Pink Crochet Baby Booties Pattern (0–3 Months)

We will work in rounds unless stated otherwise.

Step 1: Create the Sole (Light Pink Yarn)

The sole forms the foundation of your bootie.

Round 1

Ch 11
2 sc in 2nd ch from hook
Sc in next 8 chains
5 sc in last chain
Working on opposite side of chain:
Sc in next 8 chains
3 sc in last stitch
Sl st to join

You should have 26 stitches.

Your piece will look oval-shaped.

Round 2

Ch 1
Inc in first 2 stitches
Sc in next 8 stitches
Inc in next 5 stitches
Sc in next 8 stitches
Inc in last 3 stitches
Sl st to join

You now have 36 stitches.

The sole should measure close to 3.5 inches.

Round 3

Ch 1
Sc in each stitch around
Sl st to join

You still have 36 stitches.

Your pink sole is now complete!

Step 2: Build the Sides

Now we begin shaping the shoe.

Round 4 (BLO for a Defined Edge)

Ch 1
Sc in back loop only around
Sl st to join

This creates a beautiful ridge separating the sole from the upper part of the bootie.

Round 5

Ch 1
Sc in each stitch around
Sl st to join

At this point, your bootie starts looking like a tiny bowl.

Step 3: Shape the Toe

This is where we give the front of the bootie its curve.

Round 6

Ch 1
Sc in first 10 stitches
Hdc dec across next 8 stitches (4 decreases)
Sc in remaining stitches
Sl st to join

You will notice the toe area starting to close slightly.

Round 7

Ch 1
Sc in first 9 stitches
Sc dec across next 6 stitches
Sc in remaining stitches
Sl st to join

The toe is now nicely shaped.

Step 4: Create the Pink Cuff

Round 8

Ch 1
Hdc in each stitch around
Sl st to join

Repeat Round 8 once more if you want a taller cuff.

Optional: Add a White Trim

For an adorable contrast:

Attach white yarn at back seam
Ch 1
Work sc or crab stitch around the top edge
Sl st and fasten off

This gives the booties a delicate, finished look.

How to Make a Pink Crochet Bow (Optional Decoration)

A tiny bow makes these booties extra sweet.

Bow Pattern

Ch 10
Sc across (9 stitches)
Repeat for 5 rows
Fasten off

Wrap yarn around the center tightly and sew onto the toe area.

Make sure it is securely attached if the booties are for a baby.

How to Adjust the Size

For 3–6 Months

Start with Ch 13
Add 1–2 extra sc along each straight side of the sole
Add one extra round before shaping toe

For 6–9 Months

Start with Ch 15
Increase stitches proportionally
Add extra height rounds

Always measure sole length before moving upward.
