I hope you enjoyed all the gender reveal photos I posted yesterday! If you liked the baby booties in the photos then you are in luck because today I am posting the pattern! It should be a quick little pattern to work up and although I am calling them “newborn” baby booties, I think they could possibly fit up to 3 months depending on how loose you crochet. Also, the ribbon is adjustable and it can be tied tighter or looser.

– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Skinny Ribbon
Abbreviations:
SC = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease. I like to you use the invisible decrease as shown HERE.

Very sweet booties! Ah…a little girl. Pink is very fun!
So cute! The little booties are absolutely adorable!
Thank you for the pattern ๐ The booties are gorgeous.
My best friend is expecting a baby in the Autumn. That would be a nice gift, I think ๐

Hi there. After EACH round.. are you supposed to join and ch 1?
Meaning round 2. All of the others are join and ch 1 or 2… Giving them a go right now! ๐
Yes! Sorry, I forgot to put the "join, ch 1" after rd 2 but it's all fixed now ๐
My name is Sarah too!! I just stumbled across your Blog and LOVE it. Thanks for sharing all of your creativity with us ๐
love the patter, Going to try it today. Thank you!
Love the pattern best instructions I have read so far easy simple and direct. Thank you you would make a great instructor
And teacher foe home comics.

Hi! I'm kind of new to crochet. Do you count the chain 1 or chain 2 as your first stitch? I seem to be off one every row if I don't include the chains as the first stitch and do I join in the chain also?
Hello Monica, I count the chain 1 as my first stitch. When I count my stitches I count from my hook around and leave out the chain where I made my slip stitch. I hope this helps, if not and Sarah doesn't get back to you soon you can email me at [email protected]. I know she is busy with the new one coming and her two boys ๐
Would it work to put two stitches in the last stitch instead of the chain 1?

