Vintage Mary Jane Baby Booties Crochet Pattern
For months now I’ve been working on and off creating a pair that I’d be proud enough to share with all of you… Yes, I have to admit that I’m a bit of a perfectionist!
I also couldn’t resist putting a vintage twist on these booties, as I thought it added another layer of cuteness!

Thank you so much! 😀
I've seen a lot of baby stuff. Do you have one, or just enjoy making baby items?
Hello Rebekah!
I don't have any kids (19 and single), but I do enjoy designing all types of things! I think baby items are just so cute! 🙂
Olivia
I just love your designs!! I can't believe you're just 19. You've got a bright future ahead of you, with much success in it!!! I can't wait to make these adorable booties!
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment!
I'm so glad you love my designs! 🙂
I'm just wondering, I'm always ending up with 49 stiches at the end of the sole of the shoe. I followed precisely…it happened on both soles…?? Help please!! Or does it even matter? I'm just starting out ��
I was having issues also. I think the repeats on the 3rd round are off. The first should be repeat once more instead of twice and instead of repeat 5 times, it should be 4. So there is a total of 5 iterations on the front and back of the sole.
My sole comes out to be about 6 inches in length. Is that correct? Seems huge for an infant. What could I have done wrong?
Thank you
Hello,
Your yarn weight might be slightly too heavy, or your gauge might be a lot looser than mine. My sole measured roughly 3.5 inches in length.
Olivia
My granddaughter will be precious in these! You are a true artist in design and color. Glad you included us!

Hello Olivia,
I love your patterns, I need this to fit a 9 mo. old. Her foot length is 4 1/2 inches. can you help me with a revised pattern? thank you, Joann M.
They are so sweet. I have troubles doing them as my daughters feet are already about 11,5 -12cm . Can you recommend how to deal with the difference?
Thank you sooo much for this pattern!
Olivia,
I absolutely adore these, however my daughters feet are huge! I've worked the field mice and the sizing was perfect at 6-12m. Could you possibly publish the change with this pattern as well?
