Monster Baby Booty Pattern
Submitted by shana on Wed, 07/16/2008 - 20:32
Monster Booties. Grr.
These booties are really quick and easy to crochet. I made this out of yarn in the stash. They don't take much yarn. You could also make them out of green or other great monster colors.
These booties will fit 0-3 months on a small baby. They are pretty small, so you might want to use larger hook than I did.
Supplies
- Worsted weight yarn for the sole
- Fuzzy yarn for the monster foot. (I lost the label on mine, so I'm not sure what yarn it is, but any novelty yarn should be fine.)
- Size I hook
- Tapestry needle
Instructions
Each turn counts as the first sc for the row.
Sole
With worsted yarn, ch 6.
Row 1: Skip the first two ch (these become the first sc) sc4 (5 total)
Rows 2-9: Turn. sc 4.
Row 10: Turn. dc, tc, dc, sc. Pull yarn through and weave in ends.
Sole before adding white
Foot
Join the white to the sole at the back corner (not the rounded end). We will sc around the outside of the sole. There will be 4 stitches on the front and back and 6 on each side (a total of 20 stitches). The stitches down the side don't naturally fall in line with the rows in the sole, but you can work them in at an even spacing.
Rows 1 - 3: Ch 2 (the first sc) sc19. Join.
Row 4: Turn. sc 5 (this should bring you to the start of the toe), sc4tog, sc10. Join.
Row 5: Turn. sc 8 (since you were going in the opposite direction, this should also put you at the start of the toe), sc3tog, sc5. Join.
Row 6 & 7: Turn. sc 14. Join. Pull yarn through and weave in ends.
Booties
Claws
I made the claws by tying French Knots. I wouldn't use beads or buttons, although they would be cute, due to the choking hazard.
If you make them, let me know. I'd love to see them.

I worked up one of these last night and co-workers are already falling over themselves to get me to make more! What a cutie!
I love these booties, they
I love these booties, they look so cute. I would love to crochet them for my own baby and for my nephew as well, but I do need help with the sizes. I would need the pattern for the measures for a 0-6months baby and for a 6-12months baby. I would be glad if I could get some help as I have no idea how to adjust the sizes. Thanks in advance, Lilli
Hey! I made a pair of these
Hey! I made a pair of these for our bundle on the way, and for a friend for her son she is expecting as well, and they are so quick and easy, that I upsized the pattern, and I'm making matching slippers for my kids b/c they will just get a kick out of them! As far as the directions...normally when you crochet, you don't crochet into the first stitch when you turn, with your directions you have to, to get the correct stitch count...no big deal, but you don't do it on the row where you ch 2 and use that as your first sc, so I would put in your directions, ch 2, skip first sc, 19 sc's in each sc around. or something along those lines. Also, I would make a note that on the others rows the first sc is made in the very first sc of the row...if that makes sense. I didn't have a problem with the directions really though...but I've been crocheting for 11 years now. :D Thanks for a cute pattern! And a great way to use up all the fuzzy yarn I have from when I used to waist money on novelty yarns! Oh, and I'm going to pick up and knit some ribbing onto the top to help them stay on. ;)
I, too, have older
I, too, have older nieces/nephews/grandchildren and would be very interested in your 'upsized' pattern. But there is no way to contact people who make comments. Would you be willing to share your pattern? And how do we go about making contact?
Is there an adjustment to the pattern to make them newborn size?
They are such very tiny booties, I don't think they would work on a newborn. I have knit or crocheted eight pairs of booties for my baby, and these are tiny. They'd fit on my daughter's baby doll.
I'd try going up a hook size
I'd try going up a hook size or two to increase gauge. I'm a loose crocheter, generally. Otherwise, the concept is pretty easy to make any size needed - solid colored sole, furry foot, toes.
Cute but TINY
These are cute but, as written, too small for a full term baby. I'm not good enough with numbers to create a larger version, but those who are will probably want to go up several sizes when making these. The fuzzy yarn is also tough to work with an H hook. Maybe a bigger hook would solve both issues.
Trouble??
I think this is really cute to make for my friends baby but i cant seem to figure out what to do for rows 1-3 for the foot.
please help!
