Crochet booties shoes for girls: a diagram with a description

Booties shoes are very popular with young mothers. There are many options. They can be closed, open, with a button, Velcro or lacing. Before proceeding with the scheme itself, I would like to give a few recommendations:

  • As for the threads, they should only be natural. After all, synthetic threads can cause allergies.
  • The size of the booties will be larger if you take a thick hook and thick thread. And, conversely, the thinner the thread with the hook and the smaller the hook, the smaller they will be.

Well, now, one of the schemes of these beautiful booties of shoes:

  • Tie the sole with single crochets (hereinafter - b / n), leaving 2 air loops at the ends
  • After the sole, proceed to create the upper. Start making the first two rows with 2 air loops. Next, you need to knit half-columns s / n (hereinafter half-s / n). End rows with connecting loops
  • Third row: do an air loop, and then all the columns go b / n. Finish with the same connecting post
  • Fourth: as in the 6 previous rows, knit an air loop. After that, there are 9 b / n columns. Next, you will need to connect 2 loops together and, thus, knit with ordinary b / n columns. At the end, a connecting loop
  • Fifth row: knit 1 air loop (hereinafter - VP). The next 9 columns need to be knitted b / n, and then 8 s / n, but after one
  • The remaining columns will be b / n
  • The sixth row is the last. All the columns of this row must be done without a crochet. And at the end, knit 5 connecting loops.

At the end, the thread does not need to be cut, you must fix it correctly. To do this, dial from 15 to 18 stitches and 2 additional stitches. Make 1 or 2 rows with half crochets, and simply fix the end at the other edge of the shoe.

In this way, the thread will be fixed. For a brighter or more interesting look, booties can be tied with a contrasting color.

Each expectant mother, preparing for the appearance of the baby, wants her baby to have all the best and most beautiful. When a woman goes on maternity leave, she has more free time, but there is no longer an opportunity to engage in active activities. Many are fond of knitting. If you are new to this business and want to learn how to crochet booties for beginners, read on. The article discusses simple options. They can be easily dealt with.

What thing to do?

Many expectant mothers begin to prepare for a meeting with a baby in advance, buying bonnets, diapers, romper suit, undershirts, bed linen. Women often ask about what and how much to have. It all depends on the time of year in which the baby is born. If you like to do needlework, you can knit a hat, a scarf, sling beads, educational toys and crib decorations for your child. If the apartment is cool, baby booties will be required. You can crochet them yourself. They will keep the warmth of mother's hands and warm the baby's legs.

How to choose a knitting method?

The easiest way is to crochet booties. The beginner's schemes are very simple and don't require a lot of experience to complete them. In addition, it is easier to get different decorative elements here - flowers, circles, balls, holes.

Knitting can be more difficult, especially for small objects. In addition, crocheting is easier to make a complex volumetric shape without seams. To create a beautiful thing, it is enough to be able to make ordinary single crochets. More complex elements will be required for openwork knitting, a decorative surface pattern. If you've decided to master crochet for beginners, booties are a very good first try.

Design and style

The variety of models and decorations of booties amaze the imagination. You can use any ideas that you like. For girls, most often choose openwork knitting with abundant additional decor in the form of ribbons, bows, flowers, beads. Crochet booties for a boy can be made in blue. The most original option would be the shape of a stylized typewriter. Themed models with animals are interesting. Butterflies, berries, chamomile are more feminine styles of performance.

The shapes may also differ slightly. Make booties with ties. They are the most versatile, as they firmly hold on to the leg, even if the baby is actively moving them. A sandal or a boot will also not slip, but booties resembling a bast shoe or ordinary slippers should be tightly held on the leg, otherwise the child will definitely throw them off or lose them. So, when choosing a sample or coming up with a design yourself, proceed from considerations not only of beauty, but, above all, convenience and functionality.

What is required?

If you have not yet decided what specific options you will do, or want to try several, buy any hook number from 1.5 to 2.5. It is chosen, as a rule, in accordance with the threads. Slim is a must-have. It will always come in handy for creating small pieces of decor.

It is better to use special yarn for children. It usually costs more, but is considered hypoallergenic. This is especially important for those things that will come into direct contact with the skin. You can buy, of course, any thread of your favorite shade, but if the baby develops redness from them, you will have to use your booties for the doll or as a decoration.

Pick up decorative elements in advance. For girls, beads, ribbons, flowers are used. If you are going to make typewriter booties, use buttons as headlights.

