I absolutely love this pattern because it turns super-bulky velvet yarn into irresistibly soft booties that baby feet will adore. I enjoy how quickly a single pair comes together, making it ideal for last-minute handmade gifts.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing these booties with color changes — try a two-tone sole and upper for a playful look.

Use pastel shades for a soft baby palette or bold jewel tones for an eye-catching gift.

To make mini keychain booties, switch to thinner yarn and a smaller hook; adjust foundation chain accordingly.

Make a larger toddler size by using a thicker foundation chain (up to 18 chains) and a larger hook like 4.5 mm.

Replace pompoms with little crocheted flowers or buttons for a different finish and child-safe option.

Embroider small details or initials on the heel with contrasting yarn for a personalized touch.

I sometimes insert a small piece of non-slip fabric or felt into the sole for added grip on smooth floors.

Try making the ties braided instead of a single chain for decorative texture and extra strength.

For newborn sizes, reduce the chain count and work fewer rounds at the ankle to keep proportions small.

I often match the booties with a small hat or mittens using the same yarn for a coordinated gift set.

Experiment with faux fur pompoms or eco-friendly wooden buttons to change the booties character.

When gifting, add a small tag with washing instructions: gentle cycle or hand wash and lay flat to dry.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Choosing a foundation chain that is too short or too long will change the finished size; follow the recommended chain length (10-18) or swatch to adjust and keep the pattern proportions intact. ✗ Not switching to back loops only when instructed can change the shape and height of the sides; be sure to work the round in back loops to create the ankle wall as shown. ✗ Skipping stitch markers when folding to find the muzzle center can cause uneven shaping; fold the bootie, mark the middle on both sides, and crochet from marker to marker. ✗ Pulling decreases too tight during the muzzle shaping will distort the front; make decreases evenly and maintain consistent tension to preserve the rounded shape.

According to this pattern, booties will be from 8 to 13 cm. The size of booties depends on the crochet density and on the hook size, as well as on the number of chain of the foundation chain. I do not recommend to make a chain less than 10 and more than 18 chains!

Assembly Instructions

  • Attach the yarn to the heel and crochet around with single crochet in back loops to create the ankle wall, matching the pattern counts exactly.
  • Fold the bootie to find the center, mark both sides with stitch markers, and crochet the muzzle section from marker to marker working alternating sc and dec as instructed.
  • Sew each pompom to the front of the bootie using strong sewing thread; knot and secure the thread on the inside so the pompom is firmly attached and the knot is hidden.
  • Make two ties (Ch65), singe the ends slightly with a lighter, thread each tie through a single stitch on the heel with a hook, and tie into a bow to finish.

Important Notes

  • 💡Work a gauge swatch if you want the booties to match the size range; the final size depends on hook size and foundation chain length.
  • 💡Use stitch markers when folding and marking the muzzle center to ensure even shaping during front-part crocheting.
  • 💡When attaching pompoms, use strong thread and knot securely on the inside to prevent them from coming loose during wear.
  • 💡Singeing the tie ends carefully will prevent unraveling; do not overheat synthetic yarn when using a lighter.
