UPDATE: after some confusion I separated the pattern, the larger version is still right here, comparable to a size 4, and the smaller crochet wrap around button infant boot is on it’s own post.
I am SO excted to share this tutorial with you. I saw this picture and I couldn’t help but try to create my own version of it! My cousin just had twins last week so I made a boy and girl version! Of course I made them to fit my model so they won’t fit the twins for SOME time. But they are precious!
Yes, I made my sweet little boy wear the girls boots for this picture. Better than a skirt or something, right? I love the scallops on the girl version, but the boy version is adorable too! The really sad thing is he’s already out grown these boots as well.
I started with a size to fit my model, Baby Boy. I ended up with boots that are around a size 4~ YES, 4 and they area already tight on him. According to a shoe website that’s like a 9-12 month shoe for the average babies feet! I was going to share just that size, but a friend, Summer, asked me to make a pair for her baby, a size 1. So I figured it out, and added those numbers to the pattern at the last min! (on another post now)
Baby wrap around boots:
materials:
caron simply soft yarn
large buttons
G6- 4 mm hook (To go up a size use a G-4.25mm, to go down a size use an f-3.75mm hook)
abbreviation:
ch (chain)
sl st (slip stitch)
sc (single crochet)
hdc (half double crochet)
dc (double crochet)
sc2tog (single crochet 2 together)
dc2tog (double crochet 2 together)
dc3tog (double crochet 3 together)
sole:
ch 13
row 1- sc in 2nd ch, sc 7 times, hdc 3 times, 7hdc in last ch, finish the rest of the round working along the back of the chain, hdc 3 times, sc 7 times, 4sc in the last/first ch, sl st to the first sc (32)
row 2- ch1, sc in same sc, sc 9 times, hdc, 2hdc 3 times, 3hdc, 2 hdc 3 times, hdc, sc 10 times, 2sc 3times, sl st to first sc (43)
row 3- ch2, hdc in same sc, hdc 11 times, *2hdc, 1hdc* 7 times, hdc 11 times, 2hdc, hdc, 2hdc twice, hdc, 2 hdc, sl st to first hdc (54)
shoe:
row 4- ch1, working in back stitches, sc around, sl st to first sc (54)
rows 5-6- ch1, sc around, sl st to first sc sc (54)
row 7ch1, sc in same sc, sc 12 times, sc2tog, dc2tog 7 times, sc2tog, sc around, sl st to first sc (45)
row 8- ch 1, sc in same sc, sc 10 times, sc2tog, dc2tog, dc, dc3tog, dc, dc2tog, sc2tog, sc around, sl st to first sc (39)
row 9- ch 1, sc in same sc, sc 8 times, sc2tog, dc2tog, dc3tog, dc2tog, sc2tog, sc around, sl st to first sc (33)
row 10- ch 1, sc in same sc, sc 6 times, sc2tog, dc, dc3tog, dc, sc2tog, sc around, sl st to first sc, cut yarn weave in ends. (29)
Boot cuff:
for the right boot sl st in the 8th stitch from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12th stitch from the seam
ch 15
row 1- dc in 4th ch from hook -first 3ch counts as first dc, dc in next 11 ch, dc in first sc (the one you sl st in), dc 24 times (there will be 4 spaces left), skip 3 spaces, sc in last space. (39)
row 2- ch3 (counts as dc), turn, dc in first dc and around 35 times, ch 1 skip one dc, dc in last 2 (38- with a ch1 space)
row 3- ch3 (counts as dc), turn, dc, dc in ch1 space, dc around (39)
row 4 scallops (girls)- turn, 5dc in second dc, *skip 1dc, sc in next dc, skip 1dc, 5dc in next dc*, repeat around (10 shells), sc down the side (I do 2 for each row so a total of 6 down the side), continuing around sc across the bottom along the original chain (13), sl st, cut yarn and weave in ends
row 4 simple (boys)- ch1, turn, sc across top (39), down the side (6) and across the bottom chain (13), sl st, cut yarn and weave in ends
Do you love them??? Considering the twins are HALF the size of Baby boy when he was born (let alone they don’t have his massive hobbit feet) I doubt they’ll even come close to fitting until they are at LEAST 9 months, maybe a year?? So next winter, perfect!
Don’t forget to add a button where ever you like and your done! I placed mine at the bottom of the 6th dc over from the front- I might go lower next time… or maybe two smaller buttons?
And one final picture, I thought you might want an inside shot so you can see how it wraps a bit… I’m still so very much in love with these boots. And when I finish Baby Boy’s I’ll post picture’s!!!
Pin It 
They are so cute, I can hardly stand it! I can’t wait to put them on Baby H! You rock!

