For this model (sole size 10 cm) you need soft yarn (100% acrylic, 50 g / 200 m) in 2 colors.
We dial 12 v.p. + 3 v.p. (total 15 ch), insert the hook into the 4th loop of the chain from the hook and knit 3 rows according to this pattern.
Having knitted three rows, we move on to another color.
4th row - in each column (back) we knit a single crochet loop. The result should be 56 loops.
We knit the 5th one in the same way. The result will be two rows knitted with white thread.
Again we switch to blue. We start by knitting a “bump” (2 chain stitches, after 2 unfinished stitches, then one chain stitch).
We skip one loop and make a “bump” again.
So knit a whole row and close. We knit the 7th in the same way as the 6th.
We close the row and break the thread. Having marked the middle, we begin to knit the toe with a white thread.
Insert the hook into the back wall of the loop and knit a white “bump” from two unfinished loops.
Turn it over and also knit “bumps”.
There should be 7 pieces, after which you need to connect them.
Finish the row in the same way.
2 more rows and switch to blue again.
We decorate the edge by knitting three air loops for each column.

You can take any cotton threads you like and a hook No. 2.5. We start with the sole (look at the diagram below).

When a little happiness appears in a family, you want it to have all the best, the most fashionable and beautiful. And, importantly, children's things should also be functional. The baby's first shoes are booties. If you haven't tried knitting booties yet, this article will definitely inspire you to create at least one pair of adorable baby shoes.
Crocheted booties for a newborn are a great opportunity to show all your love and skill for experienced knitters or hone your skills if you are a beginner needlewoman.
Yarn
Choosing yarn for newborn booties is a pleasant and responsible task. In the variety presented in stores, you can choose a color, texture and composition to suit even the most demanding taste and budget. But it is important to remember that yarn for children's knitwear should not only be bright and beautiful, but also have good hygienic properties.
Wool threads are considered the most suitable for this purpose. They are pleasant to work with, look good in the finished product, do not prevent the legs from breathing and retain heat.
Cotton and linen work well for knitted summer shoes. And synthetic acrylic yarn has high strength, does not fade, its properties are close to natural wool and has a low price.
Booties size
Once the yarn has been selected, you need to decide on the size. Measure your baby's foot from the tip of the heel to the tip of the big toe. If it is not possible to measure the foot, then the average length of the feet is given below:
- Up to 3 months – 9-10 cm;
- From 3 months to six months – 10-11 cm;
- From six months to a year – 11-12 cm;
- From one year to 1.5 years – 13-14 cm.
Bootie soles
On a chain 12 chain stitches long, knit 8 rows in a circle with half-columns. If you need larger booties, increase the length of the chain of the initial row and the number of rows of half-columns.
Now knit 4 rows, alternating one row of double crochets and a row of half double crochets - this will be the headband. We knit the headband without any increments. Divide the number of loops in the work into 6 equal parts and mark them with markers.
Toe
On the loops of one part we will knit the toe part with half-columns. The number of rows of the toe corresponds to the number of loops in the work. In each row, knit the last loop of the toe together with the next loop (either to the right or to the left of the toe) with the loop of the base of the headband.
Bootie top
The top of the bootie (shank) is knitted with single crochets on the loops of the remaining four parts: 1 part – toe loops, 3 parts – loops of the base of the headband. Having tied the boot to the desired height, finish the job. Knit the second bootie in the same way.
Decoration of booties
The top and rim of the booties can be tied with finishing thread, a cord or satin ribbon can be threaded around the top, embroidery or applique will look good on the toe. Here the flight of your imagination is not limited.
Using this step-by-step guide and having minimal crocheting skills, you can easily knit comfortable and warm shoes for your baby or as a gift. When determining the size, you should take into account the thickness of the selected yarn and the size of the hook.
Master class in one photo
If you are wondering how to crochet booties, the foot pattern suggested above will be the key to creating any model. Then you can tie it in any way you like, creating a wide variety of models.
This photo shows booties that are suitable for both girls and boys. They are created in a few simple steps:
- We tie the base with two rows of single crochets with threads of a different color, inserting the hook behind the back wall;
- We knit the next row with a thread of the main color in this way: a cone of two vp. and two unfinished double crochets, ch 1, * skip 1 base loop and knit a cone from 3 unfinished stitches. s/n, 1 vp* Repeat until the end of the row from * to *;
- We knit another row with cones from 3 tbsp, inserting the hook into the top of the cone of the previous row;
- We begin to knit the toe with a thread of a contrasting color, marking the middle of the bootie. In the second row, the number of “cones is halved”;
- We knit the top of the bootie in three rows, grabbing the loops of the toe and the rest of the bootie;
- We tie the edge with arcs of air loops with a thread of the main color.
This master class will be useful for both beginning needlewomen and experienced craftswomen, because it will only take a few hours to create one pair of lovely shoes.
Photo of crochet booties
Moms and grandmothers, aunts and sisters - the article is dedicated to you and your children, grandchildren, nephews and younger members of your family. After all, we will teach you how to crochet booties for newborns: we have collected patterns and descriptions especially for you.
