Monster Baby Booty Pattern
These booties are really quick and easy to crochet. I made this out of yarn in the stash. They don't take much yarn. You could also make them out of green or other great monster colors.
These booties will fit 0-3 months on a small baby. They are pretty small, so you might want to use larger hook than I did.
Supplies
- Worsted weight yarn for the sole
- Fuzzy yarn for the monster foot. (I lost the label on mine, so I'm not sure what yarn it is, but any novelty yarn should be fine.)
- Size I hook
- Tapestry needle
Instructions
Each turn counts as the first sc for the row.
Sole
With worsted yarn, ch 6.
Row 1: Skip the first two ch (these become the first sc) sc4 (5 total)
Rows 2-9: Turn. sc 4.
Row 10: Turn. dc, tc, dc, sc. Pull yarn through and weave in ends.
Foot
Join the white to the sole at the back corner (not the rounded end). We will sc around the outside of the sole. There will be 4 stitches on the front and back and 6 on each side (a total of 20 stitches). The stitches down the side don't naturally fall in line with the rows in the sole, but you can work them in at an even spacing.
Rows 1 - 3: Ch 2 (the first sc) sc19. Join.
Row 4: Turn. sc 5 (this should bring you to the start of the toe), sc4tog, sc10. Join.
Row 5: Turn. sc 8 (since you were going in the opposite direction, this should also put you at the start of the toe), sc3tog, sc5. Join.
Row 6 & 7: Turn. sc 14. Join. Pull yarn through and weave in ends.
Claws
I made the claws by tying French Knots. I wouldn't use beads or buttons, although they would be cute, due to the choking hazard.
I worked up one of these last
I worked up one of these last night and co-workers are already falling over themselves to get me to make more! What a cutie!
I love these booties, they
I love these booties, they look so cute. I would love to crochet them for my own baby and for my nephew as well, but I do need help with the sizes. I would need the pattern for the measures for a 0-6months baby and for a 6-12months baby. I would be glad if I could get some help as I have no idea how to adjust the sizes. Thanks in advance, Lilli
Hey! I made a pair of these
Hey! I made a pair of these for our bundle on the way, and for a friend for her son she is expecting as well, and they are so quick and easy, that I upsized the pattern, and I'm making matching slippers for my kids b/c they will just get a kick out of them! As far as the directions...normally when you crochet, you don't crochet into the first stitch when you turn, with your directions you have to, to get the correct stitch count...no big deal, but you don't do it on the row where you ch 2 and use that as your first sc, so I would put in your directions, ch 2, skip first sc, 19 sc's in each sc around. or something along those lines. Also, I would make a note that on the others rows the first sc is made in the very first sc of the row...if that makes sense. I didn't have a problem with the directions really though...but I've been crocheting for 11 years now. :D Thanks for a cute pattern! And a great way to use up all the fuzzy yarn I have from when I used to waist money on novelty yarns! Oh, and I'm going to pick up and knit some ribbing onto the top to help them stay on. ;)
I, too, have older
I, too, have older nieces/nephews/grandchildren and would be very interested in your 'upsized' pattern. But there is no way to contact people who make comments. Would you be willing to share your pattern? And how do we go about making contact?
Is there an adjustment to the pattern to make them newborn size?
They are such very tiny booties, I don't think they would work on a newborn. I have knit or crocheted eight pairs of booties for my baby, and these are tiny. They'd fit on my daughter's baby doll.
I'd try going up a hook size
I'd try going up a hook size or two to increase gauge. I'm a loose crocheter, generally. Otherwise, the concept is pretty easy to make any size needed - solid colored sole, furry foot, toes.
Cute but TINY
These are cute but, as written, too small for a full term baby. I'm not good enough with numbers to create a larger version, but those who are will probably want to go up several sizes when making these. The fuzzy yarn is also tough to work with an H hook. Maybe a bigger hook would solve both issues.
Trouble??
I think this is really cute to make for my friends baby but i cant seem to figure out what to do for rows 1-3 for the foot.
please help!
You are just single
You are just single crocheting all the way around.
So cute, but!
I am trying to make these, and am just not getting the same shaping you are--they are coming out quite wide open around the ankle, and would not stay on the baby well at all.
I am also struggling with getting 6 sc per side on the initial join with the fuzzy yarn to the foot. The length of the foot is 9 rows long, so how do 6 single crochets fit evenly there?
Finally, I am wondering why you choose to turn when going around the upper, instead of just continuing around. Is there a technical reason I am not understanding (I am pretty new to crochet, so forgive me is this is a silly question).
Any hints?
I'm not sure on the first
I'm not sure on the first question. My guess would be that you are accidently adding more stitches in. For the six along the side, you just skip stitches so they fit. If it's not perfectly even, it still works out okay. Fuzzy yarn is very forgiving. And turning is just a personal preference. You can certainly continue to go around if you like, but when I do it I always find myself adding more stitches. I'm by no means an expert crocheter, either.
Good luck. I hope the pattern hasn't been too frustrating for you.
Big booties
I loved them so much I made a giant pair for myself!
I do not have the talent of
I do not have the talent of being able to adjust patterns so drastically. Would you be interested in sharing your new pattern? Would you post it here or need to have my email?
booties
These made darling elephant feet to match an elephant hat
RE: Uhm....
I made one successful bootie, but I had to make some adjustments. Instead of chaining two (on row 1-3) I had to take out the two chains. I guess I have the problem worked out, it's just oporator error I'm sure! By the way, I have some yarn that is very similar to the one you used for the bootie, and since you lost the lable I thought you might want to know the one I have is called: Filatura di crosa-fancy. Color-Shade.
Thanks for your help!
Uhm....
These are SOO cute, but I can't seem to make them correctly. Could you please maybe word it differently?
Thanks!!
