I am SO excited to share this tutorial with you. My cousin just had twins last week so I made a boy and girl version! Of course I made them to fit my model so they won’t fit the twins for SOME time. But they are precious!
Yes, I made my sweet little boy wear the girls boots for this picture. Better than a skirt or something, right?
I love the scallops on the girl version, but the boy version is adorable too! I started with a size to fit my model, Baby Boy.
I ended up with boots that are around a size 4~ YES, 4 and they area already tight on him. According to a shoe website that’s like a 9-12 month shoe for the average babies feet!
I was going to share just that size, but a friend, Summer, asked me to make a pair for her baby, a size 1. So I figured it out, and added those numbers to the pattern at the last min! (on another post now)

UPDATE: after some confusion I separated the pattern, the larger version is still right here, comparable to a size 4, and the smaller crochet wrap around button infant boot is on it’s own post.

shoe:
row 4- ch1, working in back stitches, sc around, sl st to first sc (54)
rows 5-6- ch1, sc around, sl st to first sc sc (54)
row 7ch1, sc in same sc, sc 12 times, sc2tog, dc2tog 7 times, sc2tog, sc around, sl st to first sc (45)

Boot cuff:
for the right boot sl st in the 8th stitch from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12th stitch from the seam
ch 15
row 1- dc in 4th ch from hook -first 3ch counts as first dc, dc in next 11 ch, dc in first sc (the one you sl st in), dc 24 times (there will be 4 spaces left), skip 3 spaces, sc in last space. (39) **note – some people had a problem with getting two right or two left feet. remember to not cross over the front, work down the inside, around the back and back up the outside, so you’ll work in opposite directions for each bootie, counterclock wise – looking top down, or “wrong” side out for the right booties and clockwise, or “right” side out for the left bootie**
row 2- ch3 (counts as dc), turn, dc in first dc and around 35 times, ch 1 skip one dc, dc in last 2 (38- with a ch1 space)
row 3- ch3 (counts as dc), turn, dc, dc in ch1 space, dc around (39)
row 4 scallops (girls)- turn, 5dc in second dc, *skip 1dc, sc in next dc, skip 1dc, 5dc in next dc*, repeat around (10 shells), sc down the side (I do 2 for each row so a total of 6 down the side), continuing around sc across the bottom along the original chain (13), sl st, cut yarn and weave in ends
row 4 simple (boys)- ch1, turn, sc across top (39), down the side (6) and across the bottom chain (13), sl st, cut yarn and weave in ends
Do you love them??? Considering the twins are HALF the size of Baby boy when he was born (let alone they don’t have his massive hobbit feet) I doubt they’ll even come close to fitting until they are at LEAST 9 months, maybe a year?? So next winter, perfect!
Don’t forget to add a button where ever you like and your done! I placed mine at the bottom of the 6th dc over from the front- I might go lower next time… or maybe two smaller buttons?
And one final picture, I thought you might want an inside shot so you can see how it wraps a bit… I’m still so very much in love with these boots. And when I finish Baby Boy’s I’ll post picture’s!!!

Hi!
I LOVE this pattern, I’ve made it several times for gifts and people absolutely love them. Is it ok if I sell on etsy? Of course I will link back to your page.
Thanks so much!
Ashlee
I allow people to sell items based on my patterns but I ask for designer credit and ask for a link to the post so people who want to make them can (they wouldn’t be a client anyway) also you may not use my pictures – 1. illegal and 2. customers need to see your work! and don’t sell the pattern! that’s it – have fun and good luck!

Hi from Japan!
Your lovely pattern was introduced on one of the japanese websites which summarizes “adorable crochet patterns oversea”; thus I reached here 😉
It was my first time to work on an English pattern, but all went fine. Thanks so much!!
Ashlee
I’m so glad! one of my favorite crochet books is in Japanese I made this thread crochet tablecloth from it! So detailed and so beautiful, I adore it

Hi there, could you tell me if the stitches are UK or US crochet stitches please? Thank you, Janine

These are so cute, thank you so much! I am brand new to crocheting, and I followed along just fine until the very end. But I cannot figure out what the last instruction means:
“sc down the side (I do 2 for each row so a total of 6 down the side), continuing around sc across the bottom along the original chain (13), sl st, cut yarn and weave in ends”
What does it mean to sc down the side? Or to continue across the bottom along the original chain? Sorry, the boots look super cute as they are, I’m just wondering what it means.
Thank you.
Ashlee
the side of the flap, your just crocheting your way around to give it a nice edge

In reading these patterns for different sizes, the story seems to be the same…can you clarify which hook to use that will achieve what size boot for the infant age? I am looking for a 6 mo. old, but I’m still not sure what size hook to use to achieve a larger shoe. Thank you!!! I’ve been looking for something like this for quite awhile!
Ashlee
the other infant size pattern is a different post completly infant size, it has 2 rounds instead of 3 for the sole and different numbers completely – if you want to try to only slight adjust either pattern yourself you can either go up or down in yarn size or go up or down in hook size or do both, all three ways will result in diffrent sizes so I suggest tryig just the sole and comparing it to what size your trying to achieve