For the face of an animal, it is worth buying ready-made eyes, although it is easy to tie them yourself.

If you are afraid that all this beauty can accidentally fall off during use and harm the child, give originality to the thing through the selection of colors.

A charming effect can be achieved by an openwork pattern, frills. However, such models require special care, since they involve constant counting of loops and following the pattern of the pattern. For beginners, it's best to practice with simple options.

How to crochet booties for beginners?

As a first experience, choose a standard shape without openwork elements. Try your knitting density. Estimate the size of the foot, which is obtained from the purchased threads (according to the sample you like). If there are no recommendations for him on the number of the hook and the name of the yarn, it may turn out that according to the proposed pattern, slippers for a two-year-old child will be contacted. This will depend on the thickness of the threads. If there are specific guidelines, try to stick to them.

Sequence of execution

To get a simple shoe shape, like sandals, the crochet pattern for booties will be as follows:

1. Make the required number of air loops for the sole. You perform it by

scheme, where the crossed sticks denote a double crochet, a black oval - an airy one, and purple - a connecting loop.

2. The upper part, where the reduction of the toe is performed, is knitted in the following sequence along the rows:

  • walk the circle with single crochets, knitting them behind the back wall;
  • do the next two rows with single crochet;
  • in the very first loop, in which you do the air at the beginning, knit a single crochet, nine single crochets, perform a single crochet decrease, that is, do two together, a double crochet decrease, a double crochet, three double crochets together, a single crochet with a crochet, a decrease in a double crochet, a decrease in a single crochet, a single crochet to the end of the row;
  • in the very first loop, in which you do the air at the beginning, knit a single crochet, seven single crochets, a decrease without a crochet, a decrease with a crochet, three columns with a crochet together, a decrease with a crochet, a decrease without a crochet, single crochet to the end of the row ;
  • in the very first loop, in which you do the air at the beginning, knit a single crochet, five single crochets, a single crochet decrease, a double crochet, three double crochets together, a double crochet, a single crochet decrease, the rest single crochets.

Do not forget to make a connecting loop at the end of each row, and start with one air loop.

3. Cuffs can be made as one piece with a strap, or knit separately and sewn on later. If performed together, then for the right bootie, the thread is attached to the seventh column, for the left - to the eleventh. Knits 12 stitches. Then you work as follows along the rows:

  • half crochet in the third loop from the hook, 2 air loops, half crochet in the next 9 loops, half crochet in the first column (the one to which you attached the thread), 19 half crochets (there will be 3 loops on the left), skip 2 loops, single crochet in the last loop.

4. If you are making an option for a boy, perform a turn, 2 air loops, the entire row with single crochet, fasten the thread and cut. For a girl, you can make ruffles, then after turning, knit 5 double crochets in the second column, and this sequence: skip 1 half-crochet, 1 single crochet, skip 1 half-crochet, 5 double crochets in the next, repeat in a circle 8 times , fasten the thread and cut. All that remains is to sew on the button.

Boot with ribbons

For the cold season, it is worth making booties in the form of a boot from warm yarn. They can be worn under the overalls, for example. Although this option looks good in an openwork lightweight design. Perfect for little princesses. Such a thing is also knitted from the track, then a vertical rim with a height of several rows is performed. The toe and heel are made separately.

Step by step

If you have found a beautiful pattern, but do not know how to crochet booties, for beginners, you can advise to understand the general sequence of work. Actions are supposed to be as follows:

1. First, the sole is made in the form of an oval, expanding towards the future toe. In this part, you will have to make more columns. The increase, as a rule, occurs evenly in each row.

2. When the trail is ready, a vertical rim is formed. It is obtained by knitting single crochet stitches behind the back wall of the loops of the extreme row of the sole. This part can be one or more rows high.

3. The next step is the toe, where the decrease occurs.

4. Then part of the heel is performed. If the model is one-piece, the third and fourth steps are combined, since the knitting takes place in a circle.

5. Separately, decorative elements, straps, fasteners, lacing are created, and then attached to the finished base.

So, you have learned how to crochet booties. For beginners, this task is not too difficult. Having done it once according to the scheme, you can fantasize in the future, coming up with different design options on the same basis.