We We will tell you step by step the secrets of knitting booties, we will demonstrate photos of simple and affordable models, talk about diagrams and patterns. So, let's get down to a fabulous activity that will bring you a lot of pleasant memories, and your baby - incredibly beautiful and stylish shoes created by caring and loving mothers.
We present to you booties for newborns of a slightly unusual, but very successful model.
This simple method of knitting booties-slippers is suitable for craftswomen who are beginning their acquaintance with the world of handmade items. No complex combinations, patterns or anything else – just 2 elements and a simple but original decor. We will knit with crochet number 3, and we will take soft, natural and thin yarn. The length of the sole of the bootie will be 9 cm, this is exactly the size of a baby’s foot from 0 to 2 months. You can also measure your baby's foot yourself.
We invite you to study a master class during which you will learn how to knit tiny and very stylish booties. Naturally, we should knit the sole of our booties. Use this diagram, and then pay attention to the photo of the finished product.
Then you can start knitting the sidewall, which we will make according to the pattern. 
When the side is ready, we knit a chain along the top edge.
Here are the promised 2 parts from which we will form our bootie.
Fold the side part in the form of a miniature turban. 
We sew the side to the sole and get an almost finished product. 
All we have to do is make a fastening in the form of a loop and a decorative clasp. A simple button will not work here, because it will be very heavy for a tiny leg. It's better to make a flower clasp, which will significantly decorate your product. For boys, you can choose more conservative fastener colors - blue, gray, brown. But mothers of girls have an unlimited field for imagination. Create unique booties and enjoy!
How to crochet booties: training for mommies
We invite you to familiarize yourself with another way of knitting wonderful baby booties. This time we will have fishnet booties, which can be knitted for both girls and boys (you should take darker threads).
First stage - materials
- 50 grams of “Iris” thread (cotton);
- 15 grams of thread of a different color (for openwork);
- 40 cm ribbons (for decoration) or knitted thread tassels;
- hook number 3.
Since our threads are thin, we will knit in 2 threads. It’s better to make a pair of booties right away so that they come out identical.
Now we will learn in detail how to crochet booties. At the end of the section, you will be able to watch video lessons from experienced knitters and try to make your own masterpiece with them.
Second stage - sole
- To begin with - 13 air loops and 3 lifting loops.
- For the first row, starting from the fifth stitch, we make 11 double crochets. In the last loop we also make 5 double crochets, and then another 11 double crochets. After this, we knit 4 double crochets in one loop and finish with a connecting loop.
- For the second row we go up 3 air loops, make 11 tbsp. double crochet and knit 5 times, 2 tbsp. with a double crochet in each of the loops. We knit another 11 sts. double crochet and 4 times 2 double crochets in each stitch. At the end we knit 1 double crochet and again a connecting loop.
- For the third row, we again rise by 3 loops, knitting 12 tbsp. double crochet, and then go over 8 times, 2 tbsp. with a double crochet for each loop. We knit another 13 stitches and again go through 8 times, 2 stitches each. At the end we make 1 tbsp. with a double crochet and end with a connecting loop.
- The knitting of the sole has come to an end.
- At the same time as the first, as we have already said, it is better to knit the second sole so that the knitting style and all parameters are identical.
- The next stage is knitting the sides. First you need to strengthen the sole. Around the columns from the previous row we knit one row with single crochets and any additions.
- The hook is inserted from the wrong side and from right to left, and then, wrapping around the column of the previous row, pick up the thread and pull it out to the wrong side of the sole.
- After we have strengthened the sole, we should tie the sides. To do this, we knit 2 rows with a single crochet, ending the rows with a connecting loop. We begin each subsequent row with two lifting loops.
Third stage - toe
It's time for us to knit the toe of our bootie. To do this, we find the center by folding the product in half lengthwise. Now from this central point set aside 15 stitches to the left and to the right, marking the point with a paper clip or thread. 
1 row– rise by 3 air loops, then knit 4 tbsp. double crochet and 10 times 2 tbsp. with a crochet together. After this, we make 5 more double crochets. Let's turn the knitting over
2nd row– we repeat the same thing.
3rd row– rise to 3 air, then 4 tbsp. double crochet, 1 chain stitch and 5 tbsp. double crochet 
We knitted the toe of the bootie.
The fourth stage is the top of the product
Crocheting booties for beginners continues with making the upper part of the product. 
We make 2-3 connecting loops to get closer to the center, then knit 1 row with double crochets.
The top of the bootie will be made according to the pattern.
To knit row 1 we use all double crochets.
We begin the next row with three lifting loops, and then repeat the alternation until the end of the row - 1 chain stitch, 1 double crochet, through the column of the previous row. 
Crochet booties are an easy way to create warm and cozy children's shoes for the home. Nowadays, there are a lot of different patterns for knitting booties available, but for the most part they are very difficult to understand for beginning needlewomen.
Tools and materials Time: 12 hours Difficulty: 1/10
- any soft yarn - 50 g;
- large buttons - 2 pcs.;
- hook number 4.
And so we chose a lesson with the simplest, but at the same time very cute booties that even inexperienced craftswomen can do. See the entire step-by-step photo master class with description below.

