FREE Crochet Pattern – Blue Whale

FREE Crochet Pattern - Blue Whale

Hi, everyone! Today I will share with you a very simple crochet baby pattern for little baby shoes. They are made with this beautiful blue yarn. I was using a darker one for the sole and a lighter shade for the upper part.

I choose dark blue 1.5 cm big wooden buttons to attach the strap on outer sides of the shoe and just a few strands of dark blue yarn for the slip stitch edging around the straps to make them more playful and fun.

But I am sure they will come out amazing in any color you decide to go with. Have fun with the pattern and happy crocheting!


VIDEO TUTORIAL

Watch this video and follow the step by step tutorial to learn how to make these adorable crochet baby booties from start to finish. Please consider subscribing to my channel, turning on post notification and joining my crochet family on YouTube.


YOU WILL NEED:

  • YARN: Aran weight yarn – Paintbox Cotton Aran – this is 100% cotton yarn, there is 50 g (1.75 oz) and 85 m ( 93 yds) of yarn in one skein. I used two colors: Dolphin Blue (637) and Duck Egg Blue (636) You can find the yarn here.
  • CROCHET HOOK: 3.5 mm or E/4 crochet hook or a hook to obtain the gauge.
  • OTHER: two stitch markers, tapestry needle, and scissors.

*Please Note! This pattern was originally designed with a thicker DK weight yarn that can be hard to find and buy worldwide, therefore I provided a great substituting yarn that I use for my crochet projects all the time.


STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS:

  • st/sts – stitch/stitches
  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • hdc – half double crochet
  • Dc – double crochet
  • Sc2tog – single crochet two stitches together
  • Hdc2tog – half double crochet two stitches together
  • Dc2tog – double crochet two stitches together
  • MC – main color – dark blue
  • CC – contrast color – light blue
  • BLO – back loops only

PATTERN NOTES:

  • The sole and the upper part in written in rounds and the strap is written in rows. At the end of each round join the round with a ss. After each row turn and make a chain to lift a row.
  • How to read a pattern: If the number is written before the stitch 3 hdc work 3 hdc into the same stitch. If the number is written after the stitch hdc 3, work hdc into next 3 stitches
  • Repeat what is written in the () as many times as it’s written right after the (). For an example: Repeat (2 hdc, hdc 1) 5 times. It means that you have to repeat the sequence work 2 hdc sts into the same st, 1 hdc into the next one 5 times. And you will get 5 additional sts by doing that.
  • Use a stitch marker to mark your first stitch of the row/round.
  • Gauge: 24 sts and 14 rows in hdc measure 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm)
  • The pattern is written in US crochet terms.
  • This is a pattern for 0 – 6 months (6 – 12 months)

Really nice pattern and well described. I nearly finished one shoe but I have Problems at the end. I’m where you said “Start in the 11th stich… crochet towards the toes than heel”. And then you said “row 7:…”
What do I have to do exactly. Shall I heel the yarn in stich 11 and start again there with row 7 or could you maybe describe a bit more detailed. Kind regards!

Reply
Doroteja September 8, 2015 - 10:21

Hi Steffi!
The flip part is different for the left and the right shoe. You finish the “upper part of the shoe” with the round 6. Then you have to start both shoes with Row 7. Row, because you do not work in round after the round 6 any more. If you follow the instructions .. the first shoe will be right shoe. After round 6 fasten off and start in the 11th for the small size and 14th if you work on the bigger size, stitch and start from there row 7. Create ch into the first stitch (into 11th or 14th), just to join the yarn with the shoe. Than continue as written as in the instructions. Maybe could help: Let’s say you work on the smaller size. Your first stitch will be 11th stitch, the next one will be 12th, 13th and so on (for your right shoe!). At the end of the row 7, just turn and start with the row 8. 🙂 For the left shoe: Start in 17th or 19th stitch from the heel (picture) and your second stitch will be 16th and 18th, than 15th and 17th. Hope it helps. 🙂

This is an awesome pattern, but, it doesn’t even allow a “copy and paste”??

Hello Midge
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am very sorry, but because so many people stole my patterns in the past and post them on their websites or blogs I’ve decided to copy protect all of the content on my blog. I work for my patterns very hard and I put a lot of my free time and all my love to crafting into them, so when I find my work somewhere else than on my personal blog (people actually copy and paste the whole post!) … well it’s just sad an I don’t know why would someone do something like that. 🙁
You can not copy and paste the pattern any more, but my new blog design have a reading mode option. If you click on the post, you can see that in the right corner of the post is written “enter reading mode”. If you click on it, the page will go into reading mode, this means that there will be no side bars or anything that would bother you when reading the post. The second option is to print the pattern, but I admit, it’s not really print friendly, because the post is a photo tutorial.
Hope it helps.

Happy crocheting!

