What are Baby Booties? 

Baby booties (sometimes spelled bootees) are short, boot-like socks that are soft and warm. They can be knit or crocheted and are sized for newborns up to babies of about a year in age. 

They can be worked flat, folded, and seamed to make a foot shape or worked in rounds. 

Are Baby Booties Socks?  

Although they may look like socks, baby booties are not socks nor are they shoes. They usually are a little bigger than socks and would not fit inside shoes. 

Usually, booties are meant to be worn instead of socks or shoes for babies who do not yet know how to walk. In some designs, crochet booties will have gripper bottoms so babies can wear them when they’re practicing walking. 

What Yarn Should I Use for Baby Booties?

As with other crochet projects, you can use just about any yarn you like to crochet baby booties. Baby items often use thinner yarn, and it’s a great idea to choose a yarn that is soft to the touch because these will be worn without other socks underneath. 

Most new moms and dads also appreciate baby items that are machine washable, so check the label of any yarn you choose to make sure the care instructions are easy to follow. 

What Other Materials Do I Need?

You will need a corresponding crochet hook in the hook size suggested in the crochet baby pattern you want to use, which will depend on the weight of the yarn used. 

It’s a great idea to purchase a set of crochet hooks so that you have all the crochet hook sizes you might need, or you can purchase the sizes you need as you need them. 

In addition to yarn and hook, you’ll need a measuring tape to ensure your booties are the correct size. You might want a stitch marker for marking the end of the round if you are making a bootie pattern that is worked in rounds. 

Scissors and a yarn needle are always essential for finishing projects, but since many booties are sewn up after crocheting, you’ll definitely need one for these projects. 

How Long Does It Take to Crochet Baby Booties?

Most baby booties are made with basic crochet stitches. If you are a beginner, then you can create a pair in no time. For advanced beginners who already know how to make the basic crochet stitches, it will take about an hour to crochet a pair of baby booties. 

This of course depends on the size of the bootie you are making and the weight of yarn you are using. Projects worked in (4) worsted weight yarn will go a lot faster than those worked in (2) sport or baby yarn. 

Crochet Stitches Used in Baby Booties

While baby booties may seem intimidating because of their construction methods, they’re actually pretty quick and easy projects that often use basic crochet stitches. 

To do these cute garments, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with crochet stitches like chain (ch), single crochet (sc), slip stitch, half double crochet (hdc), and double crochet stitch (dc) as they are the most common stitches used in making baby booties.

If you need a little help with any of these techniques, or anything in the pattern you choose doesn’t make sense, take a look at our Crochet Fundamentals workshop. This video collection will teach you all the basics of crochet so you can make booties, or anything else, quickly and easily.