I love the look of these booties and have been trying to figure out the formula to enlarge them to a size 7-8 to fit my 2 yr old daughter. I know its a bit of work but i was wondering if you could possibly tell me how much extra to add? I tried using the bigger pattern and adding 2 to everywhere you had added stiches from the smaller one but it still wasn’t big enough lol. Thank you for this wonderful pattern i love it!
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
February 17th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Try going up a hook size, as well. When I added 2 everywhere with a larger hook I got about a size 8! I hope that helps! I still have my larger bootie, I’ll add writing the pattern to my list of things to do!
[Reply]

HA! I’m into making things for babies, so an adult size isn’t something I plan on doing anytime soon, it’s all about Baby Boy these days! But I think taking a normal adult size bootie pattern and adding a few rows on for cufts and then the scalloped edge wouldn’t be TOO hard! It’s mostly about filling in above the foot

Having a store almost made me quit alltogether. So no, I don’t have a store, but if you have someone who knows how to crochet in your life send them over to get the pattern and make them for you!!! Sorry!

Thanks so much! I personally hate anything my feet, I don’t even own socks, slippers or flats (I’m either barefoot or in stilettos) so I doubt I’ll feel inspired enough to make a larger pattern! I would suggest making any favorite larger bootie pattern, making sure to fill in over the foot as close to the ankle as you can get while still fitting your foot inside, then use my baby pattern cuff as a base for making an adult size!
[Reply]
I love the booties, I’m following the pattern, but I’m somewhat confused to when the front of the shoe got sewn together. I don’t know if I didn’t follow the pattern correctly, or if the front is somehow crochet later. I got to row 10 and the front of my shoe is not together as shown in the photo. Can you please help me? I can read patterns but somehow this one has me stumped.
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
February 18th, 2012 at 11:33 am
I’m so sorry! I’m confused myself. the shoe is worked in round and nothing is ever sewn together. I think you missed something completely. The sole is made first , then building in the back chains the shoe is built up and in rounds until it’s tall enough then the cuff is added on. there is now sewing together. could you maybe send me a picture of where you started to get confused? When did it not look like the pictures?

absolutely love this pattern and really want to finish the pair i have started, however i am struggling with the boot cuff where it says “for the right boot sl st in the 8 stitches from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12 stitches from the seam then chain 15″ where is the seam is it where i sl st into the first stitch at the end of the previous rows or is it at the front of the boot and then it says ch 15, do i slip stich back down the chain and around the top of the boot to begin the first row of the cuff? would be so grateful if someone could explain this to me so i could finish them off. x
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
February 18th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
Yes to the first question, it’s from the seam left from where each row ends while making the shoe part. If I was better at this I’m sure I could swap it so the seam was on the inside of both boots, but I’m just not that good yet. The first Sl St before the chain is actually in the two sc2tog stitches but I thought saying that would be even more confusing. Does that help at all?
No to the 2nd question, once your done with the ch 15 you’ll dc in the 4th chain from the hook and start the DC’s around that create the first row of the cuff.

I just wanted to say how easy it is to follow your pattern. I have learned to crochet on my own and this is my first time following a pattern ever. Since I am really green to all of this could you please let me know how to connect the stitches when the multiple SC and DC come into the pattern. When it is forming the covering of the toes…so row 7. I wanting to thank you for offering this pattern for free and really would appreciate your help!

