetx for the pattern n tutorial sarah!
ReplyDeleteu r great mommy....
In the video you do ch 1 at the end of round 6, but it's not written that way.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great pattern!!I want to make them for 3 years old.What crochet size shall i use?Thank you!!Annita.
ReplyDeleteI love these booties. I just learned that my oldest son (who did not want children) is now expecting with his little adorable Japanese wife, and he is happy about it! I know the baby will be beautiful and I want to make these booties for her (him). Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI was also a stay at home mother and home schooled both my sons who are now career military (of all things!) I can appreciate your very important role. I pray God's blessing on you and your family. Thank you for sharing! Debra
Hello there, Thanks for posting the pattern. I'm almost done with my first bootie but was wondering about rows 18-22. Are they worked continuously or do you join them at the end like the rest of the rows? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love it =) ,, Thanks for sharing your Pattern
ReplyDeleteHi i am currently working on these gorgeous shoes, i love them :) but i am stuck on round 8 how do i make a decrease?? I am new at crocheting and i really need help.
ReplyDeleteThanks alot :)
Thank you so much for sharing your pattern! This is my 3rd crochet project. I am making these for my step-sister who is expecting her first, a boy. The video definitely helped me get started. I did mine with grey and orange with little navy anchor buttons.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I just got an order last night for "some cute baby booties" hahaha for a 10 month baby boy. Mom isn't sure exactly what she wants, just cute. heheh. So glad I found this pattern, I am definitely going to give it a try, I love it, it's so cute. I'm tired of the boring baby booties for boys!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be making these, have a great grandbaby coming this summer and we have chilly nights here on the west coast!
ReplyDeleteBetween row 4 and five you say you added a stitch, stitch count goes from 39 to 40 but you join as you did before, to first sc, so where are you adding a stitch?
ReplyDeleteI love these!! I just started crocheting how hard would it be to make a bigger size?
ReplyDeleteI am new at crocheting. What is the gauge for this project, so my sizing is correct?
ReplyDeleteHello Sarah!
ReplyDeleteThank you very very much for this wonder!
Really clear instruction and easy pattern.
I finished it and it's look like I got it :)
You're one of the few who accept to share the patterns free.
I wish you and your family health, peace and love :)
at the end of round 6 in the video you join and ch 1 but you did not write that in the pattern. So far this is turning out nice. Just a few suggestions for your patterns and videos. If I were a beginner I probably would not be able to follow along with your video because you crochet quite quickly. Maybe you could slow down a bit when doing a video tutorial (also it is hard to hear you, maybe speak louder)
ReplyDeleteYou didn't meantion a guage for the pattern so im not sure if my botties are going to turn out the same size as yours. Maybe you could write that in or measure the length and width of the sole of the booties so everyone will know if the size is working out correctly. I hope you dont mind the suggestions! Thanks for the beautiful pattern!!!!!!! They are lovely
i want to make a bigger size. cud you gimme the cordinates for a bigger boot? this one isnt enough for my daughter. i need one double this size.
ReplyDeleteHi, I also wanted to make it bigger, so I used two yarns. Problem is that the bootie is to wide, the shape is gone: the sole is to wide and the whole for the ankle is to small. Any tips? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello, in row four I am only coming up with 34 stitches...I have tore it out twice and my counts come out fine for the first three rows. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah :) Just started crocheting the first bootie today and doing good so far. I was wondering, do I have to join and chain 1 after Round 18? and continue on that way? It doesn't say and I'm a little confused as to what to do... Thank you in advance :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh!!! I have a friend who is having a baby in less than 2 weeks!!!! I'm going to have to Crochet a whole basket load of these for her!!! They are way too adorable!!! You do such fantastic work!!!!
ReplyDeleteRound 10 says 6SC decrease. Does this mean I SC decrease 6 consecutive times moving around the row? How it is written is confusing me as it makes me think I SC decrease 6 times in the same stitch. Can someone please clarify? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute..., I want to make a pair for my son
ReplyDeleteplease visit my blog too ~_~

Thank you for this pattern! These booties are adorable :)

DeleteOkay let me try this again....On that invisible sc decrease did you use both loops or just the front loops to make the sc decrease? Mine look like duck feet on the toe part!! BTW how's the pregnancy going??
ReplyDeleteCatherine, you only use the front loops for the decrease. There is a really good tutorial that shows you how to do it.
DeleteI just did the steps for first colour and it turned out way too small! I counted all the stitches as I went, it turned out the size for a dolly not a 6 month old. Any idea what I did wrong?
ReplyDeleteI love your tutorial, but for a novice I think it is too fast and I would have liked it to be somewhat slower in the video.
ReplyDeleteI see that this pattern is for 6-12 months. How can I make it for a smaller child, say 3 to 6 months. Any help would be appreciated:-)
ReplyDeleteIn round 8 do i do the SC 12, then decrease after that? i'm a bit confused on this.
ReplyDeleteI did this once and it came out HUGE, so I went and bought a smaller hook and yarn, made sure to crochet tight, and again still HUGE! I counted my stitches and it came out right.i did notice you wrote 6 mos-12 mos so I guess I'll hang onto them for awhile, but the sole of the foot is as big as my palm!!!!
ReplyDeleteIs there a pattern for a smaller version of this boot?
ReplyDeleteok I like doing this pattern and can read and understand it all. I have tried numerous times get it right. but every time I finish a bootie it looks too tight in the front and a little weird. doesn't look nice and round on the top like yours. it leans and doesn't sit right. any suggestions?
ReplyDelete
