newborn - 3 months old (3.5" sole)
MATERIALS
*Crochet hook size: 4.0mm (G)
*Worsted Weight Yarn: Brown (15yds), Pink (22yds), White (6yds) & Orange (3yds) or any color of choice
*Stitch Markers to mark your rounds

*4 - 10mm black buttons for eyes

PATTERN NOTES - must read...
Numbers in ( ) at the end of each round/row indicate the total number of stitches.
Always use stitch markers to mark your rounds.
There's no need to sl st and/or ch when going to the next round unless stated to do so.
Always do the 1st stitch where you slip stitch from the previous round.
The chain, in the beginning, does NOT count as one stitch unless stated otherwise.
You slip stitch on the first sc, not on top of the chain 1.

ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
Sew the 12mm buttons for the straps.
EYES...you want to place the eyes close to each other on the very top center of the booties. Sew the 10mm buttons on top of the white part of the eye.
PEAK...I place them a little under the eye and sew it in place.
The little flowers I found them at my local yarn store. I use hot glue to place them in the booties.
Moster Lene kindly translated the pattern in Danish. If you would like the pattern in Danish it can be found here.

HOW ADORABLE are these??! I'll be attempting them today... Thank you so much for the pattern! If I pull them off, I'll repost to my blog and give you some link love. Also, love your blog name. <3 Thanks again!
ReplyDelete@Amber P, Good luck and cant wait to see how yours turn out.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks someone help me out with naming my blog, I absolutely love the name it reminds me of Rocky Horror Picture Show movie. :)
I love this pattern, super cute! But I am having trouble with Rnd 1. I got as far as "dc in next 3 chs", when I realized I had two chains left to work "6 dc in next ch, dc in next 3 chs, etc. " I am hoping you can help me get passed row 1.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Marianne
@Marianne, thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhen starting you chain 11. You skip one and you do 2sc in the next, etc... You do the 6 dc in the last chain and in the opposite side of the chain you work the rest. Giving you an oval shape.

Oh, I love your blog an your patterns!!! I am a new follower of your blog... perhaps visit my blog? Regards from Germany, Yvonne
ReplyDelete@Yvonee, welcome and thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are super super cute! Love them! I linked to your page for an owl pattern roundup this morning. Thanks so much for sharing such a great pattern! http://www.mooglyblog.com/ten-more-free-crochet-owl-patterns/
ReplyDeleteWOW! I can't wait to make these! I have a three month old granddaughter. She's small so I think these will work. You are awesome Janet!
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern but when i try and print the pattern all im getting is numbers and nothing else. Oh well i'll have to copy it by hand as i cant wait to try it........
ReplyDelete@Tamara at Moogly, thanks glad you like them. <3
ReplyDelete@Adria Waddell, thanks so much. Hope they fit her. You can try using hook a bit bigger to achieve a bigger size.
ReplyDelete@ Chalkymac, I'm not sure why its showing up like that when you try to print it. I click print preview and it show up just fine.
The booties are charming - will do up as many as I can for the church - new daughter-in-law and no grandchildren yet , but I can get 'warmed up ' for it :-D
ReplyDeleteONE BIG ISSUE: the black button eyes and the flower must be crocheted - the addition of these items in plastic would tempt the babies' toddler siblings and playmates to eat them off the thing and possibly swallow . I think they call it "small parts hazard" or something.
Little ones see with their mouths till the eyes are grown up later in toddlerhood, and so if it attracts they try to understand it better by putting it in the mouth.
@Elle Fagan CT, glad you like them. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, those might be considered hazard. I really didn't think of that until you mention.
Oh my gosh! They are so cute. I am crocheting baby clothes for one of our cake decorators at the bakery I work at and booties is the theme that I am decorating for her shower. It's her first and I am going to use your cute pattern for the favors. Thank you for your creativity. Marvelous
ReplyDeleteHello, is there a chance to get a bigger size??? How can I do it??? Thanks, I´m a crochet begginer but my daughter is 11 months so she needs a bigger size :( thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteI followed the link from allfreecrochet. These are so precious! My grand-daughter is 6yrs though. Any plans for larger sizes in the future? Please :)
ReplyDelete@Noreen, thats a really cute idea. I'm sure everyone will love their party favors.
ReplyDelete@Meli Banuett & @usagypsy , I am planning on making bigger sizes but at the moment I don't know of anyone who has kids of those ages. I need to be able to try them on someone so I can fix any errors.
Creating new stuff you go from trial and error.
I love your pattern! I am having trouble with it. I can't seem to get it to print and I can't copy and paste to word, so i can print from that. I do know what I'm doing, but have never had this problem before. Can you please help? thank you so much and thank you for sharing your hard work.
ReplyDelete@Ginny, Glad you like them. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why it wont let you print. I try it and it did print here. I could also copy and paste it on word. Have you try on another computer (relatives house)?
Hello Janet!
ReplyDeleteI have been crocheting for about two weeks now and I absolutely love your pattern. I would like to make them for my cousin's newborn as a Christmas present. However, I am slightly confused with round 1 where you say "other side of the chs 6 dc in next ch". 6 dc in next ch to me means that I am to place 6 dc in the same stitch but, what does "other side if the chs" mean exactly?
Thanks in advance!
very cute. I am going to attempt to make them a bit larger for my 1 1/2 year old grandaughter to go with her owl hat.
ReplyDeleteHola, tienes un blog maravilloso. Lots of beautiful things here, thank you for sharing. I'm just getting into crocheting, I didn't know there were so many things that could be done. I always thought of it as old fashion seeing my mom crocheting her doilies, but I've recently discovered is a wonderful thing.
ReplyDelete@Teresa, will love to see how they turn out. :)
ReplyDelete@Lorena Contreras, when I started I also didnt know the endless possibilities that I could make until I started browsing through google and found so many wonderful projects.
ReplyDeleteThese little owl booties are too cute! I'm looking forward to making them! Will join your FB page.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I ran across this pattern. I am a newbie just learning to read these patterns, and I actually did it for the first time! YAY! Thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust saw these and have to make them for my little granddaughter, Alexis, born 4/15/13. Her nursery theme is owls! Thanks so much for the pattern!!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the instructions for the strap. I dont see it in these instructions? nancy
ReplyDelete@NANCY ROCHA, the instructions for the straps is round 8 in making the bootie. :)
ReplyDeletefrom the picture it looks like you turned the bootie inside out after crocheting through the back loops. is that what you did? just wondering since it didn't mention that in the instructions. thanks!
ReplyDelete@Heather linares,
ReplyDeleteHi. I didn't turn the booties inside out. :)
I was so inspired and fell totally in love with your little booties, so I had to adapt it for my set for my new little great-niece. Here is my version: http://themultifacetedmatron.blogspot.ca/2013/10/crochet-baby-puff-and-shell-stitch-set.html. Thanks for the pattern. :)

Hi! Absolutely love this pattern! I was just wondering: how would I increase the size to fit a 1 year old? I want to make these for my 1 year old niece for Christmas :) but I am still a newbie to crocheting! Any help would be awesome :)

Hello Lacey,
ReplyDeleteI tried contacting you through the email you provide but unfortunately, it could not be sent for some reason. It's always best to contact me through any social media (those can be found on my blog) or email.
Unfortunately, I only have the owl booties in one size (newborn - 3 months).
I can go ahead and create bigger sizes.
Which particular size were you looking for?
Have a wonderful day.
-Janet
