A number of years ago I designed this Sweet as a Strawberry Baby Booties Pattern and it was published with Furls Crochet. I am now allowed to share it with you in full, right here on the blog. I hope you enjoy making these adorable baby booties!

The supplies for this project were provided to me by Furls Crochet.

Sweet as a Strawberry Baby Booties

I created the crochet pattern using a Bloodwood (4.5 mm) Alpha Series Crochet Hook from Furls and multiple colors of Berroco Weekend Yarn  (Reddy, Daisy, Lemon, Forest). The yarn is spectacular to crochet with (so soft and smooth!) and the Berroco Colors are so vibrant and bright. It is a crepe, cable-plied z-plied yarn.

Some similar yarn substitutions include: Schachemayer Original Punto, Berroco Comfort, Bernat Satin or Bernat Super Value.

It was an absolute pleasure to crochet with the Berroco Yarn and Furls Bloodwood Crochet Hook.

The booties are worked in continuous rounds and I provided a number of tutorial photos for the bits you might need a visual to understand – like where to attach the ribbon to the slipper base.

Sweet as a Strawberry Baby Booties Pattern Instructions

1. With red, ch 9, work 3 sc in 2^nd ch from the hook, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 hdc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts, 4 dc in the last st. Turn your work to allow you to continue along the bottom of the sts. Work 3 dc in the bottom of the 1^st st (note: this is the same st you just worked 4 dc in the top of!), 1 dc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 hdc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sts, 1 sc in the end st (note: the bottom of the same st you worked 3 sc in at the beginning of this round) [21]
2. 2 hdc in each of the next 3 sts, 1 hdc in each of the next 6 sts, 2 hdc in each of the next 7 sts, 1 hdc in each of the next 7 sts [33]
3. (1 hdc in the next st, 2 hdc in the next st)3 times, 1 hdc in each of the next 9 sts, (2 hdc in the next st, 1 hdc in the next st) 5 times, 1 hdc in each of the next 8 sts. Mark this last st with your stitch marker. Finish off and invisible join [41]
4. With red, join yarn with 1 sc in the 3^rd loop of the marked hdc st. See Photo A. 1 sc in the 3^rd loop of each hdc around [41] See Photo B
5. 1 sc in each st around [41]
6. 1 sc in each of the first 20 sts, hdc2tog 7 times, 1 sc in each of the next 7 sts [34]
7. 1 sc in each of the first 16 sts, sc2tog 2 times, fphdc2tog, fphdc3tog, fphdc2tog, sc2tog 2 times, 1 sc in each of the next 3 sts [26]
8. 1 sc in each of the next 7 sts, ch 3, 1 sc in each remaining st around, mark the last st with a stitch marker; finish off and invisible join. [26] Cut a 36” length of white 3/8” (9 mm) ribbon. Thread it on a yarn needle. Insert the needle under the ch 3 on the back of the bootie and pull the ribbon through to the ribbon’s midpoint. Tie a simple knot and keep this ankle tie to the back of the slipper while you work the next rounds. See Photo C
   1. Notes: For R9 and R10 you will be working your sts from the inside of the bootie to the outside of the bootie (the opposite to how you would normally crochet around the slipper).If you want the leaves to be identical on each bootie you need join your yarn in the same st in R9 for each bootie. I recommend you use the stitch marker placed in R8 and choose the st immediately to the right of it as the first st of R9 if you want identical leaves on the booties.
9. With green, join yarn in any st with a sc. See Photo D & E 1 sc in each st around; skipping the ch 3.
10. See Photos F-J. 1 sc in the 1^st st, (ch 3, skip 2 ch, 1 sc in the next ch, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc; ch 4, skip 2 ch, 1 sc in each of the next 2 ch, 1 sc in each of the next 2 sc) repeat 5 times. Ch 3; skip 2 ch, 1 sc in the next ch, 1 sc in the next sc. Finish off and invisible join.
