My latest obsession... crocheted booties!

These are so cute, even my husband admitted to playing with them when I wasn't there! It doesn't hurt that they're super easy and quick to make (I timed myself... one hour, one minute, and fifty six seconds to make the purple pair).

Fellow hookers:

Here's the pattern I used: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/simple-crossover-bootie

If you want to make these, I suggest a few alterations to the pattern... 4.0 mm hook, ch 1 at the end of each row, turn, and sc in each sc across (I don't know why the designer did that weird ch 2, sc in 2nd sc, etc.), end at 20 rows, and slip stitch the sides together instead of sewing.

Re: My latest obsession... crocheted booties!

  • Well done! I need to get back to knitting. I sewed similar booties for DD, but these would be warmer and cuter.

    Thanks! I have been knitting for years and only recently picked up crocheting. Now I hardly ever pick up my needles! The best thing about this pattern is that you don't have to worry about rounding toes and shaping heels... so simple!

  • Adorable! If we were having a girl I'd crochet some roller skate booties and a mermaid tail, I've seen both in photographs and they're so cute!
  • i need to dig into my scrap yarn and see what colors i have.  these are stupidly simple.

  • Cute! My mom has made us several pair, and I love them. Also these hats for DS.

    I never thought of her as a "hooker" - I don't know if I can use that term!
  • I've made a few of these... Super easy. I'm misslizzy82 if anyone wants to add me.

    Crocheted BOOTIES are cute, though!

  • Ahh! So precious!! Great job!
  • I need to get back into crocheting. I taught myself and then started to write my thesis.....That was about two and a half years ago. Whoops.

    Those look super easy though.

  • Is this something I could make fairly easily if I learned how to crochet? I'm looking for a reason...

    It is relatively simple since it is all single crochet and slip stiches however I'm not sure if it's the easiest pattern to get started with. You could certainly try it! Also YouTube can be a great resource for learning how to crochet and I know there are a ton of baby booty videos on there for beginners :)

    It's pretty much the only website I use for patterns!

  • Headed out to buy yarn ASAP! Thanks for sharing!
