Pattern 2 (new born)
Tongue
Toe section
R1. Ch3, 8hdc in the 3rd ch from the hook
R2. Ch1, turn, 2sc in each st (total 16 sc)
To straighten the edge, work sc, 2sc, 2sc, 2sc, sc (8sc)
Slip stitch to the 1st sc in R2.
Fasten off leaving a really long tail to use to attach the toe section to the base of your slipper.
Now work up the straight part of the tongue.
Leave a really long tail to use to do the slip stitching around the completed straight area.
Count back 8 stitches from the slip stitch (don’t count the slip stitch as a stich)
R1. Cast on with a sc and sc in the next 7 (total 8sc)
R2 to R8. Sc in each st (8sc)
Fasten off with a normal length tail to sew in.
Pick up the really long tail of the straight piece and use it to slip st all around the straight piece.
Fasten off and sew in all loose ends, leaving the really long tail from the toe section.
Now put your hook through the toe piece and slip stitch the tongue to the base by matching up your stitches. It will look too small, but don’t worry, if you have counted all your stitches correctly, it will fit and round the slipper end nicely.
Sew in the loose end.
Your slipper will be all floppy, but the next parts stiffen it up to give a beautiful finish.

Love Karen and her channel. Studying these for my first grandchild.

[@nancyqueen1046]

I love your baby slippers how can I get a written pattern for the different sizes

[@carolconti4002]

Loved making these booties. Thank you for suggesting to work both booties at the same time rather than finishing one and then starting another. That made all the difference! I don’t know how many booties I tried to make by making one in its entirety and then making the other. The result was always one was bigger than the other. When I tried this pattern, they came out beautifully!

[@lynetterogers9083]

Thank you for your instructions on the converse booties. I love the history lessons as well. The think you teach crochet very well and I simply find you delightful! Thank you, thank you for sharing your talents and passion for crochet.

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

You're welcome 😊

[@Shazzar86]

Hi Karen, I have enjoyed this pattern. One thing I did find was it was easier to make the toe cover part using a magic circle rather than a chain 3. It closes up much nicer with a magic circle and doesn't leave a big hole over the toes. 😊

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

Thank you for sharing your idea ☺️

[@kayg3054]

I thank you so much,the best beautiful baby boots ever. Thank you so much again.

[@SUZYB13]

I’m enjoying making this with you and listening to you speak. Thanks for sharing with us 😊

[@najetkottaya1153---]

Hi Karen!effectivement votre crochet est parmi les plus faciles qu'il m'était donné de rencontrer sur youtube!!je tiens à vous remercier grandement pour tout le plaisir que j'ai eu à suivre vos explications même si je ne comprends pas grand chose à ce que vous dite vu que je ne suis pas anglophone mais même en faisant les mêmes gestes que vous,cela a marché!bravo chère amie pour la simplicité de vos explications et pour leur clarté!bye

[@lynnalexander7368]

I am a beginner,,,I find your videos awesome. I am making the converse shoes with laces......They are so cute. Keep the videos coming They are easy to follow and I love your voice....and your little remarks every so often.

[@taraqueen58]

Want to make my grandson a pair of converse booties and as a very new beginner I find your pattern the easiest to follow.

[@cherylhaney3250]

What an amazing teacher I have been crocheting for many years I just love the way u teach and I love the history lessons I have had a call for still bigger slipper like this I would so appreciate if you could let me know the adjustments to be made thank you for being such a great teacher

[@vivcoso]

It's funny that you were talking about left hand. My Mother was left-handed and I learned crocheting from her and I'm right-handed. She said that I'm the only one that she knows that picked it up from her the first time because most right-handed people find it difficult to learn from someone using the opposite hand. I love the lace eyelets that you included in the shoe for the laces. That would make it much easier to thread. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! :D

Hi Karen. How lovely to find your booties to crochet - nearly at the end now! Thank you. It was great to hear your history of granny squares, I realised you were a 'northerner' and I am just down the road in Mansfield! Great to find you, keep up the good work :-)

[@stelliaquintero9782]

Hola buen día saludos desde Colombia muy hermoso trabajo gracias por compartir tan hermosa obra bye bye

[@pegn3985]

For those asking without response....you can just do a magic circle, chain 1, then do 8 HDC in the ring and then follow along with the rest as usual. Mine came out perfect and it was easy to pull it tight. I hope that makes sense.

