🧦 How To Make These Baby Booties:
-
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. -
Shape the Sides:
Use single crochet stitches to build up the sides, working in the back loop to create a clean edge. -
Form the Toe:
Use sc2tog (single crochet two together) to decrease stitches at the toe area and shape the front of the bootie. -
Secure the Fit:
Slightly gather the top if needed using the tail yarn. This helps it fit snugly around the baby’s ankle. -
Repeat and Finish:
Make a second bootie in the same way. Weave in ends, and your set is ready!
