Pattern info

Each round of the booties ends with a sl st made into the first st and then 1 chain, this chain does not count as a stitch.

To make it easier I recommend putting a stitch marker in the first st each round since this is where your sl st will go.

Please take extra care when making items for small children. Make sure everything is sewn in place and secure.

You can check out my collected pattern info below if you need more guidance when working with one of my patterns.

Pro tip

To get the perfect size baby booties

To make both booties the same size, I highly recommend crocheting them in the same session. My tension can vary even if I just get up to drink a glass of water, and small items are sensitive to tension changes

Size 0-3 months approx. 7.5 cm