Step by step description
Step 1: Knitting the sole of the bootie
- Row 1: 12 ch chain, 1 pp, 8 sc, 3 dc, 6 dc in one loop of the previous row, 3 dc, 8 sc, 3 dc in one loop, 1 sp.
- Row 2: 1 st, 10 sc, 1 dc, 2 dc in one loop of the previous row, 2 dc, 2 dc, 3 dc in one, 6 dc, 1 dc, 10 sc, 6 dc in three loops of the previous row, 1 sp .
- Row 3: 2 pp, 10 dc, 24 dc, 10 dc, 10 dc, 1 sp.
Step 2: Knitting the sides and nose of the bootie
- Row 4: Continue knitting sc without changing the number of stitches. In this case, insert the hook directly into the second back loop of the previous row. And thus we form a right angle between the sole and the side of the bootie.
- Rows 5 to 11: knit in the same way, but in both loops of the previous row.
- Row 12: Divide the knitting into four parts: two side, longer ones, one part for the heel and the other for the toe. We leave the heel part unchanged. We continue knitting on the nose part with constant knitting of the side parts of the booties. We perform 10 s3n, and a row of sc around the heel, unfolding the product.
- Row 13: 8 d2n, sc and unfold again.
- Row 14: 6 s2n, sbn, then 4 s2n and sbn.
Step 3: Knitting a strap and a heel
- Row 15: Without cutting the thread, continue knitting the booties. From the same point where we finished part of the sock, we cast on 15 ch.
- Row 16: We return along the ch, knitting a sc, then we knit a heel.
- Rows 17 to 18: Unfold the fabric and knit a row of sc.
- Row 19: the entire row of dc, only at the end of the strap we make a skip of 1 ch, for a hole for a button.
- Row from 20 to 23: all sc. We cut the thread and fasten it.
We knit the second bootie in the same way, only we knit the strap on the other side.
Sew on the buttons.
To knit the same booties for a girl, simply add one row to the last row and knit an openwork edge: 5 dc in one loop of the previous row, 1 dc. And so on until the end.
These are the wonderful booties we ended up with. They are very comfortable and will not fall off when the baby moves, because they securely grip the leg. Your baby will be happy to frolic, and you will be sure that his feet are definitely warm)
In each row we must go up one row. To do this, if in knitting there is a sc, then we do 1 ch on the rise. If CCH, then do 3 VPs on the rise.
Row 1. Cast on 15 VP (12 +3 for rise)
In the fourth loop from the end we make 5 dcs.
Then we knit 1 dc in every 10 stitches. In the last loop we make 6 dcs,
the next 10 loops are 1 dc each. We connect with a connecting loop.
Row 2. Make *2 dc with one base. We repeat this the next 6 times. Next 10 dc *. Repeat from *. Connect.
Row 3. Make *2 dc with one base +1 dc. We repeat this 6 times. Next, 10 dc* on the other side. Repeat from *. Let's connect.
Row 4. Make *2 dc with one base +2 dc. We repeat this 6 times. Next, 10 dc* on the other side. Repeat from *. Let's connect.
According to my measurements, 4 rows are enough. It turns out 10 cm. If the child’s foot is larger, we knit another row according to pattern 1.
Ruffle pattern for booties:
Row 5. Make 3 dc with one base + 1 sc through one loop.
We knit to the end of the row, make the last 2 dcs into the loop of the base of the rise and connect. The bottom ruffles are ready.
Row 6. (intermediate). Using a purple thread, insert a hook, as if wrapping a column around it, and make 1DC.
Scheme 3 We knit the same number of dcs as in the fourth row.
We also repeat rows 7 and 8.
Row 9. Pattern 4.
Scheme 4 We knit a sock. Insert the thread in the middle of the bootie.
and knit *2 DC with one vertex + 2DC*. Repeat from *. So we knit to the middle of the booties on the other side.
Row 10. Knit *2 DC with one vertex + 1 DC*. Repeat from *.
Row 11. Make 2 dcs with one vertex to the end of the row.
Row 12. Connect all the columns. We make unfinished CCHs,
then we connect them with VP.
Row 13. Break off the pink thread and insert it from the center of the sock.
We knit 1 dc in each loop until the end of the row.
Row 14. Cast on 5 VP and 1 DC through one loop. Next we make *2 VP and 1 DC through one loop *. Repeat from *. Let's connect.
Row 15 and 16. We knit 1 dc in each loop.
Row 17. Make 4 ch and 1 dc through one loop. *1 VP + 1 dc through one loop *. Repeat from *. Connect.
Row 18. We knit ruffles according to pattern 2
Row 19. We tie the ruffles. We draw in a purple thread and make 1 ch + 1 sc + “picot” from 2 loops. Then *2 sc, 1 sc extended into row 17, + 2 sc + picot*. Repeat from *. We also tie the ruffles on the foot of the girls’ booties.
We stretch a pink or purple 5 mm ribbon into the bottom row of squares. If desired, you can sew a flower on the middle of the bootie.
Crocheted booties for girls are ready! I hope that these diagrams and descriptions will help beginning craftswomen knit beautiful booties with ruffles. Wear them with pleasure!