You’ll notice I said if you use a larger hook you’ll get larger booties? Mine were huge with just that change, like 2-3 sizes bigger. If it’s still not big enough (you can tell by just doing the sole, no need to do the whole bootie) then add 2 ch’s to the beginning and add 2 stitches on each side as you enlarge the sole/pattern… (think of it as near the heel so you don’t need to do any other increase, but 2 stitches on each side for length) and as you make the bootie part you might add an extra sc row for shoe height as well. Does that make any sense?
[Reply]
OMG! ive been trying to find a really good website on baby booties with pics!
everytime i tyrd with other websits that dont have pics i always have to take the whole thing apart and re-do everything and count, now that i found this website with pics now i know what im doing and not miss counting. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Ashlee Reply:
March 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 pm
good luck! I hope the pattern makes sense and you can follow it!
[Reply]
I had a similar issue
Ok, so it makes sense that the first SL ST before the chain is in the sc2tog for the one boot. For the other boot, do you start at the seam, do 11 sl st around the front until you get to the other side’s sc2tog
OR
do you start at the seam, 11 sl st around the back to get to the other side’s sc2tog?
Also, you say you have three sc left. Does this mean the front of the cuff is not actually attached to the boot part? It just folds over the front and appears to be attached?
Thank you SO much for your help! This pattern is ADORABLE and I can’t wait to finish the boots!
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
March 3rd, 2012 at 12:42 pm
the picture just above the cuff instructions shows the placement for starting the sl st for both the right and left cuffs. You start counting form the old seam and count towards the front. you’ll be starting both chains for the cuffs in the sc2tog stitches, one on each side, but I thought saying it that way would cause even more confusion. You should read some of the questions I get emailed about my patterns. I could spend hours everyday just responding to some of them.
as for your second question? I’m not sure what part your referring to, but the cuff does wrap around and attach with a button, could you give me a row number your having a hard time with?

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern, these are so cute I had to try to make them for my baby girl. I tried making the infant size first, but they were too small, I’ve made one shoe in this size (working on the cuff now) but it’s too big. Do you have any suggestions for a beginner on how I can adjust it for a six month size? Any help would be appreciated.
I think I came across your site through ravelry, found it last night and pinned it since then it has been pinned 26 times and liked 11! I love how easy your pattern was to follow, I’ve tried making a few boots/shoes and each time was unable to get them right, I’m so excited to finally get one right (even if she’ll have to grow into this pair : ) Maybe I can figure it out to make a smaller one in another color.
Thanks again!
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
March 3rd, 2012 at 1:01 pm
the patterns are just 2 stitches off each, so to adjust to a different size use smaller or larger hooks. My 4 month old has already grown out of this baby size, so going by months is not a good gauge. so use a larger hook for the infant version, or a smaller hook on this baby version. You can just do the sole as a guage, if it looks right finish the rest of the bootie, if not try again, no reason to make the whole shoe! Good luck!
[Reply]
Thanks for posting these darling boots. I am not very experienced in following patterns and am a bit confused. At the beginning of the cuff it says sl st in 8 stitches. I did a sl st in each of 8 stitches thinking this was for the part the flap wrapped over i wondered why you said to cut yarn at end of shoe but now I think I was suppose to sl st in the 8th stitch only to start the cuff with new piece of yarn. is that right? I want to make these for a friends twins. If I figure it out I’ll try to post pics. Such a darling patten. Thanks again for sharing your talent! (also forgive typing I’m doing this from my phone.

Ashlee Reply:
March 3rd, 2012 at 1:16 pm
okay, I reworded it a bit, you just do ONE sl st for each cuff, in the 8th stitch from the seam or the 12th stitch from the seam. Thank you so much!
[Reply]
I still can’t find the instructions for the right foot… am I missing it somewhere? I think Kathy Wysuph was asking how many “chains” you make once you slip stitch the 8 stitches from the seam. I got the left boot made…. let me know where I can find the pattern for the right boot.
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
March 3rd, 2012 at 2:47 pm
Boot cuff:
for the right boot sl st in the 8th stitch from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12th stitch from the seam
after that the cuff is made the same way for either side, ch, turn, dc around, turn, dc back, etc….
[Reply]
I’m having trouble with creating the right “sole” and then building the boot up from that. The instructions you have are definitely for a left boot. I understand the instructions for the right and left cuff. Thanks!
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
March 5th, 2012 at 8:48 am
the soles and boot part are symmetrical and therefore don’t have a right and left foot, the right and left are created by the cuffs. when you work in a round your work natrually starts to curve to one side, but once your done you can pull and stretch it out and once they are on the babies feet it doesn’t matter. But there is no right or left sole, they start with 7hdc at the tip and 5 sc at the end and the sides are even and it goes from there.
[Reply]
Im new at crocheting and am having some trouble reading the pattern. What does it mean, after 3 hdc, to 7hdc? Am I doing 7 HFCs in the same stich?
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:
March 5th, 2012 at 8:50 am
It helps if you tell me what row your having a hard time with. Are you talking about row one? then yes, 7 hdc in the last ch, the same stitch, it creates a half circle and then you work down the back stitches of the chain and create an oval to start your sole with.
[Reply]
I didn’t think about stretching the boot into shape…. duh! Thanks so much for your help. I can’t wait to get started on the other boot!

