FREE Crochet Pattern – Blue Whale

written by Doroteja August 10, 2015

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 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!

YARN: For this pattern, I am using some 100% cotton DK weight yarn in gray and blue. You can use any color you prefer. (here!)

CROCHET HOOK: You will need one size only. That’s 3.5 mm or E/4 crochet hook. I am using my aluminum crochet hook with a plastic handle. I have no idea where did I buy this hook But I will try to find something similar. (here!)

STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS

st/sts – stitch/stitches

sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
Dc – double crochet
Sc2tog – join two single crochet together
(H)Dc2tog – join two (half) double crochet together
MC – main color – dark blue

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)

[…] I love the colors used to make these adorable little Baby booties. Such a cute and handsome style for a little boy. The pattern is easy to follow and can be found for free over at Crobypatterns.com. […]

Steffi September 8, 2015 at 09:45

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!

Doroteja September 8, 2015 at 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. 🙂

Steffi September 17, 2015 at 14:44

Thanks for your help. I finished the shoes last weekend. There are so lovely. Thanks for the great instructions 🙂

Midge September 9, 2015 at 18:52

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

Doroteja September 10, 2015 at 10:01

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!

Midge September 10, 2015 at 11:35

I will look at the print option. That will help considerably. Thank you so much. Anxious to make the booties. 🙂

Midge September 10, 2015 at 11:40

Can’t find the print option??

Doroteja September 10, 2015 at 12:45

You can find the print option in your browser options. I am using Chrome and the print option is in the right corner, you can find it if you click on the button with 3 little lines.
Hope it helps! 🙂

Midge September 10, 2015 at 13:00

Yes, that helped, thank you very much.

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 at 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

yulia stacie September 22, 2015 at 02:30

I’m beginner and love’d to try to make one of this pattern. What if i used 2 strands of DK yarn ? Is it okay if use the same hook or should use the bigger one ?

Doroteja September 23, 2015 at 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! 🙂

Shari September 22, 2015 at 18:32

These are adorable! I can’t wait to make a pair! Thank you!

Doroteja September 23, 2015 at 11:37

Hi Shari!
Thank you so much! 🙂

deroubaix September 25, 2015 at 16:45

Très joli site

Beth September 28, 2015 at 14:53

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!

Doroteja October 21, 2015 at 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 🙂

Beth October 24, 2015 at 04:42

Thanks! I like the way that looks better! Very cute pattern and I hope to make many more!

volo October 5, 2015 at 17:08

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 at 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 🙂

SAM October 23, 2015 at 12:49

Hi Doroteja,

I love your patterns!

I’m stuck in round 5 the part that says Repeat dc2tog three (five) times, does that means to dc2tog three times in the same stitch 5 times?

Doroteja October 26, 2015 at 11:17

Hi! 🙂
dc2tog 3 times for the smaller size and dc2tog 5 times for the bigger size 🙂 Dc2tog = join next two sts with dc2tog. 🙂

Beverly October 28, 2015 at 16:43

Love your various patterns. I like to make them and donate the items. Thank you so much for sharing.

Brenda November 16, 2015 at 14:50

can you tell me what i would need to do to make these in a newborn size?

Doroteja November 16, 2015 at 20:23

Hi Brenda,
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. 🙂

Brenda November 16, 2015 at 20:26

what weight yarn do you suggest for this hook size – I use Lion Brand or Red Heart – worsted weight

Connie Hall December 2, 2015 at 01:52

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.

Doroteja December 15, 2015 at 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 🙂

Atif Zaidi December 17, 2015 at 09:43

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.

Doroteja December 18, 2015 at 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.

Örgü Bahçem December 30, 2015 at 22:44

These models are great.Thanks

Keren January 5, 2016 at 10:23

I was looking and trying lots of baby shoes pattern and this is by far the best. The instruction are clear and the sole nice and flat. I love it. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Tova January 7, 2016 at 03:27

Love the pattern! I’ve already made 2 pairs, they really work up quick. Is the yarn you used a worsted weight? Thank you so much.

Doroteja January 10, 2016 at 22:08

You are very welcome. I use DK weight, 100% cotton yarn 🙂

Round three of the upper boot. Maybe I’m counting wrong but I do not get it to reduce to 38 stitches. I come up short.

Doroteja March 29, 2016 at 10:25

It’s 38. 🙂 Make sure not to count ss or chain as a stitch! 🙂

Marijke May 1, 2016 at 18:45

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 at 14:08

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

Renate Cyrulla May 8, 2016 at 09:49

Thank you so much for your beautiful baby bootie pattern. It turned out very nice and I enjoyed making it !

Evelyn May 20, 2016 at 03:55

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.

Doroteja May 23, 2016 at 07:32

Hi Evelyn
it means “Repeat dc2tog 4 times” 🙂

Maureen June 11, 2016 at 05:26

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 ?

Doroteja January 15, 2017 at 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 🙂

Thank you very much for all your lovely patterns. They are really easy to follow and the foto’s are great. I made a few of these booties and donated them for charity 🙂

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?

Doroteja July 3, 2017 at 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 🙁 🙁

Doroteja August 23, 2017 at 22:09

Hi Bella! Did you try to follow the video tutorial?

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

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! 🙂
