Monster Baby Booty Pattern
Submitted by Shana Kreikemeier 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.
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 H 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.
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!
You are just single
You are just single crocheting all the way around.
So cute, but!
I am trying to make these, and am just not getting the same shaping you are--they are coming out quite wide open around the ankle, and would not stay on the baby well at all.
I am also struggling with getting 6 sc per side on the initial join with the fuzzy yarn to the foot. The length of the foot is 9 rows long, so how do 6 single crochets fit evenly there?
Finally, I am wondering why you choose to turn when going around the upper, instead of just continuing around. Is there a technical reason I am not understanding (I am pretty new to crochet, so forgive me is this is a silly question).
Any hints?
I'm not sure on the first
I'm not sure on the first question. My guess would be that you are accidently adding more stitches in. For the six along the side, you just skip stitches so they fit. If it's not perfectly even, it still works out okay. Fuzzy yarn is very forgiving. And turning is just a personal preference. You can certainly continue to go around if you like, but when I do it I always find myself adding more stitches. I'm by no means an expert crocheter, either.
Good luck. I hope the pattern hasn't been too frustrating for you.
Big booties
I loved them so much I made a giant pair for myself!

These made darling elephant feet to match an elephant hat
RE: Uhm....
I made one successful bootie, but I had to make some adjustments. Instead of chaining two (on row 1-3) I had to take out the two chains. I guess I have the problem worked out, it's just oporator error I'm sure! By the way, I have some yarn that is very similar to the one you used for the bootie, and since you lost the lable I thought you might want to know the one I have is called: Filatura di crosa-fancy. Color-Shade.
Thanks for your help!
Uhm....
These are SOO cute, but I can't seem to make them correctly. Could you please maybe word it differently?
Thanks!!