Born into the world, a newborn, whether it is a girl or a boy, knows little about new trends in fashion, about high-quality clothes, about stylish decoration. That is to say, the base for self-expression from the cradle is to a greater extent set by the mother, less often by the dad. Beautiful crochet booties for newborns are in great demand among young mothers, because what is done with love for their child is, first of all, high-quality needlework, which protects both from the cold and from possible negative energy influences.

It's great if the baby's wardrobe is complemented by stylish and colorful booties, which will not take much time to knit. Moreover, having carried away once, there is a high probability that you will like it, and with a keen sense of dignity and joy you will knit booties for each new suit for your child.

The style and format of the booties' shape has no boundaries. Made in different colors, they look perfect with an additional attribute. For example, bows for girls and cars for boys. You can make booties in the form of some kind of animal or just sneakers with laces.


We will analyze these and other models in detail in our article, and you will see for yourself that crocheting booties, the scheme of which is clear and detailed, will not be difficult. Do not doubt that the baby will definitely appreciate your efforts and will look with curious interest at his beautiful new thing, which was made with love from his mother.


Booties are used both for everyday wear and for a holiday. It will be very convenient if you can sew a dense leather insole onto the sole of the booties, then the child will be able to walk with such booties on the street or take the first steps. And even if the baby's booties are not planned to be dressed for the holiday, make them bright, because colors play a beneficial role on the impression of the baby and his development.

A few rules when preparing for knittingBabies' skin is so delicate that sometimes even brief contact with synthetic fiber can cause irritation and rashes. Taking these features into account, we recommend:

  • The choice of knitting fabric should be natural fiber;
  • Be attentive to the small accessories sewn onto the booties. Sew them very securely to the threads, or completely abandon small parts, because the crumb can inadvertently tear them off and taste;
  • Determine the size depending on the size of the foot and the age of the baby;
  • The child's fingers should not be tightly squeezed together;
  • Do not use internal stitches as they can obviously irritate the baby's delicate skin.



How to choose the right yarn

As noted earlier, for babies they make a choice only in favor of natural fibers: wool, acrylic, cotton. Cotton is ideal in hot summer weather, the skin will breathe, and the legs will feel comfortable. Wool and acrylic will be indispensable in winter conditions, they will keep the legs warm.

When choosing a yarn, pay attention to what structure it has. If the wool is rather coarse or creates a "spiky" effect when touched, then, of course, it is better to refuse it. Indeed, at some point, the baby will want to stand on his feet and take the first steps, and from the discomfort he can simply abandon his natural desires. Angora wool is another exception, despite its soft texture.

Very often the palms of the baby are wet, you should not neglect this. Taking his booties in the handles, he can roll a considerable ball of wool, which later can become a problem if it gets into the child's mouth.
Recommended by experts to use merino wool for knitting newborns. The composition of such wool is completely natural and, moreover, does not cause allergic reactions on the skin of a child. In some cases, cotton yarn is used together with acrylic.


Accessories for booties

Competently decorated booties can determine the gender of the child, the mother's taste preferences, as well as what kind of outlet they are intended for (everyday or festive). Having entered the store, pay attention to the optimal accessories for baby booties:

  • Applications;
  • Satin braid;
  • Lace;
  • Embroidery;
  • Velcro;
  • Strings.

When choosing beads, and any other accessory, try to test them for strength after the first wash, so as not to risk if they suddenly end up in the hands of a child. Thanks to Velcro and ties, you can easily fix the baby's leg, this will exclude the possibility of the booties falling off.



Newborn booties size: how to calculate

The size of the booties is usually taken based on the age of the baby. From birth to eight months, you can perform booties from the following scheme: newborns - 9 cm, from 3 to 6 months plus 1 cm, at 8 months 11 cm.


Schemes and descriptions

To understand how it will be more convenient for you to knit or crochet, start with the easiest option for connecting the laces. If you are determined to embark on more complex schemes, just remember about the sequential instructions that must be followed. Crocheting booties is especially often used, let's describe crochet lessons for beginners.

Taking into account the age of the child, you will need no more than 50 grams of knitting yarn. In order to start any style of booties, you should form the sole, and then start knitting the top.
Consider crochet patterns that are not difficult for newborns. We knit according to the scheme:


A red arrow points to the beginning of knitting. For example, let's cast on 16 loops, where one of them is additional for raising the row. In the resulting closed chain, the length should be measured so that it coincides as much as possible with the newborn's leg from heel to toes.

When shaping the sole, focus on the tightness of the loops. We knit the first rows in half-columns as in the diagram, then move on to the tables. The task is this: from one loop you should knit two tables, and the last row with half-columns.



