Cuffed Baby Sock Booties

Posted on February 7, 2013


Here are my crocheted baby booties that feature a cuffed top. I did a variation of the original slipper sock pattern by Sharon Klinsky that can be found on several different crochet sites.

There is a wonderful picture tutorial of the original pattern over at Coffee n’Crafts blog site that I found very useful to understand the pattern. Just use a single strand of worst weight yarn for baby booties that will fit a baby up to 6 months old. For a preemie sized newborn, I used a smaller crochet hook and some sport-fingering yarn. If you are wondering, the creme-colored preemie socks shown below have a different stitch look because I turned the toe portion inside out before adding the ribbed heel. By reversing the toe portion, it results in a horizontal stitch look rather than a circular pattern.

    In the direcctions, I might also add BLO for step 7 and again in step 8 of the back ribbing; I thought it was only for steps 2-6, but realized by looking at it that I should continue in the BLO pattern till the end of the bootie. I was glad that I only had to rip out two rows! The booties are great; I would definitely use this pattern again. I made them up for a quick shower present, and it only took me about an hour and a half to complete the pair. Thanks!

    I’m curious about the difference in the toes of the white and yellow booties in the photos above. With the white ones, the photo matches the pattern and you can see the rounds. The yellow ones look like the toes are worked in rows with a decrease at the toe tip. Are the yellow ones made using a different pattern?

    Pam – Yes both are the same pattern. I wrote about why they look different in the post above. It’s because I turned the toe portion inside out before adding the ribbed heel. By reversing the toe portion, it results in a horizontal stitch look rather than a circular pattern. You can work the pattern either way depending how you like it to look.
