TIPS

• Do not join rounds, work in a continuous spiral.
• Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round
• All stitches are worked into both loops, unless stated otherwise in the pattern.
• When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi
• Booties can be made in any desired colors.

Seamless way of changing color when working in the round

Pick up the new color at the end of the round: inset your hook into the stitch, yarn over the new color and pull through the stitch and the loop on your hook to complete the stitch.

While I’ve used a different color in the sole of the bootie, you could ignore the instructions to change colors and make your booties in a solid color, if you wish.

To make a magic ring

1. Loop the thread twice around your middle finger
2. Put the hook under both loops, pull the yarn under the loops and hook the thread again
3. Pull the thread through the new loop. The first crochet stitch is ready!
4. Repeat the number of times needed.
5. Pull the inner threads to tighten the ring.

Back Post Single Crochet:

Starting from the back of the work, insert hook from back to front, continue across the post, and insert hook from front to back, yarn over, draw the yarn forward, around the post, and through to the back of the work, yarn over and draw the yarn through the two loops on the hook.

INSTRUCTIONS

This design for crocheted doll booties is one of my favorites. They are pretty easy to make and to customize. 

BOOTIE

I´ve divided these instructions into a few smaller sections. We start off by making a crochet sole.

SOLE

You need two, for each shoe one.

Take yarn in a main color and start with a foundation chain of 9 stitches.

Round 1: single crochet into the second chain from hook and each of next 6 stitches, 3 single crochets in the next stitch, working in other side of the foundation chain: single crochet in each of next 6 stitches, 2 single crochets in the next stitch.

Round 2: 2 single crochets in the next stitch, single crochet in each of next 6 stitches, 2 double crochets in each of next 3 stitches, single crochet in each of next 6 stitches, 2 single crochets in each of next 2 stitches.

Round 3: single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch, single crochet in each of next 2 stitches, hdc in each of next 4 stitches, 2 double crochet in each of next 6 stitches, hdc in each of next 4 stitches, single crochet in each of next 2 stitches, *single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch* twice (33 stitches).

BOOTIE 

Now we continue with the upper part. Continue working with the same color.

Round 4: back post single crochet worked into each of the next stitch around.

Rounds 5-7: single crochet in each of next stitch around.

TOE

Round 8: single crochet in each of next 6 stitches, *decrease, single crochet in next stitch*, repeat from* to* 5 times, single crochet in each of next 12 stitches (28 stitches).

Round 9: single crochet in each of next 6 stitches, *decrease* 5 times, single crochet in each of next 12 stitches, slip stitch (23 stitches)

You can finish off here for a shoe, or you make the boots: after the round 9 continue working around in single crochets to make the leg as tall as you like.

You can also add strap to your booties: chain 6-7 stitches and slip stitch to the opposite side of shoe.

Around the bootie crochet as follows:

*single crochet and double crochet in the next stitch, chain 1 stitch, skip the next stitch*, repeat from * till the end of the Rnd.

Fasten off.

Left and right shoes are identical, so when you finish the first one, repeat all the steps for the second one.

FLOWER

*chain 2 stitches, 1 hdc, chain 2 stitches, slip stitch*, repeat from* 4 times into the magic ring.

Fasten off leaving a long tail for sewing.

ASSEMBLY

Around the sole work one row in single crochets using green yarn.

Sew flowers and beads on booties. Weave in all ends. Or decorate as desired.
