Materials Needed:

- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Needle for weaving in ends
Abbreviations:
- ch(ain)
- hdc (half double crochet)
- dc (double crochet)
- sl st (slip stitch)

Pattern Overview:
The booties are constructed using hdc, dc, and sl st, with increases to create the shape. The pattern consists of creating the sole, body, and cuff of the bootie.
Bootie Pattern:
Sole:
Start with a slip knot.
Chain 9.
- First Round: Starting from the third ch from the hook, 2 hdc in the same stitch (the first 2 chains count as your first hdc). Then, 1 hdc in each of the next 5 chains. In the last ch, make 6 hdc. Now, working on the other side of the chain, hdc in the next 5 stitches. In the last ch space (where the first 2 hdc were made), make 3 hdc. Sl st to join.
Body:
- Second Round: Chain up 3 (counts as your first dc). Make 1 dc in the same stitch. 2 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. Then, dc in each of the next 5 stitches. For the next 6 stitches, make 2 dc in each stitch (total of 12 dc in this section). Dc in the next 5 stitches. Finish the round by making 2 dc in the last 3 stitches. Sl st to the third chain to join.
Forming the Toe:
Third Round: Start with hdc in each stitch until you reach the toe section. Perform dc2tog (double crochet two stitches together) 8 times. This creates the toe. Continue with hdc in each remaining stitch. Sl st to join.
- Fourth Round: Repeat hdc around the entire bootie. For the toe section, perform a reduced number of dc2tog as needed to shape the toe. Sl st to join.
Cuff:
- Fifth Round and Onwards: Make 1 round of sc (single crochet) to define the separation between the shoe and the cuff.
- For the cuff, work 6 rounds of hdc in each stitch around. Sl st to join each round.
Finishing:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in.
- Use the needle to weave in all loose ends securely.
