Thread type for baby booties

Choosing the thread for baby booties requires responsibility. Synthetic, acrylic and all those that are not 100% natural can make a bad service.

During the first steps, booties may slide on the floor and the baby can fall. Synthetic thread is generally not recommended for babies and your best choice here will be specialized thread for child-related products.

Newbie booties crocheting

In case you just started crocheting and would like to start with booties – don’t worry or be afraid. To crochet booties measure the foot of the child – put its wet foot on a piece of paper and draw it out with a pencil. Add 1-2cm for the convenience.

Now you have a required length – and this is where the bootie crocheting starts. First booties usually require 14 air loops and the first row of double crochets. Then you need to turn 180° and crocheting two crochets in one loop you will create a semicircle of double crochets.

Repeating this pattern several times you will form the sole of the bootie. You can control its width and length checking with the foot drawing.

On the next stage, you need to form the sides of the bootie. Here you can use your imagination and use another color of thread or make some beautiful pattern – the sides of the booties are visible.

Bootie crocheting pattern in detail shows the height of the sides. This stage is followed by the crocheting of the hill and the elevating part of the bootie.