Let's see if I can leave a comment ๐ I need a little help – I have fudged my way through 5 pair – and am having the same problems every time I make them . . . .
Me too. I have had a lot of trouble keeping the stitch count right. I would have to add or decrease stitches to fix it. After about 6 times of frogging and starting over I finally gave up. Iโm going to try a different booties pattern.
Me too, something about this pattern is just not right. I have tried twice and am very disappointed.
I am having the same issue with this pattern as I am with another bootie pattern. Each row is ending further and further down the side of the sole–I have a seam running diagonally to the right (I am left handed). This is causing all of the toe shaping to shift to the right and side.
I am putting my first st of each row in the next st after the chain, like I would normally, and sl st to the first st.
Me too! I am also a lefty, I’m not sure if that is the issue, but I’m not sure why it would be. I just adjusted where I made the decreased stitches to line up over the toes and they seem to look fine. I’m curious what I’m doing wrong though. Reading through the pattern, It makes sense that the seem should line up on the heel, yet that’s not what’s happening.
Ok – (it wouldn't let me leave a comment yesterday). First, you are technically putting 5 sc at the end of the first step right? I can't get 7 SC on that side otherwise. ? Also, I am not ending up with the right amount of stitches at the end of a round – whether or not I start in the same stitch as the ch.1 or not. I love, LOVE LOVE these booties though – I am just struggling a little bit. Any help?
The pair I just made I just did the 6 sc that would fit, and when I start the round I make the first stitch in the same stitch as the joining. I think they came out looking like Sarah's. I also only put the 4 sc in the last stitch. I hope this helps you.
Hello, I just started making these booties and I'm having the same problem: 5 sc instead of 7.. Please, help me. I really want to make them.
I am having the same problem as Crystal and also would like to know if the chain 1 or 2 counts as the first stitch. Mine came out all wrong! The toe of the bootie is actually on the side some. :/ I am all confused! PLEASE HELP US!!!!!! Thank You
I am having the same problem as Crystal but I tried to figure it out somehow but it still looks messed up somehow :/
And I really need to make those to finish the outfit for my baby boy. So please help us since we are rather desperate!
Thank you
I think if there was a stitch count at the end of every row that might help us out! ๐
I ok had a question bout the 7sc on the back side of the start chain. I can easily get the six sc, but I runout of room for the 7th sc. I have been putting it into the skipped stitch from the from front side. Is that right? Either way they are adorable! Gotta find some cute ribbons for them.
I love your patterns and certainly appreciate all the time and effort you put into giving them to us free! Very generous!
Hope the pregnancy is going well for you, congrats!
That’s a genuinely impivssree answer.
CONGRATS!! Yay for us too we get to try your patterns for free and now more girl patterns!! So excited for you! Thank you!!
CONGRATS!! Yay for us too we get to try your patterns for free and now more girl patterns!! So excited for you! Thank you!!
When I join and add a chain 1 at the end of a row, adds stitches each time. I think that might be the problem others are having. I had to start counting the chain 1 stitch as the first stitch in the row. I kind of had to fudge the back of the booties to make them come out even because of the join slip stitch and the chain 1 adding two stitches to each row.
If I only sc 6 in the second half of R1, my stitch count works for all rounds, but the end product is skewed. Am I missing something?
I'm having some issues as well. I'm wondering if when you start each round you should be putting your first stitch into the same space as the chain or not!? Thanks.
Just finished making a pair, at first I followed your instructions exactly, and I liked them but I decided to put in some flair of my own. when I reached the dc stitches I made them on alternating posts (one in front, one in back) all the way around to make threading the ribbon a little easier. I also didn't have the size hook you recommended so I used one size smaller, which I'm sure is going to be a tight fit on my baby when they arrive but I only need them for one picture, so I figured it would be ok.
The only other change I made to them is instead of making slip stitches on the top row I did a reverse double crochet which gave it a fun sort of braided look.
Then instead of ribbon I just used a seperated color and ch 45 to make the string. (which I added leaves to the end of each strand because I'm making a pumpkin themed outfit for baby.)
Oh I forgot to mention I'm going to try posting some pictures of what I've got on my blog and you can come see them if you like… http://www.mommymommymommywhat.blogspot.com though it may take me a little bit to get them on the page cause I have to look up all the patterns to be sure everyone gets credit for the patterns they offered.
I really love this pattern ๐
This is my first attempt: http://i1281.photobucket.com/albums/a510/nyrthak1/IMG_0889_zps013ee627.jpg
I'm very new to crochet, and would love some advice on how I can adjust this pattern to come out at a NB size, using 8ply (DK) as 10ply (worsted) is incredibly hard to come by in NZ. I have a ball of yarn (8ply) left over from a cardigan pattern my mum knitted for baby #2 due in just over 2 weeks. I'd love to crochet some booties that match the cardigan before he arrives!
Soooo cute. I love all your projects!!
I have a problem with round 6. What does it mean "sc decrease 6 time"? Can you explain it to me? Will he grateful :* thank you :*
I took that to mean doing sc2tog 6 times. HTH!
super adorable! Unfortunately, mine came out WAY too small. Like, mega-premie level. Mine might even fit Barbie, lol. I'm going to have to add in a few stitches, or use a bigger yarn size – I used 5mm instead of 6.5mm. I didn't use tight stitches or anything, they were actually pretty loose. Oh well, the best thing about crochet is how simple it is to start over! ๐
Thank you for your wonderful patterns!
I've made a pair of these sweet booties for my new niece. Just looking at them sitting on the table before giving them to her gave me all kinds of baby aches, lol! I've bookmarked this page because it seems everyone is with child these days! <3
love it !!
I've just made one of the two botties! And I love it! I used a milky pink cotton yarn, and a green crochet chain! Looking awesome! Thanks for sharing the pattern!
Buuut.. mine came out a little too small I think.. They measure only 6cm long.. so that's for a 5.5cm-foot (isnt that a bit too small?) I guess.. hahaha
i have a question… how would you do it to be a little bigger for a 4 month old baby boy ?
how would you go about increasing size? i have someone wanting me to make one for their toddler with this style
For those of you that were having problems completing the pattern try this: to get the 7th SC in the back side of the chain in Rnd 1, use the skipped stitch from the first side of the chain and then join in the next SC. When joining at the end of the next rounds, skip over the slip stitch AND the chain of the previous round and join in the next stitch (should be a SC, not a slip stitch or a chain stitch). When starting your next round, begin the round in the same SC that you joined in. Doing these things helped me get the perfectly uncrooked booties in the picture above ๐ HTH!
I can't wait to try this for my baby girl (coming soon)! I have enjoyed so so many of your patterns. They're fun, accurate, and easy to repeat. Perfect!
These turned out so cute. Thanks for sharing your pattern!

