            6\u20139 months<\/td>4.5 inches<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            This tutorial explains a newborn size<\/strong>, but you can adjust by adding rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Step 1: Crochet the Sole<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            The sole is the foundation of the baby shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Round 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Make 10 chains<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. In the second chain from hook<\/strong>, work:\n
                \n
              • 2 hdc<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Work 1 hdc in next 6 chains<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • In last chain, work 5 hdc<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Now continue on the opposite side of the chain:\n
                  \n
                • 1 hdc in next 6 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • 2 hdc in last stitch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Join with a slip stitch<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                  \n\n\n\n

                  Round 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. Make 2 hdc in the first stitch<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. 2 hdc in the next stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  4. 1 hdc in next 6 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  5. 2 hdc in next 5 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  6. 1 hdc in next 6 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  7. 2 hdc in next 2 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  8. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    This forms an oval shape for the baby\u2019s foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n\n\n\n

                    Round 3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. Work hdc around<\/strong>, increasing slightly at the toe and heel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      At this point, the sole should lie flat and measure about 3.5 inches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n\n\n\n

                      Step 2: Build the Sides of the Shoe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                      This step gives height to the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      Round 4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      2. Work hdc in back loops only<\/strong> all around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      3. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        This creates a clean edge and helps the shoe stand upright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n

                        Step 3: Shape the Toe Area<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                        Now we shape the front of the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Round 5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                          \n
                        1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Hdc in first 8 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        3. Hdc decrease<\/strong> over next 6 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        4. Hdc in remaining stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        5. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                          \n\n\n\n

                          Round 6:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                            \n
                          1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          2. Hdc in first 7 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          3. Hdc decrease<\/strong> over next 4 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          4. Hdc in remaining stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          5. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            You will see the front of the shoe closing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n\n\n\n

                            Step 4: Create the Shoe Opening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                            This round smooths the opening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Round 7:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            1. Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. Work single crochet evenly around<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            3. Join with slip stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              This creates a neat, snug edge around the ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Step 5: Add a Decorative Border (Optional)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                              You can decorate the baby shoe for extra charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              Simple Shell Border:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                \n