Very cute booties 😄 but I was confused by the end of round 6. You did not write, if there should be fastened of. So I didn’t know how to get to the 11’th, stich. Eventually I just tried as best I could, and found it out.
Also, my increases are not as nice as on the pictures. It’s like there forms edges..

Otherwise, they are really cute and easy to make ☺️

Hi Designer, I’m in a big trouble. Help me out pleaseee….
I’m new beginner in the crocheting. I look at your pattern and I’d like to make one for my son with some modifications (doing more rows while making the sole until 70sts, since my baby foot is bigger than the pattern did). Now I’m stuck in round 3 of upper part of shoe. Starting on round 3, I did make 23sts in the beginning, hdc2tog, and (repeat hdc2tog, hdc in next 2 five times), hdc2tog, and 23sts in the last (63sts).
round 4 I start 20sts in beginning, hdc2tog, (repeat hdc2tog, hdc in next 2 four times), hdc2tog, hdc in next 1, hdc2tog, and 20sts in the last (56sts).
round 5 I start using round 3 in your pattern and gets 50sts at last. and continue the next round based on your pattern.
but, the results I got on my bootie is looks lopsided (more tilted to the right) and I just feel upset seeing my bootie looks like.
could you help me to fix this out since it’s been a week for trying but still do not get the beautiful booties as yours.
many thanks to you if you reply me willingly.

Doroteja September 23, 2015 - 11:33

Hi Yulia Stacie!
It’s very important to begin each round in the same stitch. I usually start in the base of the chain and continue all the way around. What I would do in your case is, to not join the round with a ss, but just continue next round. Just be careful in your last round when ending the sole. Finish with a few ss stitches just to even the rounds on the heel. Hope it helps 🙂

Kind regards,
Doroteja

Reply
Doroteja September 23, 2015 - 11:35

Hi Yulia Stacie!
I think you will need a bigger hook. 🙂 But be careful, when using a larger hook or a thicker yarn, the final size of your item will be bigger too! 🙂

I really like how the right boogie turned out. I have completed the left one several times and cannot make it look the same after the flip and chain. Is there something I am doing wrong with the chain? It looks backwards of the right shoe, like I am seeing the back of the stitch. Any advice would help. Thanks!

Reply
Doroteja October 21, 2015 - 10:55

Hi Beth!
Thank you for your comment. 🙂
Left and right flip are not the same in the pattern, because I thought it would be easier to understand this way, but as I can see now, it’s just more confusing. 🙂
You can try to do it a bit different as written in the pattern and start in 18th stitch than Ch 1 and hdc into the same stitch. Hdc into next 21. Sc into next 2 and ss into the last one. Ch 1. Turn. Skip 1st st (ss from row 7!), sc into next 2. Hdc into next 24. Than ch 16. Now start to work into lower stitch of the chain. Start in 6th chain from the hook. Hdc into next 10. Finish with ss into the first hdc in the row 7! In this case both flips (left and right) wold be same. You can try it. 🙂

Hope it helps 🙂

This is the absolute cutest pattern I have seen for baby boy booties! I am going to try and make this, though I have to learn how to go from flat crocheting to crocheting in the round.

Is there a way to make these booties with snap closures instead of buttons? I am afraid that with my inexperience in bootie making that I may not sew good enough yet to have a strong button hold. I wouldn’t want the button to come off to be swallowed or choked on.

Even my husband, who is not really into the homemade look of crochet or knit items thought these were adorable!

Doroteja October 14, 2015 - 15:19

Hi!
Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
About the flip and the button part … I would try instead of “Start in the 6th chain from the hook.”, start in the 2nd chain from the hook. Than hdc into next 16 sts ( first 5 sts are because you do not have a chain/ loop for the button any more, than 11 sts as written in the pattern, together 16 sts). Than continue as written in the pattern. 🙂 Hope it helps 🙂

the pattern is written in 2 sizes: 0 – 6 months (6 – 12 months). If you would like to make them a little bit smaller than in size 0 – 6 months, use a smaller crochet hook; 3.25 mm or 3.0 mm. 🙂

Adorable pattern, thank you! I have been on a baby bootie binge. However, no pair is identical. I think my problem is not understanding where to join at the end of the round. For this pattern, do I join in the chain and start the next stitch in that chain? Or, do I join and start in the first stitch of the round before? I get confused because your instructions (and many others) say not to count the ss or the chain as a stitch. I would be so grateful to you if you could clear this up for me.

Reply
Doroteja December 15, 2015 - 13:11

Hi Connie
I do not count ss as a stitch, because it’s just a help to join the round and I do not crochet into ss in next round as I do in all other sts. I always start the round in the same stitch, in the base of the chain.
Sometimes it’s not the problem in stitches that your final items are not the same size when you finish them. It could be tension. Beginners are most of the time very tight crocheters and its normal that they will produce more stitches per inch as it’s written in the pattern even if they use recommended hook or the same yarn (brand and type) the pattern recommends. 🙂 Even if you and I would compare our tensions, and let’s say we are both experienced crocheters, the tensions would most probably not be the same. It gets better with time and experience. 🙂

Hope it helps 🙂

Hi..may I know how long is the sole after Round 3 for both sizes? I made one in the 0-6 months size but it looks very small whereas my gauge is correct.

