Introduction:

Welcome back to my channel! Today, I'll be showing you how to make small boots for little babies using DK yarn. With just a few simple steps and some basic materials, you'll be able to create adorable and cozy baby shoes. So, let's dive right in!

Materials Needed:

Before we begin, let's gather the materials you'll need for this project. Make sure you have the following items ready:

• DK yarn in mustard and cream colors
• Crochet hook (size 5)
• Stitch marker
• Scissors

Now that you have everything you need, let's get started!

Making the Chain:

To start making the baby shoes, we'll begin with the cream yarn. Take the yarn and wrap it over your first two fingers, then wrap it over the first finger and hold it there. Next, go through the first loop from the bottom, the second loop from the top, and the third loop from the top. Pull the yarn to create a chain.

Creating the Base:

Now that we have the chain, let's begin creating the base of the shoes. Make a chain of six stitches and place a stitch marker in the last stitch. Then, go back with a single crochet, placing one in each stitch. Make sure to place three single crochets in the last chain.

Adding Single Crochets:

Continue working with single crochets in each stitch until you reach the end of the row. This will help create the shape of the base. Repeat this process for a few more rows until you're satisfied with the shape.

Shaping the Shoe:

Next, we'll start shaping the shoe. In the top stitch, make two single crochets. Then, make three single crochets in the next stitch. Continue this pattern of two single crochets followed by three single crochets until you reach the end of the row.

Continuing with Single Crochets:

After shaping the shoe, go back to making single crochets in each stitch until you reach the end of the row. Repeat this process for a few more rows until the shoe is the desired height.

Decreasing the Size:

Now it's time to decrease the size of one side of the shoe while leaving the other side the same. Continue with single crochets on half of the shoe, then start decreasing by pulling the yarn through two stitches. Make sure to decrease every few stitches until you've reached the desired size.

Finishing the Front Part:

After decreasing the size, complete the front part of the shoe with single crochets. Then, make a chain and go back with single crochets. This will help create a more defined edge for the front of the shoe.

Completing the Back Side:

Now it's time to work on the back side of the shoe. Go around with single crochets until you're back at the starting point. Make slip stitches to create a flat edge and then cut the yarn to finish off.

Finalizing the Slipper:

To add some decorative elements, you can attach a small piece of yarn along the top of the shoe. This is purely for aesthetics and can be adjusted to your preference.

Congratulations! You've successfully completed your baby shoes. These cozy and stylish boots will keep your little one's feet warm and stylish. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found it helpful. Feel free to check out more crochet projects on my channel. See you next time!
