Crochet Baby Shoes: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking to create adorable crochet baby shoes? In this step-by-step guide, I will show you how to make these cute shoes, perfect for your little ones. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this tutorial will provide you with all the information you need to create these beautiful shoes.

Materials Needed

Before we dive into the tutorial, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project. Here's what you'll need:

• Yarn: Any type of yarn can be used, as long as the weight and gauge are correct. I recommend using 100% cotton yarn.
• Crochet Hook: You'll need a 3.5mm or E/4 crochet hook for both the upper part of the shoe and the bow.
• Yarn Needle: A yarn needle will be handy for weaving in ends and attaching the bow.
• Stitch Markers: These will help you mark your first stitch of each round, ensuring you know where to join and start a new one.
• Scissors: A pair of scissors is essential for cutting the yarn.

Now that you have all your materials ready, let's get started with crocheting the upper part of the shoe.

Crocheting the Upper Part of the Shoe

To begin, make sure you have completed crocheting the soles first. If you haven't, please follow the tutorial provided on my blog or in the description box below before proceeding.

We will start by folding the sole in half lengthwise, ensuring the right side is on the opposite side of the shoe and the wrong side is closed inside. The heel part should be at the back.

Round 1: Creating the Edge

Insert the hook into the stitch right at the fold and make sure the yarn tail on the sole is pulled through your last stitch. In this round, we will work in two back loops only instead of both to create a nice edge.

Round 2: Single Crochet Stitches

Chain one and work one single crochet into each of the next 44 stitches. Make sure to skip the slip stitch from the previous round and join the round with a slip stitch.

Round 3: Shaping the Front Part

Chain one and work one single crochet into the first stitch, followed by one half double crochet into the next stitch. To shape the upper part, join the next two stitches with a half double crochet two together stitch. Repeat this sequence, joining two stitches together with a half double crochet two together stitch, until the end of the round. Finish by joining the round with a slip stitch, skipping the slip stitch from the previous round.

Round 4: Decreasing Stitches

In this round, chain one and work one single crochet into the next ten stitches. Join the next two stitches with a half double crochet two together stitch. Repeat this sequence, joining two stitches together with a half double crochet two together stitch, until the end of the round. Join the round with a slip stitch made into the very first stitch of this round.

Round 5: Shaping the Sole

Chain one and work one single crochet into the next nine stitches. Join the next stitches with a half double crochet two together stitch. Repeat the decreasing stitch five more times. Finish the round with a slip stitch made into the very first stitch of this round.

Round 6: Finishing with Slip Stitches

For this round, use a beige yarn and insert the hook into the stitch right in the center of the heel. Attach the yarn and work one slip stitch into each stitch all the way around. Make sure the stitches are not too tight. Cut the yarn, fasten off, and hide the ends between the stitches.

Now that you have completed the upper part of the shoe, let's move on to making the bow.

Making the Bow

To create the bow, take a small amount of orange yarn and chain 23. Join the chain with a slip stitch, then chain one to start the round. Work one half double crochet into each stitch all the way around. Join the round with a slip stitch, then chain two.

In the next round, work one half double crochet into each stitch all the way around. Turn around with a slip stitch, then chain one. Work one half double crochet into each stitch all the way around again. Finish the round with a slip stitch, cut the yarn, and fasten off. Hide the yarn tails.

Take a small amount of orange yarn and wrap it around the center of the bow. Make a firm knot and attach the bow to the shoe.

Attaching the Bow to the Shoe

Now that you have completed both the upper part of the shoe and the bow, it's time to attach the bow. Follow the same steps for the second shoe, ensuring they match perfectly.
