FREE CROCHET PATTERN: Super cute Mini booties

You will find it is very easy to follow even for beginners.

For this pattern you will need:

-       two contrasting colors of cotton yarn

I use Unitas Mirabela. You can also use some of these brands if they are available to you for my patterns Aunt Lydia's fashion 3 size 100% Mercerized cotton or "Patons Grace" 100% mercerized cotton.

-       3 mm crochet hook

-       yarn needle

-       button or bead

You will use a double strand of cotton yarn for this pattern.

That means you will hold two strands together to create one strand while crocheting.

Stitches used:

-       ch - chain

-       sc - single crochet

-       hdc - half double crochet

-       dc - double crochet

-       tr – treble crochet

-       slst - slip stitch

Size of the bootie is about 7 cm (2.8 in) length, 5 cm (2 in) width and 2,5 (1 in) height.

 

This pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms.

LET'S START!!!

First you will make the sole.

Work in round.

Start by making 10 chains.

1st round:

Make dc in the third chain from the hook, make another 6 dc in next 6 ch, make 4 dc in last ch, make 7 dc on the other side of foundation chain, join with slst in ch 2 space from beginning.

2nd round:

Ch 1, make 2 sc in each next 2 dc from previous round, 1 sc in next 4 dc, 2 sc in each next 6 dc, 5 sc, 2 sc in next dc, 2 sc in slst, slst in first sc from beginning.

3rd round:

Ch 1, make 2 sc in each next 3 sc from previous round, 6 sc, *1 hdc in next sc, 2 hdc in next sc (repeat from * 4 more times), 1 hdc, 6 sc, 2 sc in the each next 2 sc, 2 sc in slst, slst in first sc from beginning. Fasten off.

UPPER PART:

Row 1: Attach contrasting color and make ch 1, go around the sole making sc, slst in the ch 1 from the beginning. In this row and rows 2 and 3 you should have 38 stitches. (don’t count slst and chain)

To make the first row of the upper part follow the pictures:

Row 2 and 3: Ch 1, 1 sc in every stitch around, slst in the ch 1 from the beginning.

Row 4: Ch 1, 1 sc in next 28 stitches, ch 1, turn your work, skip one stitch, 1 hdc in next, skip one, 1 hdc in next, skip one, 1 dc in next, skip one, 1 dc in next, skip one, 1 tr in next, skip one, 1 dc in next, skip one, 1 dc in next, skip one, 1 hdc in next, skip one, 1 hdc in next, ch 1, turn, insert your hook through the next stitch (the last hdc that you made) yarn over, pull through, *insert hook through the next stitch, yarn over, pull through, repeat from * until you have 10 loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through all 10 loops on the hook, yarn over, pull through and tighten as much as you can, make 2 slst, 1 sc in every stitch to the end (you will have 10 sc until the end of the row), slst in the ch 1 from the beginning.

 Row 5: Ch 1, 1 sc in next 10 stitches, ch 7, 1 sc in last 10 stitches from previous row, slst in the ch 1 from the beginning. Fasten off.

Now turn the bootie and make the row of sc through the last row of the sole holding only one strand of yarn. Make 1 sc in first stitch, 2 sc in next, *1 sc in next, 2 sc in next, repeat from * to the end, slst in the 1^st sc from the beginning. Fasten off.

 

For the blue ones I tied a button, and for the pink ones I made a tiny flower holding only one strand of yarn and tied it with the bead to the bootie.

To make the flower do the following:

Start with ch 3, dc in 3rd chain from the hook (first chain that you made, this one is acting like a magic ring so you will be able to tighten it at the end), ch 2, sc into that first chain again (make all stitches in first chain), *ch 2, 1 dc into the chain, ch 2, sc into the chain, repeat from * 4 more times.

Pull the starting tail as hard as you can to tighten the flower.

Fasten off and tie a knot.

Wave in all ends and you are done! I hope you enjoyed it!
