4 hours Daisy Crochet Booties :)

1525101_256672914515199_1123057846_n It was Thursday 27 March 2014 I received a message from a first time customer, asking me if I can make a pair of booties before 30 March 2014. In the meantime, I still have ongoing work in progress that I need to complete as well. I put a deep thought about this before agreed to her request. Not that it was difficult to make but the time limit was not in my favor. However after a long talk and discussion as she looks very determine, so I decide to step in and take out the challenge.

As how I thought! I felt no regret at all. I managed to complete the booties before 30 March 2014 and never have I felt this much satisfied towards my own crocheted booties before as how I felt right now after seeing these cute little booties. What a great match, what a nice shape and how neat it is! Oh yes, I am very proud to see my own progress. Alhamdulillah. As wise man said, practice makes perfect <3

So, a little advice to my crocheter/knitter friends, never ever give up and have confident!

Mission accomplished!

Material:
3.50 mm crochet hook
NAKO BABY LUKS MINNOS
or any DK yarns/10 ply
(Yarns available at www.daknit.com for purchase)

Accesories:
4 x Buttons of your choice
Scissor to cut
Sewing needle and thread to sew buttons

Abbreviations:
Ch = chain
Sc = single crochet
Dc = double crochet
Dc2tog = double crochet 2 together to decrease
Ss = slip stitch
Hdc = half double crochet

Size: 0 – 3 months old

NOTE:
1. Always slip stitch on first chain of chain 3/chain 2/chain 1.
2. Marker is necessary if you need to mark your start.

TIPS:

Using this yarn, I started with chain 13 for 0-3 months old. If you need to make a bigger size, below is the numbers of chain that I always use if i need to make bigger size. Here is my guide:
for 0-3 months old, chain 13/14
for 3-6 months old, chain 15/16
for 6-12 months old, chain 17/20

My booties are very easy to follow. Most of the increase are done on first chain and last chain. So if you are making for bigger size than 0-3, just follow the way how I crochet for 0-3 months old without need to change the way I increase  and decrease my sole. For example, my sole increase is as follow:

chain 13, 2 dc in same st (here you will get 3 sts in same stitch), ~~~~~~ , 6dc in last ch, ~~~~~ before slip stitch, make 3dc in same st again and slip stitch.

Here, i make 6——6 increase of the sole. Then 12 —– 12. Then 1 1 1 1 8 1 1 1 1 ———- 1 1 1 1 8 1 1 1 1 (this will make sense once you start making one 🙂 )

Well.. hope you can understand! ^-^

Now.. let’s stop talking and start doing!

Instructions:
Sole

Round 1:  Ch 13, 2dc in 4th ch. dc in next 8 sts, 6 dc in last sts. Don’t turn, continue making Dc in next 8 sts, 3dc in next sts, slip stitch.

Round 2: Ch3, dc in same st, 2dc in next 2 sts, dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in next 6 sts, dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in next 3 sts, ss.

Round 3: Ch3, dc in same sts, 2dc in next sts, dc in next 16 sts, 2dc in next 4 sts, dc in next 16 sts, 2dc in next 2 sts, ss.

Round 4: Ch 3, dc in every sts till end, ss. (47 sts + chain 3 as total)

Shaping

Round 5: Ch3, dc in next 13 sts, dc2tog in next sts for 10 times, dc in next 14 sts, ss.

Round 6: Ch2, hdc in every sts till end, ss.

Round 7: Ch1, sc in every sts till end, ss.

Repeat Round 1 – 7 for second pair.

Cut yarn and weave it off.

Accessories ( I call it Piece) x make 2:
Round 1: Ch13, Dc in 4th ch, dc in next 8 sts, 3dc in last sts, do not turn, continue making dc in next 9 sts, ss.

Round 2: Ch3, 2dc in next sts, dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in next 3 sts, dc in next 8 sts, 2dc in last sts, ss.

Tie, cut yarn and weave it off.

Now you have 2 Piece with you, using the button, attach the buttons on both side of the Piece and sew it together on front part of booties (Refer picture below).