Reply
Doroteja December 18, 2015 - 17:03

Hi
the final size of the booties should be: 0 – 6 months – 9.5 cm/ 3.75 in and 6 – 12 months – 11.0/ 4.25 in. I would recommend you to do is (because you will probably use different yarn brand or type) to crochet one sole first, if you like the size, continue if not, try with different yarn or hook.

I love this pattern. I finished the right one, very happy 🙂 But then in the left shoe, you make 16 chains and then after the turn you start in the 6th and crochet 10 hdc. In the right shoe you do the same but then 11 hdc. Why the difference?

Doroteja May 4, 2016 - 14:08

Hi Marijke
There should be 11 on both. Thanks! 🙂

Hello! this pattern is beautiful!, I have a doubt.
In Round 4 said
Ch 1. Sc into the same st. Sc into next 11 (14). Hdc 1. Hdc2tog. Dc2tog into next 4. Hdc2tog. Hdc into the next one. Sc into next 12 (15). Join the round with ss.
That Dc2tog into next 4 means Dc2tog 4 times? Because if is in to next 4 stitches I ‘ll have a gap to fill.

Hi Evelyn
it means “Repeat dc2tog 4 times” 🙂

Hi. I’m quite new to crocheting, so could you please explain this to me, on the left shoe as I find it confusing.
“Start in the 17th (19th) stitch from the heel”

Hi, i love tour pattern but i’m stuck on row 6: the part where you have to hdc 22 do you hdc in the ss or not ?

Reply
Doroteja January 15, 2017 - 11:40

Hi, Gina!
Ss does not count as a stitch unless otherwise stated in the pattern. The Ss is just a joining stitch and I do not use it as a stitch. Hope it helps. Kind wishes, Doroteja 🙂

Good day
I am confused by the previous comments that refer to Row 8. As far as I can see the pattern ends on Row 7, or am I missing something?

Reply
Doroteja July 3, 2017 - 12:02

Hi, Bianca!
If there is something that you are unsure how to do it in the written pattern, just jump to the video tutorial. 🙂
There is no row 8 in the final version of this pattern 😀

Please help me I am going OUT OF MY MIND!!! I have tried to do the strap 10 times already and it always comes out backwards, however \i turn it it always seems to be back to front and curling down the wrong way!! Please could you explain what i’m doing wrong 🙁 🙁

Hello, I have done and redone the soles of the booties countless times! I finally discovered I need to count at the end of each round. (Duh!) so I took them out again and redid one. I counted after the first round and came up with one extra stitch! Not sure how? Any ideas? I’m being careful not to count the slip stitch.

Hello, your pattern for this calls for the DK weight cotton yarn & I think you used the Paintbox. but looking at your video & pictures the yarn looks a lot thicker. also it is noted that the gauge is different from the Paintbox yarn,,,help
thank you
Judy

Reply
Doroteja March 8, 2018 - 14:41

Hi Judy
The yarn I used for this pattern is very hard to find and I think also discontinued, which is now because it’s super nice yarn, 100% cotton and organic. The best replacement I could find for this pattern was DK weight 100% cotton Paintbox yarn. If you think it’s too hard to try with a little bit thicker yarn, maybe Drops Cotton Light, which is not 100% cotton, but still very nice and available in so many different colors. The only negative thing about it is that it tends to split sometimes. You can even try with Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton which is a great yarn. And if the gauge is really way off and you still need thicker yarn, you can also try with Paintbox Aran. 🙂 Happy crocheting! 🙂

Hi. Cute shoes. The video and written instructions are contradicting. At the end of the first row (chain row), the video is 5 hdc in last chain, but the written says 6. Which one is correct? Thank you.

Hi! I’d like to make these shoes in a bit bigger size (with about 6 inch soles). Can you please tell me what I should do? Should I continue with a fourth round where I make 2 hdc and then hdc 2 where it says 2 hdc and hdc 1 in the third round? Please help me out. I love this pattern!

Hello,. I am new in crochet, but I love this pattern. I already made it for my child once, but now I want to make it again for all 3 of us. Do you have any suggestion on how to adapt the patern for bigger sizes? I already prepared the soles, but I am a little stuck in the upper part 🙈
Thabk you for your help. This is the best pattern from all the internet 🥰

Reply
Doroteja March 17, 2021 - 11:22

Thank you for your kind words. 😊
I usually make decreases around the toes only. I start with just a few hdc2tog sts and I continue with more and more dc2tog sts every round I make until I like the shape. 😊
