Fairy Blossom Baby Booties Crochet Pattern

Today has been quite blissful… After surviving sweltering heat for the last few days, I was pleasantly surprised yesterday with a bout of cool (and might I add, refreshing) summer rain in the evening!

To add to it, who couldn’t feel especially delighted just looking at a pair of watermelon baby booties, a sunflower hat or these vibrant fairy blossom booties? They just scream trips to the park, walks along the beach and picnics in a flower field… In other words, summer!

Other than crochet, what are some ways you cope with a blustery winter morning, or humid summer afternoon?

    • Thanks for the pattern. My slippers worked up nicely! I used a thin #4 yarn with the 3.5 mm hook, then switched to a thinner cotton yarn (slightly thinner than the Bernat cotton yarn for dishcloths). This gave me a sole that was slightly larger than 3.5 inches length.

    Have a great weekend, Margaret

  4. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful work. Love following your wonderful tutorials and free patterns! I would LOVE it if you could make a tutorial that is for either a) how to adjust these to fit any foot size (toddler, child, adult, etc) or b) an adult slipper pattern in this style! 🙂

    • When you say. Repeat from the * 5 time, Repeat from the * 6 times and Repeat from the * 7 times. What does that mean exactly? Im sorry if i don’t know what that means. I just learned how to crochet and i learned how to crochet on my own and i don’t know how to read a pattern.

      • Marco, it means to repeat the stitch pattern within the 2 asterisks, as many times as it says at the end of the line. Hope it helps. You wrote this a long time ago.

  7. Thanks for the lovely bootie pattern. I was confused to begin with because you say 'repeat' 6 when you mean repeat 5 (making 6 in total). You have made the same mistake throughout but I soon figured it out! Thanks again.

    • Bless you Pauline! I was getting so frustrated wondering why my stitch counts were off. I finally frogged the whole thing, read through the comments and found yours…ta-daaa! Now I have one bootie perfect and can start on the other. Thanks for perfecting this adorable pattern, these shoes are seriously cute.

    • What? I have made one doing as directed and my stitch count was perfect….Now after reading this i am so confused. I wish the author would respond!

  8. Did you use cotton yarn like used for potholders? Baby yarn with an E hook still makes the sole 4 1/4 which is too big. Thanks!

  10. Love your patterns, thank you so much!! My biggest issue is making two the same size! For some reason they always come out different, any advise??

  11. Hi there your patterns are the most adorable ever! Thank you so much for sharing them. Everyone I 'gift' with them adore them immensely – thank you again!

  13. There are now many Movers and packers agencies present in the country. However, very less of them can be trusted for their services. Many of the present agencies are here just for the sake of making quick money. This is the reason, it is very essential to be careful while selecting them.

  22. This looks adorable! Has anyone used worsted weight yarn with any success?
    I'm assuming it can be as long as hook size is adjusted to achieve proper gauge?
    I'll try it out myself and post again if it works or not 😉

  30. Confused about the heel for the upper part, are you suppose to go around as opposed slip stitch then chain 1 then start the stitches cause it’s always saying not to do the slip stitch to connect. I just love the little shoes with the fuschia & lime green
