🧦 How To Make These Baby Booties:

  1. Crochet the Sole:
    Start with a short chain and crochet around both sides to form an oval sole. This forms the base of the bootie.

  2. Shape the Sides:
    Use single crochet stitches to build up the sides, working in the back loop to create a clean edge.

  3. Form the Toe:
    Use sc2tog (single crochet two together) to decrease stitches at the toe area and shape the front of the bootie.

  4. Secure the Fit:
    Slightly gather the top if needed using the tail yarn. This helps it fit snugly around the baby’s ankle.

  5. Repeat and Finish:
    Make a second bootie in the same way. Weave in ends, and your set is ready!
