Hello, everyone! I hope you are having an amazing day. Today I would like to share with you a pattern for cute crochet baby flats/booties for little girls. They are made with gray yarn and have a big colorful bow on the front which is attached to the left and right front part of the shoe. The pattern is very easy and beginner friendly. But if you will have any troubles along the way, jump to the video tutorial that will show you step by step instruction on how to make this little shoes from the strat to the finish.
For this tutorial, I was using some Extra Fine Merino yarn, but they can be made with cotton or polyester yarn as well. Lately, I have been using some great cotton yarns, that might become one of my favorites (here!). They are super easy to use and they come in such a great variety of different colors. But you can use any yarn you like, as long as the gauge is correct and they come out in the right size and shape.We all know these two might be a problem. When I first started, I had to make, not just one pair, but three, four sometimes, even more shoes (not pairs of shoes, single ones :)) before I could find two that were the same size. 🙂

PATTERN NOTES
- The pattern is written in rounds. 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: 22 sts and 24 rows in sc measure 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm)
- You can find this crochet pattern available as an inexpensive, ad-free, beautifully designed photo tutorial PDF in my Etsy (here!), Ravelry (here!) and Love Crochet (here!) shop. The pattern includes additional size (6 – 12 months).

i love these and have found both your video tutorial s and written patterns so easy to follow.
i would love to make them in a bigger size for my friends little girl she is 18 mths and her foot measurements are 13cm, have you a pattern for these in this size?, im fairly new to crochet so haven’t quite developed the skills to increase the size myself!
Thanks

Hi Lorna!
The easiest way is to use a larger crochet hook and a thicker yarn than the one specified in the pattern. Crochet one sole, then check if the final size of the sole is the size you want. If yes, continue on the upper part. If no, try with a larger crochet hook and a thicker yarn. You can read more about it HERE.
Hello! I was wondering if it is necessary to chain 1 at the start of every row, after the SS? You do it in the video but it is not written in the pattern, so I am not sure. Thank you 😀
Hi Pam! Yes. You have to do it to lift the row/round. 🙂
I was also wondering if I should start each row knitting the same stitch as the SS, or the next one?
You should start each row in the last st from the previous row and each round in the very first stitch from the previous round. Ss is just a joining st and does not count as a real st. But it can come useful if the back seam on the booties is a bit off. Then I usually start in the 2nd st of the round and push the entire round for one st on the right and end the round with my last st into the ss to achieve the same number of sts as written in the pattern.
do you have this pattern in adult sizes