[@Lamplighter4712]

I have often thought that the art of crochet probably evolved from fishermen mending their nets at sea .. ancient navigators .. but that is just my theory with no proof .. good video those came out soooo cute and adorable Thank you much

[@veraperisa4445]

[@debcodding8609]

Thank you so much for this set of videos. You are very talented and you have made your videos very understandable. Additionally, it is fun listening to you talk...I tend to be so not-politically-correct that I just chuckled through that section. You are so right, it is hard to know what we can and can't say.

This pattern has helped me create my own pattern for baby booties. Thank you for sharing(:

[@rubysplace9367]

your Channel I just love the way you teach there are so many out here but you explain everything from step to step it is so easy to follow you and you do it in a nice Pace you don't go too fast and you don't go too slow which is wonderful so I thank you Karen for taking the time out to teach us I'm in the United States I live in Pennsylvania and I enjoy I'm about to have my great-granddaughter and I just love these little slippers I'm going to make her her the James slippers and the convert slippers but in pink and white I think these are so adorable and thank you so much do you have any baby jackets and baby dresses that you have done and where can I find them thank you so much for your time and for your teaching God bless TV

[@dawnt383]

Thank you for making me work in pairs and breaking these down in to parts, it seems much quicker to do. The pattern I have crocheted before, the toe is compicated to crochet in, then you add the tongue in from the side of the toe after. This is easier. I am just curious why you use US terms on not UK? It confused me at first, but I am familiar with both. I love the variation of them and the different sizes.

[@denisemills4552]

Sahool Sahool hi Karen I am a slow lender so can you please slow down so I will understand better I am very slow in catching on I am learning very well I'm on the tongue I just not catching on on the tongue everything else I got it perfect will that tongue for some reason I am not catching on thank you so much for helping people like us

thank you

[@fehonicakastiel3474]

Yu are so great😊😊

[@anakokir947]

thank you !😘

[@jjones8282]

The moon shape for the toe I have done in reverse. II did a chain of 16, then turned and did a sc in each stitch, turn then do a dbl in ev other stitch to reduce down to 8 stitches, turn then do a dbl in ev other stitch to 4 stitches. This leaves a level enough edge to continue with the tongue. Hope this helps.

[@Nineteen-Eighty-Nine]

This was easy to follow even though it seems hard for beginners like me, but I find no difficulties making it and I really love it

[@lynnecurcio2302]

I have made these and they turned out beautifully. Have you ever made cowboys. really need a good patter for them. Thank you for your videos, they are a great help.

[@nadiasmhan9695]

شكر وتقدير الله يجزيكي الخير

[@theriversong1]

Suggestion: When you say 'leave a really long tail,' perhaps it would be helpful if you said how many inches. I keep running short and have to attach more, which of course leaves an unsightly knot... Otherwise, great lesson!

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

+Sheryl Smith suggestion noted, I will measure my yarn tails and share that in future videos :)

[@veronicalotter3066]

It is beautiful I am waiting for 2 great grand babies this year and I d like the written instructions. where can I find it

[@teresabarker3780]

I have just found your site. It is very good. I am enjoying making my Granddaughter to be some of your slippers. One question though. Being new to crochet, I can't see how you manage to pull the yarn to make the hole in the tongue smaller. Do you catch the tail end under the stitches?

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

+Teresa Barker Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm happy you're enjoying my videos :) No I don't work my yarn under my stitches, I personally love to be able to pull my ends tight and sew them into place. I always leave a long tail end to sew in, normally 10 to 12 inches because it's easier for me to work with.

[@ffbeautycorner300]

please tell me how many chains should i do for my 2 year ol brother and your videos are nice

[@mariasterrenburg6888]

[@wendyblakely1286]

Love your videos. Are we allowed to download your video to watch off-line due to my net here is limited and it uses more for me to keep watching? For personal use only.

[@Faith-oi2yh]

Is there anyway you could make the “vans” every pattern I’ve seen is in another language. I absolutely loved making theses and I’m definitely going to have to start working pairs it’s so much easier!!!

[@kasturhirani5879]

Hi l was trying to crochet your new born baby converse style slippers and I can not find the end part Like your way is very good to understandThank you for

[@janethfalck1685]

great videos Karen. I'm a beginner. I cannot find the part 4 to finish this petite baby converse. Please, could you tell me o send me the link for part 4.

