Malou Baby Winter Booties with Cozy Cuffs | Crochet Pattern

Nordic coziness with a soft spot for stylish details.

Meet Malou, a pair of cozy little baby boots with all the charm of classic winter footwear, just in a much smaller size! Their chunky ribbed cuffs give them a relaxed, snuggly look, while a pretty little bow adds just the right touch of elegance.

Made in soft, natural shades, they're beautifully understated. Try a different color combination, and they take on a whole new personality. A lovely handmade gift for a new baby, a sweet addition to a tiny winter wardrobe, or simply a fun little project for anyone who can't resist a good pair of booties!

The pattern is suitable for confident beginners and includes detailed step-by-step instructions, plenty of helpful photos and additional crochet charts for the sole

You should be familiar with:
chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet and half double crochet.

The pattern includes two sizes:

0–3 months
3–6 months
For the most reliable gauge check, crochet one sole in your chosen size first and measure its length against the measurements given in the pattern.

Babies grow at different rates, and your individual crochet tension can also affect the finished size, so this quick check is well worth doing before you continue with the booties.