Crocheting booties for the upper part assumes the following scheme:


This diagram shows part of the knitting from the sole to the ankles. The first part is tables without throwing the thread on the hook, followed by six dozen loops.

Beautiful booties for a little princess

Booties for girls, in view of their natural charm, should be bright or delicate shades of pink, purple, white, red, yellow. Booties in the shape of a shoe would be a great idea. Let's take a step-by-step description of this model.

As usual, the beginning of knitting booties begins with the formation of the sole. Take hook number 2.5.

For a more detailed description, refer to the step-by-step steps.

1 row: On the hook we collect 17 in. loops, we knit from the third. Without throwing (crochet), we collect 7 columns, then 7 tables with a throw and 4 tables without throwing into the last loop and a connecting table.


2nd row: 3 in. loops, column (table-to) with a throw in the same area. 14 tables with a throw (2 tables with a throw from one loop - five times. 16 tables with a throw, 3 tables with a throw from one loop, a connecting table-to.

4 row: in. a loop, we tie a whole row of tables without throwing the thread on the hook, we finish with a connecting table.


5 row: 3 in. loops, we form the entire row of tables without throwing our insole behind the back half-loop, we finish the final row with a connecting table.

6 row: 3 in. loops, we knit the whole row with tables with threading, we finish with a connecting table.


Change the thread to white.
7 row: 3 in. loops, 15 tables with throwing, (we knit 2 tables with threading according to a common common top) - 10 times, we end the row with tables with throwing, we finish with a connecting table.



8 row: 3 in. loops, 14 tables with threading, (we knit 2 tables with a thread together with a common top) - 6 times, we tie a row with tables with a thread, finish with a connecting table.

We form five connecting loops. Now is the time to knit a bootie from the inside.
9th row: 3 air loops, 27 tables with threading.


For the jumper, we dial 20 v. loops.
10 row: we knit in the fourth loop from the hook a table-to with a throw, 2 in. loops, skip 2 tables of the past row and knit 2 tables with threading, again knit 2 v. loops - skip 2 loops of the past row and knit to the end of the row with crochet tables.


The final touch - we tie the edges of the booties with tables without throwing threads on the hook.

Sew on the necessary accessories.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated, but the result is exquisite.

Booties for a boy step by step

Crochet booties for a boy, differ in their color scheme. The color of booties is usually chosen in strict shades: blue, dark green, olive, gray, sometimes white.

So, to start knitting the next model, we need a delicate natural yarn of two colors.
We collect 12 air p. + 3 vp. (a total of 15 VP), take a crochet in the 4th loop of a closed circle from the hook and knit 3 rows according to the above scheme.


After three rows, change the color.

4th row - in each table-ik (back) we knit a loop without throwing a thread. As a result, 56 loops should come out.


5th row the same. As a result, we have two rows, knitted with white thread.

Switch to blue again. We start with knitting "bumps" (2 in. Loops, after 2 unfinished tables, then one in. Loop)

Skip one loop and make a "bump" again.

The next stage is followed by one c. a loop

And so a whole row, after - close. 7th - repeat 6th row

We enclose the row in a chain and cut the thread. We begin to knit a ledge, marking the center with white thread.

We draw the hook into the back wall of the loop and knit a white "knot" of 2 non-integral loops.

Then we knit “round bumps from 3 non-integral loops to the center (we get 14 pieces). The final bump of two non-integral loops.

We turn knitting over and also knit "round bumps"

We end up with 7 pieces, then we need to tie them together.

We also finish one more row.

2 more rows and again we take the blue thread into work.

We decorate the frill, knitting 3 in. hinges for each table.

Crochet booties for newborns: where to start

It is best to knit the product according to the ready-made pattern. A beginner knitter can easily cope with the work if the knitting pattern is clear and understandable ... In order to knit the first shoe for a newborn baby, you will need:

Crochet booties for beginners with a step-by-step description

Crocheting booties is a fairly simple task for those who are well versed in knitting. However, those who are just starting to knit will certainly need a step-by-step description of the work. A step-by-step description of the process of knitting socks for a newborn boy or tiny girl can be found on the Internet and in specialized literature on knitting for newborns, for example, in the magazines "For those who knit" or "We knit for children".

The sequence of actions for a novice craftswoman will be approximately as follows:

Booties can be easily knitted not only with a crochet, but also with knitting needles. For most models circular knitting needles work best.

