About Paula
I love this pattern so much! Thanks for sharing. Definitely my favorite pair of booties that I’ve ever made. They turned out so cute! Can’t express that enough
thanks again.
Woohoo! I’m so happy to hear you say that! You are welcome and I’m glad my design is your favorite! You’ve made my day so thank you.
Love this pattern! just made a pair of green ones for my nephew (: he’s already growing out of them though, so I was wondering how would I (or where, really) add stitches in order to make a bigger pair? Thanks!
Thank you Taylor. To make a bigger pair you can use thicker yarn and a larger sized hook.
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I made these last night using both your pattern and video. Your instructions were very clear and the video was very very helpful. The booties turned out wonderful! Thanks again.
Hello Stacey,
You’re welcome. It’s always great to hear that both the pattern and video tutorial has been helpful. I’m glad your booties turned out wonderful, thank you for letting me know!
I adore this pattern. I have made smaller, and larger, by following your suggestion of changing hook size and yarn thickness. I would, however, love to make a pair for myself, so is it possible to help me with the pattern adjustments, please? I don’t think they make hooks large enough to create an adult boot…..lol
Thanks….very cool booties!
Hello Beverley,

Hi paula I too started crocheting when I was 10. I love your pattern. I want to know am I allowed to make the booties for sale on Etsy thanks
Hi Sharon, So you’ve been crocheting for quite some time too then! I’m glad you love my pattern. Feel free to use any of my patterns to make items and sell them. I hope you sell many!

That’s great, Darvonna! Thank you for sharing what works.
Hi, Paula… this is my first time to make a booties n i really like this pattern ^^ i just made it n really love it.. but a bit confused about the stitches if i wanna make a bigger size.. is there any suggestion for that? thank u very much..
Hello Vera, Thank you for liking my pattern. If you’d like a bigger size you can always use a larger crochet hook and thicker yarn.
I want to do these booties to test out the ability I have in reading the shorthand of the crocheting world. I was wondering, in between the first round and the second round, you say trim the yarn tail off, then in the second round you say do 2 hdc into the same sp you did the sl st. I was wondering if you mean fasten off and then do them or, if not, how do I add them into the same spot lol, just a little confused is all.
Hi Amanda,
Where I say trim the tail off, that’s the end of the yarn tail that you worked over when you worked the first round, no I don’t mean finish off. Hope this helps!
Wow thank you they are soooo cute and I crocheted them and they turned out awesome. I really love your videos and your videos are the best , thank you soo much ,I’m 13
