“Good book for anyone who needs a choice of booties” August 1, 2010
I needed to make some baby gifts quick and I found what I needed in this book with bootie patterns to crochet for both boys and girls.
I intend to use it to keep gifts on hand so I will be prepared next time. I love the choices.

About Paula
The baby booties are just adorable, Paula! How have you been?
Thanks Mary Jane, I’m doing well thank you!
Paula! I am watching you from Bosnia and Herzegovina. You are amazing! I am begginer in this, I would like to learn the same but for adults. Can you post it on youtube?
Hello Lajla!! Welcome to Crochet Hooks You! Wow, that’s interesting to hear you are watching my videos from Bosnia. Thanks for your lovely comment. I will put it on my to-do list to make an adult version video tutorial of these booties.
Hello, these are just what I was looking for! Cute as a bug! Thank you for the pattern.
Thanks LeAnn, I’m glad you like them!
these booties are the cutest i’ve seen! thank you for the helpful video too. i’ve been searching youtube for 3 days and still had yet to find one that clearly made sense.
Thanks very much, Alycia! I’m happy to hear you found the video helpful too. Wow, a 3 day search for a clear pattern and video on booties sounds like a long search! Thankfully, you found my crochet toffee apple baby booties to satisfy your needs.
Hi,
First of all, many many many thanks Paula.. Your instructions are very clear and great. I love your video tutorials. I have a question to you as a more experienced crocheter than I. How can I adapt this pattern to create a bigger size?
Hi Fatma,
Thanks very much, I’m glad you can understand my instructions. You can adapt this pattern by using a larger crochet hook.
3.5mm hook for 3-6 mths old
4mm hook for 6-9 mths old
5mm hook for 9-12 mths old
Hi Paula!
I’m from the Philippines and I’m gonna be a mom next year (after 3 years of waiting).
Thank you so much for this tutorial/pattern
I am so glad to find your website and videos, they are really very helpful. I could learn easily from them.
Sadly though, the common yarn available here in our country is the acrylic one. Sometimes if you’re lucky you can find cotton yarn being sold by local suppliers online. I think there’s only one or two shops here in Manila who sells around 5 types of yarns which are imported (and a bit pricey).
What kind of yarn would you recommend for a tropical country like ours?
Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge in crocheting!
That’s exciting you’ll be a new mom next year!!
I’m glad you like my tutorials and patterns.
Seen as you can’t get the types of yarn that we get here the only thing I can think of is that you can order some online and have it sent to you.
I hope this helps.
hi Poula,
depending on fatmas que how did the size of the hook could vary the size of the booties?
The larger the hook the larger the bootie will be.
I love the colours you have used for the booties, they look so cute!
Thank you, I wanted to make them look as ‘toffee apple’ as I could.
I loved these booties! I have been crocheting for a couple of months and all the other booties I’ve tried to make never come out good! These were easy with the video turorial! thank you very much. I used green, red and white for Christmas! I would love to show you a pic but I don’t know how to put a pic up here.