Thank you so much for your pattern.
To those of you having problems with rnd 1, to me it should read: sc in second ch from hook and in next 5 ch, 5 sc in last ch, working down opposite side of ch sc in next 6 ch, (the last sc is in the same ch as the first sc), join with slst to first sc. (17 sc).
That's how I figured it out and the rest of the pattern works out great.
Have a great day!!!!
Hi Sarah, they looks very cute, i want to make the booties for 3 to 6 months baby girl, can you please help to choose the hook size. Thank you very much.
Perfect pattern! My new favorite. I have been searching for a NB bootie pattern that I liked and I have finally found it. Thanks!
After several attempts and a lot of yarn ripping.. I finally got it. Join with ss in the first sc of each round. Ch 1 and make first stitch of next round into the same space as the ss and ch 1. So. . For example. .You are finishing rnd 2. You do 2 sc into the last two stitches , then you join with a ss into the first sc of rnd 2. Ch 1, and do a sc into that same stitch. This counts as the first sc in the group of ten single crochets from round 3. Continue like this for the entire pattern and they turn out perfect. Hopefully this will help someone. ๐ I love this pattern btw! Thank you for sharing. Hugs!
thank you!!! ๐
Thank you, Briana!! Followed this and it worked perfectly. I also didn't use the sc dec Sarah linked to. I used a different one and the tops came out just a bit lacey looking. VERY cute!! You rock! ๐
Thank you so much! This saved my skin!
Might be good to include some pictures after each round. So we know if we are on tracked and ours looks like yours after each round. Thanks for sharing your lovely pattern
Could this pattern be adjusted for Premies?
I've seen people ask this in a lot of other patterns and it seems that you just have to go down in yarn weight or crochet hook to get a smaller size. This, of course, would depend on how preemie the baby is. Using a G hook and baby (3 weight) would result in some adorable little tiny booties โฅ
Just attempted this pattern and am having the same issue as those of you above. I came back here to see if anyone else was having the issue, and to see if the administrator of the page had given any advice and/or corrections. I was very sorry to see that she had not responded to any of you, but very happy to see how all of you came together to try to help each other. ๐ Hopefully, I'll get it figured out now thanks to all of you! ๐
Also need to say that I didn't mean that in a "snippy" way AT ALL. I'm sure she's busy as all get out with 3 little ones. Thanks again crafters!
Brianna's suggestion works beautifully! Good luck!
I'm working the pattern for the Hello Kitty crochet newborn shoes. I've worked the rounds ending round 8 having 18 sc to work on. I skipped to row (round) 9 for left shoe but found the instructions confusing. I followed the pattern, but don't understand where the "next 23 sts" come from as there were only 18 sc to start with. To me if I had to count to 5 to start the strap that would leave me with 13 sc. Has anyone else had this problem?
All of mine are coming out slanted! Can anyone help me fix this?
Love the bootie pattern. I have made 20 so far for a local charity. Cute and quick .
When I decrease on rows 6, 7 & 8 (sc decrease) the bootie appears holey on front….what am I doing wrong?
Try doing the decreases in the front loop only. That will eliminate the holey look.
Can you give me the pattern to make this for a toddler…2-3 years old?
Finally a pattern that I can do right! Love your blog! I have made several of your patterns. Keep up the good work!
super cute pattern, would go wonderfully with the pixie bonnets i make to sell, would you allow me to sell any i make using your pattern? pretty please ๐
I would be ever so grateful for a video tutorial. I am new to crochet and reading patterns is my weakness. These booties look very similar to the ones my grandma would make. I would sure love to be able to make some.
It’s enormous that you are getting thoughts from this paragraph as well as from our argument made here.|
Sarah, these are adorable and I couldn’t wait to make them! Only 11 rows! I am so grateful that you are willing to share this pattern with us. Thank you so much! Now I must look through your site to see what other goodies await.