[@paulianapapin9020]

Hi Karen. I enjoyed doing your stuff, but you don't show how to make the lace for the converse. Please do. Thank you.

[@villargab]

❤️

[@lorettametz1504]

Hi Karen, when I'm making the tongue I end up with a mess. it has to do with the magic knot. how do you keep it from getting bigger? how do you keep the hole from getting looser or bigger as you are doing your eight stitches in the last chain? the first one I did had no problems, now I'm having a heck of a time, I'm getting odd shaped. can't keep them even.

[@hollywalters9071]

These are amazing, where can I buy the patterns please.

[@wendywomack8199]

I can't seem to find part 1 of the newborn converse bootie videos. I've seen parts 2-5, but can't find part 1.

[@veronicalotter3066]

ID Like the whole pattern sole,front and back and tongue please

[@tonnicantrell2324]

I made a pair for my grandson for Christmas and they were a big hit. Now his sister wants a pair (actually whole family does) so my question is... Which pattern do I need for adult size 9 us?

[@rickilieberman2136]

I am very confused I started with video 1 then everyone said it’s too big for newborn. Which video do I watch for Newborn...which video first second third or fourth... which should I be following and are the corrections in the printed pattern under the video. Our baby is going to be 4 weeks and I would like to make them fit. They are so cute and you have a soft touch. I am just confused, but want to try and make them!

[@LFosen1]

Where can I find your video that contains information about the history of the granny square?

[@joeyjansen8459]

In which part are you showing the extra soul you made and attached it

[@asadmerza8602]

Oh

[@kathleenandreasen2085]

Why do you do most of your sewing in of the tail ends on the outside of the bootie, rather than pulling it through and doing it on the inside?

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

+Kathleen Andreasen I do it that way because I think it's easier to get a good finish.

[@gemarivera2848]

Love your video very easy to follow do you have a video for adult snikers

[@teresashaw5526]

Hi when will u do the adult slippers tatorial.

[@sehamalahmad2584]

🌺🌺👍👍

[@khristiegriffis2]

Can you make a 6-9 month old one?

[@beverleywilson4044]

Hi Karen I am having so much trouble with the start of the tongue. I am doing the first part and once I finish I am unable to pull in to make the hole smaller I just get a knot which won't move. What am I doing wrong is it the way I am starting my chain? I have spent 2 hours just trying to get this right I am just about ready to give up 😢😢

[@Nikki0loves0october]

Im having the same problem! Did you ever get it figured out?

[@donnajones2271]

I can not do it either, turns into a big mess, and even tried the magic circle, which makes closing it a breeze, but it don't even come close to anything Karen makes :(

[@Nikki0loves0october]

Donna Jones same!

[@donnajones2271]

found this posted further down in the comments.....^^For those asking without response....you can just do a magic circle, chain 1, then do 8 HDC in the ring and then follow along with the rest as usual. Mine came out perfect and it was easy to pull it tight. I hope that makes sense. (worked for me too)!

[@shannonlee1010]

no matter what i do on the half moon shape... i can't pull my tail to tighten up the hole. it just creates a tighter knot. :-(

[@beverleywilson4044]

Shannon Harriman me too have you worked out what we are doing wrong?

[@shannonlee1010]

it worked for me when i do the magic circle

[@joopenshaw7368]

[@jdcrone1102]

i used the magic circle. worked well for me

[@magsmarchelak967]

as a novice i struggled for ages doing the loops and i realised that there were errors in the written transcript. I am hard of hearing and had to listen to the video about eighty times to get the gist of what was being said. Before someone helpfully points out i could just watch the video> I am dyslexic and the mirror image thing is difficult. It would be really helpful if you could state when colour changes are being made as I finally succeeded in making a booty but the colours were reversed lol

You are a very good teacher but the coughing is tooooooooooooo irritating

[@karenkolbin]

I hope you will not worry about being "PC" .. I would most hope we aren't so afraid to be ourselves and be free to be who we are because of the "PC" police that somehow we who are simply good, normal people live in fear of who might be offended by US. It seems the evil element are as always not the least bit concerned about offending US :)

[@kateybug092]

How you speak confuses me so much. When you were saying "turn" I though you were saying "two", so I was on my second shoe before I realized what you said. Please annunciate. And I have absolutely no idea what you are doing on the tongue after the sixteen single crochets. Something about a bar?
