Crochet wrap around button baby boots- girls and boys

Published: | Updated: | By Ashlee

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!

free crochet pattern for these baby sized wrap around baby boots

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.

where to put the cuff and how to make it, free crochet wrap around boot pattern

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

where to attach the button on these wrap around baby boots

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!!!

      Hello! I am a beginner and I have a quick question! In row 3 of the sole, what does the star before 2hdc and after the 1hdc 7 times mean? and how is that different from the next hdc 11?

      Thanks!!

    • Ashlee

      when there are star’s like this around stitches and then it says x times afterwards you repeat the area in the stars that many times.

    These are so darling they almost make me tear up! They make me want to learn how to crochet so badly!
    Better yet I want to buy them… I’ll love them more that way. Are you on Etsy?

      Thank you so much, and for your interest. I used to have a store, but it’s just not for me, I don’t like making more than one or two things of something ever. Having a store almost made me quit alltogether. So no, I don’t have a store, but if you have someone who knows how to crochet in your life send them over to get the pattern and make them for you!!! Sorry!

      I really love these booties! I just made them in a coral/pink, they are adorable!! I am a crochet-er on Etsy and I was wondering if I could sell the product from your patterns? I would credit the pattern to you and your website, or any other source you’d like. Tell me what you think!

      I can’t wait to add some color combos to your fun pattern, thanks again,

      Jillian

      yes, please credit the pattern link so people who want to make their own can. Have fun and thank you SO much for asking

    Love, love, love these booties! Thank you so much for posting this pattern, can’t wait to try them. As someone else stated, I would love to have an adult version of this pattern. I have 2 teenage girls that would love a pair of these. I have never tried to convert a pattern from child to adult? Again, thank you!

      Thanks so much! I personally hate anything my feet, I don’t even own socks, slippers or flats (I’m either barefoot or in stilettos) so I doubt I’ll feel inspired enough to make a larger pattern! I would suggest making any favorite larger bootie pattern, making sure to fill in over the foot as close to the ankle as you can get while still fitting your foot inside, then use my baby pattern cuff as a base for making an adult size!

    I love the booties, I’m following the pattern, but I’m somewhat confused to when the front of the shoe got sewn together. I don’t know if I didn’t follow the pattern correctly, or if the front is somehow crochet later. I got to row 10 and the front of my shoe is not together as shown in the photo. Can you please help me? I can read patterns but somehow this one has me stumped. 🙁

      I’m so sorry! I’m confused myself. the shoe is worked in round and nothing is ever sewn together. I think you missed something completely. The sole is made first , then building in the back chains the shoe is built up and in rounds until it’s tall enough then the cuff is added on. there is now sewing together. could you maybe send me a picture of where you started to get confused? When did it not look like the pictures?

    absolutely love this pattern and really want to finish the pair i have started, however i am struggling with the boot cuff where it says “for the right boot sl st in the 8 stitches from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12 stitches from the seam then chain 15” where is the seam is it where i sl st into the first stitch at the end of the previous rows or is it at the front of the boot and then it says ch 15, do i slip stich back down the chain and around the top of the boot to begin the first row of the cuff? would be so grateful if someone could explain this to me so i could finish them off. x

      Yes to the first question, it’s from the seam left from where each row ends while making the shoe part. If I was better at this I’m sure I could swap it so the seam was on the inside of both boots, but I’m just not that good yet. The first Sl St before the chain is actually in the two sc2tog stitches but I thought saying that would be even more confusing. Does that help at all?

      No to the 2nd question, once your done with the ch 15 you’ll dc in the 4th chain from the hook and start the DC’s around that create the first row of the cuff.

    • Cindy

      Actually, saying it this way makes more sense to me. Until I read this comment, I had no idea what you meant by “seam” because as you mentioned in a comment above, you’re haven’t sewn anything together. Thank you for the clarification and THANK YOU for such a lovely little project!

    • Ashlee

      Your so welcome! Thanks so much for coming by AND stopping to leave a comment! I love getting them and am so happy when people love something I’ve created, so thank you!

      I’m with you, I love free patterns for cute things, so that’s why I put my stuff out there for free… I honesty can’t imagine charging! I hope you love them as much as I do!

  14. Kathy Wysuph

    It appears that the pattern is for the left foot, how do I adjust for right foot. How many chains do you make to start the boot cuff.
    Thank you for you assistiance, the pattern is darling.

      both feet are listing in the pattern.
      “Boot cuff: for the right boot sl st in the 8 stitches from the seam, for the left boot sl st in the 12 stitches from the seam:”
      just under the picture of the two sides starting points.

    Hello,

    I just wanted to say how easy it is to follow your pattern. I have learned to crochet on my own and this is my first time following a pattern ever. Since I am really green to all of this could you please let me know how to connect the stitches when the multiple SC and DC come into the pattern. When it is forming the covering of the toes…so row 7. I wanting to thank you for offering this pattern for free and really would appreciate your help!

    Thank you!
    Amber

      You’ll notice I said if you use a larger hook you’ll get larger booties? Mine were huge with just that change, like 2-3 sizes bigger. If it’s still not big enough (you can tell by just doing the sole, no need to do the whole bootie) then add 2 ch’s to the beginning and add 2 stitches on each side as you enlarge the sole/pattern… (think of it as near the heel so you don’t need to do any other increase, but 2 stitches on each side for length) and as you make the bootie part you might add an extra sc row for shoe height as well. Does that make any sense?

    OMG! ive been trying to find a really good website on baby booties with pics!
    everytime i tyrd with other websits that dont have pics i always have to take the whole thing apart and re-do everything and count, now that i found this website with pics now i know what im doing and not miss counting. THANK YOU SO MUCH 😛

    I had a similar issue 🙂 Ok, so it makes sense that the first SL ST before the chain is in the sc2tog for the one boot. For the other boot, do you start at the seam, do 11 sl st around the front until you get to the other side’s sc2tog
    OR
    do you start at the seam, 11 sl st around the back to get to the other side’s sc2tog?

    Also, you say you have three sc left. Does this mean the front of the cuff is not actually attached to the boot part? It just folds over the front and appears to be attached?

    Thank you SO much for your help! This pattern is ADORABLE and I can’t wait to finish the boots! 🙂

      the picture just above the cuff instructions shows the placement for starting the sl st for both the right and left cuffs. You start counting form the old seam and count towards the front. you’ll be starting both chains for the cuffs in the sc2tog stitches, one on each side, but I thought saying it that way would cause even more confusion. You should read some of the questions I get emailed about my patterns. I could spend hours everyday just responding to some of them.

      as for your second question? I’m not sure what part your referring to, but the cuff does wrap around and attach with a button, could you give me a row number your having a hard time with?
