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

Santa's Christmas costume is one of the most popular crochet outfits. I decided to take this image for crocheting booties using the C2C technique. In the previous tutorials, I learned how to make the shape of a part for children's booties using the C2C technique. Now I can add any pattern to this shape, including the image of a Santa costume.

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



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

- 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 red and black 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 red, black and yellow 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 red area later. In the third row, when you enter the black thread, leave the long thread at the beginning of the row. In the fifth 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 threads to sew the two sides. 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 right it is necessary to make an increase, and in the left 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 red side, sew the edge with red thread.



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


Stage 2. Crochet the sole of the booties.

Take a red 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 red 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 (1 sl st in the top of sc, make 6 dc to the next top of sc) - repeat it 6 times yet. At the end of the row make 1 sl in the top of sc.



The Christmas Santa suit crocheted booties using c2c technique are ready.


The idea for these booties was the design of one of the blankets with Santa suit in the C2C technique.
