Materials Needed

• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Bootie Sole

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your booties. This will form the base of the sole.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Work (1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) around. You will now have 18 stitches.
5. Round 4: Work (2 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch) around. This will give you a total of 24 stitches.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this pattern (1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch) until you reach a total of 36 stitches.
7. Work Even: After reaching 36 stitches, work even in single crochet for 5 rounds. This will form the base of the bootie.

Shaping the Ankle

8. Begin Shaping: To shape the ankle, work 18 single crochets, chain 1, and turn your work.
9. Work Back and Forth: Continue to work 18 single crochets back and forth for 4 rows. This creates the ankle cuff of the bootie.

Finishing Touches

10. Fasten Off: Once you have completed the ankle cuff, fasten off your yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
11. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends for a neat finish.
