Pinterest (Semi) Failed & Nailed - Crocheted Baby Booties

So I was looking for an easy baby bootie crochet pattern.  I found this posted all over pinterest!  I tried it and it was very easy as the instructions and tag lines stated. However the finished project is more like baby socks than actual booties.  Now as a sock pattern I think they are fast, easy, warm and fuzzy. Just not a real bootie pattern, so kind of misleading.  The instructions were simple and easy to follow.  It took 15 minutes to make one bootie, 30 for a set.  They would be nice to have on hand in winter for an infant.  However there was only one size and I would say after 6 months they would no longer fit.  If you are good at crochet, then enlarging them shouldn't be a problem for you just add a couple of extra stitches to each row to add about 1/4 inch to the width and maybe an extra row or two to make them longer.

This pattern is Bev's Very Easy Booties - Copyright 1997-2013 Beverly A. Qualheim and located on her site at:


Here is the picture she has with the pattern:

Mine looked exactly like this except in light purple.  They were a hit at the baby shower I took them to with a matching Tulip Hat  I made as shown on:


These are easy and you could make a bunch to have on hand for new babies as they arrive.
Happy Crocheting!