How would we increase stitches to make bigger sizes?
Thank you, this is an easy and great pattern for booties. I made the pink ones and they are adorable.
I love your work and I refer to your site all the time.
I hate sites which offer comment sections as it (mis)leads one to believe that the poster is actually going to respond…… Round one UTTERLY confusing. Forget this crappliy written pattern and onto the next.

I made a pair of these and gave them to a friend at her baby shower. She loved them.
I also got another friend who is wanting a pair for her newborn who will arrive soon. She paid me for hers. I would never post this pattern or any pattern as my own.
Hi, I absolutely love these baby booties! However, no matter what I do, or how hard I try, I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am doing something wrong and was wondering if someone can give me some pointers? I think I’m having trouble figuring out where to join.. Thank you! Erin
Thank you very much for your free pattern, I’ll be making these for my 7th grand child due in Nov.. I’ve already made thread crochet pink and white sandels for a girl now for a boy’s pair!!
I have been to your blog a couple of times now, due to getting other mails from Favecrafts
Thank you for the free pasterns, I do appreciate that when you say free it is so.
Some other places offer free patterns but one can NEVER get them to save or print.
Thank you so much ๐
I love these booties but I must be missing something. At the end of round 5, I have the 32 sc. Then when I do the decreases, I have stitches left over. I do 10 sc, the 6 dec., and 10 more sc but it doesn’t come out right. What am I doing Wrong? I did my decreases like 2 sc tog. Thanks for any help. I love all the patterns.
I made them and they turned out sooooo cute. Unfortunately, I am a tight crocheter and my son was born with huge feet. They never fit! ๐ Do you have a suggestion of how I can modify the pattern for a size up?
Thank you very much!it is so sweet boots
Hi I know this is an old pattern but I was wondering how you can make them bigger! My LO is 5 months! Thanks!
DO you turn the booties inside out when done? THanks
I saw that you posted this yesterday so wondered if you have made these booties already. I’m having trouble as front of where toes will be is slightly off to one side. I saw another lady saying hers was too. What could I be doing wrong ? Did you follow the pattern as written or by a comment that a lady stated as she put 6 sc into starting chain on round 1 instead of 7 sc ? I hope this makes sense. Thank you.
Its very pretty! So cute! Cant wait to try this out!!
These are the first booties I’ve been able to make that actually turned out! THANK YOU!! ๐
Love these booties but having done one it seems to hold a shape for a right foot? Will there be a pattern to follow for the left?
I have 4 friends all having or had baby girls so I’m being kept busy making the cutest things. Thank you x
Absolutely love these little booties, coils anyone please tell me whether this pattern is US or UK please x
I used the border in your latest video as edging on a baby blanket, white and blue, and it turned out spectacular! Thanks for your many great ideas
I will only use your patterns for my family
Good day. I am struggeling a bit as my decrease seems to be making the booties look as if the decrease arent centre and making them look skew if that makes any sense. Everything else is right like the amount of stitches and the ending of each row
Does it make a difference if I use worsted weight?
I love the baby bootie pattern…I have made two pairs using variegated yarn…they work up great and so fast…this is the first time I have ever made baby booties…thank you for a easy and great patternto make.
Wow, that is so cute and interesting! I have only to admit that best running shoes for achilles tendonitis here are also a good example of a well-done job. Could you create a tutorial on how to make running shoes for a kid? It would be a great article to read.
So um..I follow the directions to a T & end up with 35 stitches where I shd have 32. So I go back & redo it & its the same. So I quit. Somethings not right with ur pattern. Sry.
Nothing was being centered, so I turn it so the seam can in the middle every round until I got to the part to increase! Other than that the pattern worked fine! Thanks!
This is the best pattern I have come across! Thank you so much. They were so simple to make. It only took me 21 minutes per bootie. Since I was making for my new grandson I made a couple extra rows of DC (FP/BP) to make a cuff. Thanks again!
I was so happy to find this pattern. I tried several times to follow the pattern. It is a very confusing pattern. After row 1, should I have 17 chains or an even number? Row 2, is that 2sc in the first two stitches or is that 2sc in EACH of the first two stitches? How many stitches should I have after row 2, 32?
Pattern needs to be made clear if anyone is to follow properly. Too bad because the booties look really cute.
Ok I’ve made the pattern many times and the first row always screws me up at first until I realize that the 7th sc is placed in the same chain as the beginning sc. Once you do that the pattern lines up fine. I wish the creator would take the time to address and fix that so people wouldn’t give up on the pattern because it is super easy and very very cute.
these are adorbs, i love crocheting im sixteen and ive mastered it lol and are selling my crochet items so imma give these a try…
Most of the time I wear Van’s or nike, none of the fancy ones.
Once a while I wear these boots.
Hello! how many skeins does it take for the booties?
thank you!

