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 4^th 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 4^th 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).

Sewing time!

Do for both pair. Tidy up and done! 🙂

Now.. let’s make more! Alhamdulillah.. I hope you enjoy making <3

Ulang langkah 1-2.

Old Shale Pattern Stitch (Gandaan18 sts)

(K2tog x 3), *(YO, K1) x 6 times, (K2tog x 6 times)* repeat * to * until the last 6 stitches, k2tog x 3 times
Knit
Knit
Purl

**
Instructions:
Cast On 68 Sts (Baris 1- Baris 4 adalah Garter Stitch)
Baris 1 (Right side): Knit hingga akhir baris
Baris 2 (Wrong side): Knit hingga akhir baris
Baris 3: Knit hingga akhir baris
Baris 4: Knit hingga akhir baris

Pembahagian untuk Raglan (increase untuk mendapatkan bahagian lengan):

Baris 5: K11 (bahagian hadapan), pm, K2, pm, K8 (lengan), pm, K2, pm, K22 (bahagian belakang), pm, K2, pm, K8 (lengan), pm, K2, pm, K11 (hadapan)
Baris 6: Kait P sehingga akhir baris.

** Red FONT adalah teknik Increase.

Bahagian Increase bermula:

Baris 7: K11, YO, K2, YO, K8, YO, K2, YO, K22, YO, K2, YO, K8, YO, K2, YO, K11 (menggunakan teknik Yarn Over, kita akan increase 8 stitches sepanjang baris)

Baris 8: Kait P sehingga akhir baris

(Dengan menambah 1 Sts di bahagian baris Right Side sebelum dan selepas K2 dengan menggunakan Yarn Over seperti pada baris 7, teruskan mengait mengikut paten baris 7 dengan terus menambah “increase” pada setiap baris right side, di mana setiap baris Right Side kita akan akan increase 8 sts, dan kait purl sehingga habis baris pada bahagian Wrong Side, teruskan langkah ini sehingga anda mencapai 180 sts sebelum kita membahagikan bahagian lengan – Untuk ini, jumlah baris anda bermula dari cast on ialah 32 baris.

Pembahagian lengan:

Baris 33: K29, pindahkan 36 sts seterusnya (iaitu sts untuk sleeve) ke stitch holder ataupun tali benang yang tidak digunakan, kemudian, knit 50 sts seterusnya, kemudian, pindahkan lagi 36 sts seterusnya ke stitch holder, dan kemudian knit lagi 29 sts seterusnya sehingga habis baris.

Baris 34: Kait Purl sehingga habis baris (sts yang berada di stitch holder/baki benang kita tinggalkan dahulu)

Bahagian badan (di bahagian badan, sts anda kini berjumlan 108 sts, di mana kita akan mendapat 6 ombak Old Shale – sila lihat gambar untuk mendapatkan gambaran ombak Old Shale):

Sekarang, kita tinggalkan dahulu bahagian sleeves, sambung kait untuk bahagian badan:

Old Shale Pattern Stitch (Gandaan 18 Sts),

Bermula di bahagian Right Side (Odd row), dan Wrong Side (Even row)

Nombor 1: (K2tog x 3), *[(YO, K1) x 6 kali, (K2tog x 6 times)]* teruskan mengait dari symbol * ke simbol * untuk 5 kali lagi) sehingga tinggal 6 stitches yang terakhir, kait k2tog sebanyak 3 kali (maksudnya, k2tog, k2tog, k2tog). Baris seterusnya,

Nombor 2: Knit hingga akhir baris, kemudian baris seterusnya

Nombor 3: Knit hingga akhir baris, kemudian baris seterusnya

Nombor 4: Purl hingga akhir baris

Teruskan mengait dari nombor 1 hingga semula dan berulang sehingga panjang yang anda inginkan. Kemudian, knit Nombor 1, baris seterusnya, buat bind off (BO) sehingga akhir baris. Cut yarns, weave off.

Lengan (menggunakan Magic Loop Technique) x buat 2 lengan:

Di bahagian ini, kita akan kait terus bahagian lengan tanpa perlu buat sebarang jahitan ataupun jika ada, sedikit jahitan sahaja. Langkah seterusnya, anda boleh mulakan bahagian kanan ataupun kiri dulu mengikut keselesaan (untuk memahami teknik Pick Up, anda boleh layari youtube.com dan search untuk How To Pick Up Knitting Stitch ataupun klik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htAHtNnuE7Q )

Menggunakan benang yang sama, pick up 1 Sts di bawah lengan, pindahkan kesemua 36 Sts tadi ke jarum, kemudian pick up lagi 1 Sts di bawah lengan, kini anda akan mempunyai 38 sts. Bahagikan 38 Sts tadi kepada dua bahagian (18-18).

Bagi memudahkan anda, bolehlah diletakkan “Marker” pada awal stc sebagai tanda “mula”. Knit kesemua sts menggunakan teknik Magic Loop (Magic Loop Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mqIqRdJc68 atau http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdSpc0EZpnk) sehingga panjang yang anda kehendaki ataupun sebanyak 30 baris. Di bahagian ini anda tidak perlu Purl. Hanya kait Knit sahaja.

Kemudian, sebelum anda Bind Off, bolehlah kait lagi satu baris secara PURL. Setelah Purl semua baris yang terakhir, Bind Off semua sts. Purl di bahagian akhir ini bertujuan untuk memastikan hujung lengan anda tidak bergulung. Ulang langkah di atas untuk lengan yang kedua.

Bahagian Button Band:

Pick Up 32 stitches bermula dari baris Cast On pada hujung bahagian depan, Setelah memperolehi 32 sts, kait Ribbing 2 x 2. Untuk buat lubang butang, buat 4 lubang menggunakan teknik Yarn Over dengan jarak di antara mereka antara 1 atau 1 ½ cm. Buat ribbing sebanyak 8 baris, kemudian Bind Off.

Pick up 32 sts.
Baris 1: (k2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 2: (K2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 3: (K2, YO,p2tog, K2, P2, K2, P2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 4: (k2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 5: (K2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 6: (k2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 7: (K2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris
Baris 8: (k2, p2) ulang langkah ( ) sehingga habis baris

Bind off baris seterusnya.

Ulang langkah di atas untuk bahagian sebelah band pula tanpa membuat lubang.

Jahitkan butang kegemaran anda. Kemaskan jahitan. Done! J