Before starting to make the first footwear for a baby with her own hands, a novice needlewoman should imagine that nowadays the term "booties" is used to call any knitted footwear for a baby up to one year old. In this regard, they can be of different shapes, different heights and different styles. Booties for a newborn baby are shaped like socks, and for an older toddler they are more like boots or even boots. You can buy them at any children's goods store, but tying them yourself is, of course, much more interesting.

How to crochet booties for a boy and a girl

Until the age of one year, boys and girls are very similar to each other. In order not to confuse a boy with a girl, and vice versa, it is customary in many countries to dress babies in clothes of different colors. So, in Russia, the traditional colors of clothes for newborn girls are:

The traditional colors of clothes and shoes for boys are:

  • Blue;
  • Blue;
  • Green;
  • Brown.

Both boys and girls are equally often dressed in white clothes, however, this option seems to be rather impractical. Also for a boy and a girl, colors such as purple, light green, turquoise are well suited.

You can choose the color of the yarn when making baby booties based on these recommendations. Two-tone look spectacular, for example, with an ornament in the form of two-color stripes, zigzags, wavy lines. When the products are ready, you can embroider the muzzle of a funny animal on them with floss threads. For a girl it can be the face of a cat, and for a boy it can be the face of a funny puppy. And if you also sew on ears from pieces of fabric, you get bunny booties.

You can also decorate baby booties with applique. Ready-made fabric appliques are sold in specialized stores, along with other handicraft products. For a boy, images such as a car, an airplane or a boat are suitable. Booties for a girl can be decorated with an applique in the form of a berry, vegetable or bright fruit.

Many craftswomen decorate booties elegant bright pom-poms or tassels... Such decorations look impressive, however, do not make them too large. For a kid who is already starting to crawl and stand on knives, large pom-poms on shoes can only interfere. Making pompons and brushes with your own hands is very easy. But, if there is no time for this, you can purchase ready-made decor in the store.

You can also decorate booties with satin ribbons. The easiest way is to make two holes in each bootie and pass a ribbon through these holes, tightly tying it to a bow. Or you can make a beautiful bow or flower from satin ribbons, and carefully sew this decor element to children's shoes. In any case, the color of the satin ribbon should be in harmony with the color of the yarn used to make children's shoes. Similar in color and contrasting combinations look good.

A beginner needlewoman should work very carefully so that both booties are exactly the same. When the new thing is ready, you can start trying on ... If the baby feels uncomfortable in new booties, don’t wear them. Perhaps they were small or large. In no case should a baby be put on woolen booties on a bare leg, because skin contact with wool, especially synthetic wool, can cause irritation. You only need to put on booties on a cotton sock.

During knitting, you need to carefully monitor the number of rows and loops. If a novice needlewoman is afraid to lose count, you can count the loops out loud, this helps to concentrate very well.

For those who are still "on you" with a hook or knitting needles, it is recommended to start with plain booties... More experienced craftswomen can choose booties with a simple ornament of two colors, and knitters with solid experience can easily cope with booties made of yarn of three to four colors. If yarn of several colors is used for work, it should be of the same density. It is desirable that all skeins of yarn used in knitting booties were made by the same company.

Booties should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable, so you should pay special attention to knitting the back and sock. Booties should reliably protect the child's leg from cold and injury.

For a toddler who is already learning to walk (aged from ten months to one year), you can make knitted shoes in the form of small shoes, and then insert soft insoles into these shoes. This will be the first adult-like shoe. Such knitted shoes not only give warmth and comfort, but also serve as an excellent prevention of flat feet.

Knitting booties - a creative process, so it is impossible to find two identical pairs of baby booties. You can use any color combination, the main thing is that children's shoes look bright, fun, cheerful. Do not knit monochrome booties in black, gray or dark brown. Gray and black look good in combination with red and white, brown goes well with green and yellow.

Perhaps the first booties will not be very successful. The main thing is to take into account the mistakes made and try to avoid them next time. Then next time children's shoes will be more beautiful, comfortable and symmetrical. Elegant booties for a newborn or knitted shoes for an older child will serve as a great gift for a birthday, christening or New Year. The main thing is to choose a simple and understandable pattern, then knitting will certainly bring joy. Any child will be delighted with warm and comfortable booties, carefully tied by a mother or grandmother. Knitted children's shoes are comfortable and practical.