I don’t know how to read
I love your work and I love to make things and give them away. Praise God for He gave His best, our Lord and Savior, JESUS CHRIST. Thanks
First, Sarah, thank you for being generous and kindhearted enough to post your free pattern, these are just adorable and really do whip up quickly once you understand the pattern! As very experienced in crocheting, this pattern was difficult for me until I threw out my previous knowledge and bent the usual rules. For those of you still having trouble (or are new to trying these), here’s how to make it all work out just as Sarah did.
For the first round, chain 8, sc in 2nd and then subsequent chains till a total of 6 sc’s. Then 4 sc’s go in the last chain (one strand) on the same side of the beginning knot – turn, so the count for the 7 sc’s uses the other strand of the last chain (other side of the knot) as the first of the 7. Do the 7 sc’s then skip the stitch at the end (from the beginning chain 8), and slip stitch into your first sc and chain one. (I know it looks lopsided and a big hole in the other end, trust me, after you add the double stitches in next round it fills it out and shapes nicely at toe box, the following rounds then fit in perfectly at the right place.) (Also, we are usually taught to spread stitches in the last chain over both of the strands so if 4 stitches, normally you would do 2 on one side then 2 on the other strand side. Bend the rules this time!)
Now, round two, sc twice in that same joined stitch (not the slip stitch itself but beside it!). Sc twice in next stitch and sc in next 4, continue pattern. At end, after last two sc, skip the joined/slip stitch AND the chain to join with a slip stitch in the first sc you made for that round. (Last note : Usually a slip stitch for joining is used and counted as a stitch, in this pattern it is NOT! It is skipped, just a ‘place holder’ or space adjustment along with the chain stitch.) Again, for round 3, sc in the same stitch (the joined one, not the slip stitch!) – that will be your first count for this round. Continue the pattern, always at the end of rounds, skip the slip stitch AND the chain – go into the first stitch of the round with a slip stitch and then chain one. Start the next round in that same stitch. The toe box always come out centered and count is always correct without bunching or empty spaces on the heel side, just a perfect straight seam where joined.
If anyone still has problems or needs further help (pics?) let me know. I think everyone gets started wrong on the first round, throwing off the toe area, and then not skipping the slip stitch and chain at end, plus not starting the next round in that same stitch is what really messes it up. Hope this helps anyone who would like to try this wonderful pattern.
