    • I can’t get this right and I’m no beginner. How does the style end on 46 and the top start on 45.. I love the shoes but I’m not spending anymore time trying to figure out where it’s gone wrong. If you fix the pattern please alert us. I’d really love to make them for my first granddaughter. They’re truly adorable. Thank you

      • I had this exact problem yesterday, until i. Realised that there is 1sc at the beginning of the round you need to count, so it makes the whole round 46 stitches.

        Reply

        • The problem is in the round 3 of the sole. In the last part you have mentioned 2hdc and 1hdc and you have asked to repeate it 3 times. So I figured out that repeating 3 times exceeds 46 stitches and does not meet the first stitch of the same round. If you don’t repeate then it comes down to 46 and meets the first stitch for joining with sl.

    • I started crocheting the sole for these bootees, I thought it was too big for a baby, 9cm length is twice the size of
      0-6 months babiess feet, such a shame as beautiful 💓

  6. I made these out of Red Heart yarn and I didn't like them. I am not a fan of acrylic yarn, but anyway, I thought a thinner yarn would look better, so I used Loops & Threads super fine yarn, I used 2 strands and they turned out smaller than the pattern size I made (I expected that) but they are cute.

  7. Knitting is a very creative thing to do which very beautiful and lovely when we see it being completed. I really loved this pink cute baby shoe. It seems easy for everyone to knit but it really require interest at the most. I ham trying to learn it a do a similar type of shoes. Thanks for inspiring me with this blog.

    • Just finished crocheting this bootie, Olivia. It is just darling! Thank you so much for sharing your pattern and talent. I did notice a couple errors in the PDF file though. In round 6 it states to 1 sc2tog at the end of the round which shouldn't be as there isn't two stitches left to do this. Also, in row 4 of the cuff, it states to sc in first stitch, chain 4, sc in next stitch and repeat 14 times. Should it not read sc in first stitch, chain 4, skip next stitch and sc in the next stitch? Otherwise you would have 28 scallops instead of 14.

      Reply

        • Hi Tammy, if you read again, it says sc1, chain 4,sc1… In other words, you are doing 2 sc after the chain 4. Hope this helps x

        • I don’t know what Im doing wrong with this pattern. I’ve frogged and redone rows numerous times. My count is still way off. I feel the sizing of the boot and pattern is not right at all. Pity as they’re really cute boots.

          Reply

    • Indeed, I noticed the error in row 6 as well and planned to solve this the same way you proposed.

      I also have a problem with row 5 of the 'top op shoe': if my calculations are correct, this row would require 46 stitches on row 4: 15 + (6 * (2 + 1)) + 13 = 46. But changing the instructions would result in a wrong amount of stitches for row 5.

      Am I right?
      How did you guys solve this?

      • I have just found this error…kept frogging it until I scrolled down and found others had the same problem. How have you fixed this up. A lovely looking bootie too!

  10. I Love these, they are precious and my First pair making. I going to reread
    pattern though as I think I have missed something. Row 7 do you double back or continue around? I will reread again.
    Thank you for a Wonderful Free pattern 🙂
    Bless You!

  17. I cannot get this pattern to print! It prints 1/2" on the right side and the Source info at top of page and at bottom of page! I prefer to copy and paste, but it would not allow me to, I prefer that way, because I travel a lot, and I can abbreviate the pattern words and have only one SHEET of paper to carry along. Thanks, Susan

  39. Hi Olivia,
    These are just lovely little booties and have the finish I love. Did you manage to get time to answer the queries others sent regarding the pattern? I am itching to make these, but not wholly proficient and need crystal clear instructions. I do appreciate you putting out all your e parties on the net, free of charge, a real act of generousity.

    • These are really cute but so far I haven’t found a correction regarding the count of stitches in the pattern. There is one incorrect row in the pattern for the sole and I think 3 incorrect rows in the top of the bootie. It took me quite awhile to figure it out so they wouldn’t be lopsided. She creates beautiful things but it is so frustrating to find the stitch count is incorrect! Wish she would post a correction for them.

  58. How do I attach the yarn in the middle of the heel? I was able to make the sole of the shoe. Now I am stuck, Is there a video?

    Thanks

  59. I have tried this pattern 9 times now and it doesn’t work. It gets messed up every time starting at round 5. This never equals 40 stitches. Please help!

      • I had no problems with the pattern until Rnd 6(7). In an earlier post by Beck Jo Oct 2016 who pointed out the 1sc2tog at the end of the round should be omitted. When doing that, the pattern works out lovely.
        With Rnd 5 (6) ..did you check you had 46 (50) stitches when you started the round. Hope you can sort it out.
        This would be my favourite bootie pattern…love it, thanks Olivia

        Reply

        • It’s working out now. I had to slightly adjust the sc in rnd 5(6) and rnd 6(7) in order to “center” the sc2tog & dc2tog at toe of bootie. I also deleted the last 1sc2tog at end of round.
          Thanks for your response!

        • Loved to crochet this one for a newborn girl in the family, thank you. However, would it be possible to help me figure out how to make adult size, my teenager niece would also like a pair:)

          Reply

  60. I just finished one of these booties after ripping apart the shoe the first 9 times and it turned out perfect! Read and follow the instructions CAREFULLY! I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, medium 4 acrylic yarn and a “C” 2.75 mm hook to achieve the right size. It still looks a little too big for a newborn so I will try to make it again with a thinner yarn. I think 11 chains is too many for the sole as most newborn shoes use a maximum of 9 chains to begin with. I will try to decrease the entire pattern to make it smaller.

  66. Just finished this baby booties, the onky problem I had was the one in round 6 (7). I just omit the last 1 sc2tog in the end of the round and everything turned out fine.

    Reply

  69. I think, maybe, the end of the 5th round should be 39 sts for the first size, not 40. I end my 4th round with 45 sts, which is what it says, but in round 5 you’re decreasing 6sts, which would bring it to 39

    Reply

    • So, should the pattern be adjusted before that? So the stitch count isn’t off for the rest of the patten?

      Reply

  70. I can’t figure out if the pattern has been adjusted or not from the comments left. I too am struggling to get the right number of stitches left when working from row 5 on. I’m not a novice crocheter, but am not comfortable going outside of the pattern. But, after frogging several times, I will set this down, and hope that someone responds and sets me straight! Thank you for the lovely bootie pattern.

  80. Hello, I’m making the larger size and have a problem with Row 3. In Row 2 you end up with 40 stitches. If you follow the instructions for Row 3 you end up with too many stitches if you do the last repeat 3 more times. If I leave that out I end up with 50 stitches like it says. Is that a misprint? (Repeat from the * 3 times.)
