Simple Baby Slippers

-

Today I have decided to show you how to crochet a simple one piece baby bootie. For this tutorial you will need to know how to chain (ch), single crochet (sc) and single crochet in the back loop only (blo.) 


You will also need to know how to change yarn colors. (Many good tutorials are online.) 


The materials you will need are 1 to 1 ½ ounces of main color yarn, ½ to 1 ounce of contrasting color. Lastly you will need scissors and a darning needle. 


Sizes come in (0-3 mo, 3-6 mo, 6-12 mo.) 


Pattern stitch count will be in parenthesis in order of size. 


To begin, make a ch of (17, 21, 23.) Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. You have made (16, 20, 22) sts. 


For Rows 2 - 11 you will ch 1 and turn and sc in each of the (16, 20, 22) sts across. 




The next step is optional but I like to do it for a more finished look. Ch 1 and turn work to the raw side. Make 11 sc across this side.Now ch 1 and turn work to beginning ch edge. Sc in each of the next (16, 20, 22) sts. Ch 1 and make 11 sts up the next raw edge. Ch 1 and sc in each of the next (16, 20, 22) sts. 


Change to white yarn in last st. Now you will begin to work each st in the blo. Ch 1, turn and sc in the blo of the next (8, 10, 11) sts] leaving the remaining sts unworked. 


Rep this row once more, ending with changing to blue yarn in last st. Rep the above 2 rows using blue yarn. Switch once again to white in the last st.


Repeat these 4 rows (2 rows white and 2 rows blue) until you have (4, 5, 6) sections of white and (3, 4, 5) sections of blue and have ended with a white section. 


End off leaving a long tail for sewing. With right sides together, fold toe over as shown below. Sew narrow edge to blue piece. Secure your yarn but do not end off. 


Begin to gather the toe top edge as shown below.Secure tightly and weave in end. Sew bottom seam next and fold down top cuff. 


Options: Sew button, bow or pom-pom to the gathered edge is desired. Fold down the cuff and sew the bottom to leave a casing and run a Ribbon or cord through to tie up front. After you see the dimensions, try another pattern st. The possibilities of this little bootie are endless.
