[C2C Crochet] The Christmas C2C crochet baby booties. Step by step tutorial.

Several years ago I crocheted booties. I have invented and created over 300 models of baby booties. Then I learned the technique of crocheting C2C and began to crochet a blanket. Today I decided to try crocheting baby booties using the C2C crochet technique.

In this tutorial, you will find a step-by-step description of how to crochet Christmas C2C crochet baby booties.

You can add this picture with the Christmas C2C crochet baby booties to the board in Pinterest so as not to lose the interesting idea of crocheting baby booties in traditional Christmas colors.

- Yarn Alize Baby Wool (175m/50g).

To crochet baby booties, you will need to crochet one whole piece using the C2C technique. To do this, use this pattern. Crochet only in the green and red areas.

To create this pattern, I used a baby foot mannequin. I measured the girth of the base. This is 22 cm.

Half of this length is 11 cm. When using Alize baby wool yarn, the number of cells for this length should be 12.

Abbreviations for crochet in this tutorial:

- Chain - ch
- Slip stitch - sl st

- Single crochet - sc

- Half double crochet - hdc
- Double crochet - dc

- Chain space - ch sp

Start making a C2C crochet baby booties in traditional Christmas colors.

Take a red and green yarn.

Stage 1. Crochet the main piece for the baby's booties.

Leave a long thread at the start so you can use it to stitch the two sides of the piece in the green area later. In the third row, when you enter the red thread, leave the long thread at the beginning of the row. To finish crocheting this baby bootie piece, use this thread to sew the two sides in the red area. Using the pattern, crochet the first 7 rows using the c2c crochet technique.

In order for the long threads not to interfere, they must be wrapped and secured with a small elastic band.

From row 8, start decreasing along the top row. It will be necessary to decrease at the top from 8 to 12 rows.

In the 13th row, you need to make a decrease on both sides.

In row 14, continue decreasing on both sides.

In the 15th row, on both sides, you need to make an increase. For this make ch 6, skip ch3, 1 dc in each of nexr 3 loops. 

In row 16, continue to increase.

From 17 to 21 rows in the red sector it is necessary to make an increase, and in the green sector to make a decrease in the rows.

Starting from the 22nd row, you need to make a decrease on both sides.

Sew the two sides of the piece. On the green side, sew the edge with green threads, and on the red edge, sew with red threads.

Sew together the two short green sections at the front of the bootie.

Stage 2. Crochet the sole of the booties.

Take a green yarn. 

Row 1. Make ch 16, in 4th ch from the hook make 1 dc, in each of next 11 loops make 1 dc, in last loop make 5 dc, in each of next 11 loops make 1 dc, in last loop make 3 dc, 1 sl st in 3rd ch.

Row 2. Make ch 2, 2 dc in same loop, in next loop make 2 dc, in each of next 11 loops make 1 dc, in each of next 5 loops make 2 dc, in each of next 11 loops make 1 dc, in each of next 3 loops make 2 dc, 1 sl st in the top of dc.

Row 3. Make ch 2, 2 dc in same loop, in each of next 2 loops make 2 dc, in each of next 13 loops make 1 dc, in each of next 8 loops make 2 dc, in each of next 13 loops make 1 dc, in each of next 5 loops make 2 dc, 1 sl st in the top of dc.

Row 4. Make ch 1, in each of next loops make 1 sc, 1 sl st in the top of sc.

Finish crocheting this sole and leave a long thread. You can use this long thread to sew the sole and the main part of the bootie.

Sew the sole to the main part of the bootie. For convenience, fasten the middle of the back of the bootie to the middle of the back of the sole. Do the same for the front.

Stage 3. Booties top decoration.

Row 1. Take a green yarn. Insert the hook between the two squares. Make ch 1, 1 sc in same space, ch 3, in next space between two squares make 1 sc. Repeat this to the end of the row. At the end of the row make 1 sl st in the top of sc.

Row 2. Make ch 1, in each ch sp make 1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc. At the end of the row make 1 sl in the top of sc.

Crocheted booties using c2c technique are ready.
