The question of what to put on tiny baby feet is still an acute question for any caring parents. Children grow by leaps and bounds, growing out of any shoe before the adhesive from the label can be erased. Crocheted booties can be a solution to the problem, which not only fit perfectly in size, but also transfer the warmth of maternal care to the baby.

- - decorative elements.
Instructions
Step 1
Think about the size of the booties so that your baby's fingers feel free in them. At the same time, if the booties are large, the child will constantly lose them. Consider the thickness of your tights and socks. Booties with laces or ties will be better to hold, which will help to gently fix them on the legs.
Step 2
Choose a yarn that works on the delicate skin of babies. Usually wool, cotton or acrylic yarn is used. It is also quite resistant to repeated washing. Acrylic is less likely to irritate children than wool and is therefore a versatile option. The blended yarn combines the qualities of both of these materials and is also suitable for knitting baby booties. To minimize the risk of chafing, tie a seamless pattern with ties or laces.
Step 3
Start with the sole. Cast on a chain of 30 chain stitches and 6 lifting loops. Count 10 sts from the beginning of the chain and tie the crochet stitch. Thus, you must tie the entire chain on both sides three times. In the first row on the outer loops, tie 4 double crochets. Finish the row with a connecting loop, and start the next with 6 air lifting loops. Use this method to move from one row to the next every time you work on the sole. It should not be knitted in a spiral. In the second row, tie 2 double crochets in each of the 10 outermost loops. In the third - 2 in each of the 12 extreme. As a result, you should get an even symmetrical oval.
Step 4
Move from the outsole to the sides. To do this, carefully knit a whole row with simple columns, while wrapping the thread around the column of the previous row. Knit the next two rows with double crochets. Do not add any more loops. Determine where the toe will be and where the heel will be. When starting to make a closed top, it is necessary to determine the center of the meat so that the finished product does not twist. To do this, fold the bootie in half and mark the center. Set aside 30 loops to the right and left from it, mark the loops and start knitting the top of the booties with them.
Step 5
Work in three rows. The first should consist of 6 air lifting loops, 8 double crochets, 4 crochet stitches knitted together (repeat 10 times), then another 10 double crochets. At the same time, hook the back wall of the hinges. Unfold the knitting and work the second and third rows in a similar manner, unrolling the knit each time. You can decorate the resulting base to your liking. This model is designed for a foot length of about 20 cm and an age of six months.
