          \ud83d\udc63 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          We\u2019ll crochet these baby shoes in three main parts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Sole<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Upper body (shoe sides)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Finishing and decorating<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            1. Crocheting the Sole (White Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            The sole forms the base of your baby shoe. We\u2019ll use white yarn<\/strong> for a soft, classic look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Start with a magic ring<\/strong> (or ch 10 if you prefer not to use a ring).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Round 1:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Work 2 sc in the 2nd ch from hook,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • sc in the next 7 ch,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 5 sc in the last ch,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Now continue on the other side of the chain: sc in next 7 ch, 2 sc in last ch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Join with sl st to first sc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • (24 sts total)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Round 2:<\/strong>\n
                  \n
                • ch 1, 2 sc in same st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 7 sts,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • 2 sc in next 5 sts,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • sc in next 7 sts, 2 sc in last 2 sts, join with sl st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • (34 sts)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Round 3:<\/strong>\n
                    \n
                  • ch 1, sc in next st, 2 sc in next<\/em>, repeat around evenly to expand the sole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Check the length \u2014 for a newborn size<\/strong>, the sole should measure about 3.5\u20134 inches (9\u201310 cm)<\/strong>. Adjust the number of rounds for larger or smaller shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    2. Crocheting the Upper Body (Switch to Pink Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                    Now we\u2019ll build up the sides of the shoe with the square stitch<\/strong> pattern using pink yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    1. Round 4:<\/strong>\n
                        \n
                      • Attach pink yarn to any stitch, ch 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Work one sc in each st around (this forms the edge of the sole).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Round 5 (Square Stitch Row):<\/strong>\n
                          \n
                        • Ch 3 (counts as dc), dc in next st, ch 1, skip next st, dc in next 2 sts.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Repeat pattern around: (2 dc, ch 1, skip 1)<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Join with sl st to top of ch 3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • You\u2019ll start seeing the \u201csquare\u201d texture forming.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Round 6:<\/strong>\n
                            \n
                          • ch 3, dc in next dc, dc in ch-1 space, ch 1, skip next dc<\/em>, repeat around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Join with sl st.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            Continue this square stitch pattern for 2\u20133 more rounds<\/strong>, depending on how tall you want the shoe sides to be. This gives the shoe its body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            3. Shaping the Toe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                            Now, we\u2019ll close the front of the shoe slightly to shape the toe area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n
                            1. Round 9 (toe shaping):<\/strong>\n
                                \n
                              • Work square stitch around until you reach the middle 10 sts at the front.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Skip those 10 sts (this creates the curve of the toe).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Continue pattern around to join.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                              • Round 10:<\/strong>\n
                                  \n
                                • sc evenly around, including over skipped stitches, to smooth the edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                • Join with sl st and fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                  You now have a cute shoe shape forming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  4. Adding the Cuff or Strap (White Yarn)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                                  To finish, we\u2019ll add a little cuff or strap using white yarn for a sweet contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  Option A: Simple Cuff<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                                    \n
                                  1. Join white yarn at the back of the shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  2. ch 1, sc in each st around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  3. Repeat 2 more rounds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  4. Fasten off and weave in ends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                    Option B: Mary Jane Strap<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                                      \n
                                    1. Join white yarn at the inner side of the shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    2. ch 20 (for strap), skip 2 sts, sl st to the opposite side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    3. Turn, sc along the chain, sl st back into the shoe edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                    4. Add a small white or pink button for decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                        \n
                                      • Weave in all yarn ends<\/strong> using a yarn needle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • You can add embellishments<\/strong> like tiny bows, crocheted flowers, or pearls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                      • For a polished look, edge the top with a final round of reverse single crochet<\/em> (crab stitch) in white.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