It is a bit trippy to look at at first, but I promise it will work out just fine. After wearing them for a day you can’t even tell they were ever a bit off

Hi,
My friend came across this pattern on Pinterest and shared it with me. I just started my own little baby crochet business via facebook. I am currently building up an inventory of various baby items and I would like to know if its okay if I sell booties using your pattern on my facebook page. I will be sure to include a link to your website and give you credit for the pattern.
Thanks so much!

I’m totally okay with you selling items made from my tutorials and patterns. just don’t sell the pattern please and if you could link back to my page for those people who want to make their own I’d appreciate it! Good luck with your store!

So um, I’ve tried making these quite a few times now, but I’m having trouble with the seam? If i start each round the way it says to, I end up with extra stitches and my seam moves backwards. If i go one forward and start the round in the stitch after the slip stitch, my seam curves forwards. I’ve only been crocheting a few months so I have no idea what I’m doing wrong, or how to fix it. It would be awesome if you could help!

I’m GUESSING that your doing one of two common mistakes. Either 1) your sl st in the ch1 from the beginning of the round instead of in the sc? That is my only guess about getting an extra stitch without seeing a picture. The other one 2) is accidentally sc in the sl st from the last row, thus adding an extra stitch. Make sure to ONLY sc in other sc’s. It’s TOTALLY common and I still do it sometimes and have to go back and count! your seam will move backwards a bit, that’s totally normal, but not an extra stitch!!

I love these so much that I would be super over-joyed if I could ever make it. I am left handed and pretty much self taught. I can crochet but I struggle. These are super adorable. Great job!!

Keep it up! I’ve been crocheting for 9 years and it just takes time and practice to get a feel for it! You’ll totally be able to do these!

Hi, I just began crochet n I saw these and I would love to make it! But it seems like its too complicated do u think you could make a video of you making it! Cuz that would be awesome! Or if you could write out exactly what I am suppose to do for row 2 ” row 2- ch1, sc in same sc, sc 9 times, hdc, 2hdc 3 times, 3hdc, 2 hdc 3 times, hdc, sc 10 times, 2sc 3times,
sl st to first sc (43)”
Like I am suppose to sc 9 times n then what does 2hdc three times mean? Like 2 hdc in the next three?
Sorry to bother you but I would really like to learn how to make these. Thanks in advance!

when the number is after the stitch: sc 9 times, it’s in the next 9 stitches
when the number is BEOFRE the stitch: 3hdc it’s in the SAME stitch
so 2hdc 3 times is 2hdc in the next 3 stitches

Hi.
Does it make a difference what yarn you use? Because i have sugar n’ cream yarn and for some reason my bootie looks much bigger than yours? I’m also use a size 4.0 mm hook,

I’m sure it does, but the way you crochet will make the biggest difference, tight or loose. But they ARE big shoes, as I said my baby that I made these for has HUGE feet. The twins I made both of these for probably won’t fit them until they are one! you can try the smaller version, the infant size.

These booties are adorable!! My cousin is expecting twin girls this August and I would love to make two pairs since everything I am making is in twos
The pattern seems very simple and i’m just a beginner at crocheting so I always read to pattern to make sure I can understand it before I start. My question to you is on the sole portion you have, 2hdc 3 times, 3hdc, 2 hdc 3 times, on the 2nd row. Are the 2 hdc in the same stitch and then I just repeat 3 times, then 3 hdc in the same stitch..etc?? Everyone writes their patterns different so this is always were I get tired up!! I would greatly appreciate your advice so that I can make these. Thanks again, and thanks for sharing the pattern!!!

Hey there! These are just TOO cute! i’ve made my first little bootie of the boys version and while it’s a little bit funny looking at the moment i can tell that it will sit ok when on baby’s foot. My question though is that, even though the shape obviously ok, when I did the ‘dc2tog 7 times’ on row 7, it doesn’t end up anywhere close to being in the centre of the toe of the boot. And in the finished product, all the beautiful detail at the toe sits off centre. Like it’s at least 4 stitches to more to one side. But i’ve checked the number of stitches again and again. You said that the sides are symmetrical, so is this something that sorts itself out when on baby’s foot too? cos I really don’t see how it can be right? Thanks!!

Hi there – love these!! Was wondering what weight the wool you used is?? (I’m from New Zealand, and I haven’t seen the wool you used before) Thank you:)
