A little while ago I shared my pattern for the Loopy Love Newborn Baby Booties, and asked if you’d like to see them in more sizes… and the answer was a resounding Yes! So today I’ve finally finished the patterns for the next 3 sizes, and am proud to present the Loopy Love Big Baby Booties!

Ok, so “Big Baby Booties” is a hilarious name (at least if you have kept your inner 12 year old nurtured, as I have), but these sizes complete the “baby” selection of sizes, with 3 mths, 6 mths, and 12 mths. I’d like to make bigger sizes as well, but will likely start with a thicker yarn, rather than the baby weight yarn used here.

Son preciosos! Lástima que no entienda el crochet en inglés. …. :(((((
Allison says
I just have a quick question about the fpdc2tog and fpdc3tog. I’m teaching myself how to do this stuff and typically turn you how to YouTube videos for stitch tutorials. I haven’t found one for the 3tog but have seen the 2tog being done in various ways. I’m just wanting to do it the way that’s needed for this pattern. Do I just not YO between stitches unlike the dc2tog where you do YO between each stitch? Also on the each how many loops will be on the hook when you pull through for the last time?
Tamara Kelly says
For a dc3tog, it’s just like a dc2tog with one more stitch involved – you yo before each one. So basically, for a fpdc3tog, it’s like this:
Yo, insert hook around indicated stitch, yo, pull up loop, yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops remain on hook), Yo, insert hook around next stitch, yo, pull up loop, yo, pull through 2 loops (3 loops remain on hook), Yo, insert hook around indicated stitch, yo, pull up loop, yo, pull through 2 loops (4 loops remain on hook), yo and pull through all 4 loops on hook.
Does that help?
Allison says
Yes, thank you! That’s what I was doing but thought to just check and make sure by watching a tutorial and they didn’t yarn over between stitches which just confused me.
Tamara Kelly says
That *is* odd that they didn’t yarn over! I guess maybe for certain applications that might give a better result, but in this pattern, it’s the “usual” way. 🙂
AllIson says
Finished and they are adorable! Can’t wait for my little one to get here to put them on her!
jeanette bouchard says
do you have a pattern for slippers for adults loved the one for babies thank you
Tamara Kelly says
I have three patterns for adult slippers, but none in this style just yet! You can find my other slippers patterns at http://rav.to/1MUN32f
JuneMarie Graham says
Hi – I can’t believe this question hasn’t been asked a million times : I notice in the pictures a matching blanket to the bootie trio set . . .can you share a link?
Thank you in advance.
JuneMarie
Tamara Kelly says
Ah, sorry about that! That’s the Loopy Love Blanket ! 🙂
Joyce brown says
What does it mean fpdc3tpg
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Joyce! That would be front post double crochet 3 together.
Tamara Kelly says
That is a typo, I’m sorry! It should read fpdc3tog. 🙂
Rachel k says
I just want to say you are one of the best designers I have found on the web, your patterns are beautiful, free, and most importantly, easy to follow! I have been making these for the charity baby showers at our local medical clinic, everybody is in love with them! I have had hundreds of people ask for the adult version lol I have referred them to your page so they can try one of your adult slipper patterns. Thank you for your beautiful work, and all your tutorials!
Tamara Kelly says
Hello Rachel! Thank you so much, I am honored you say so! And thank you so much for crocheting for charity – and sharing that with me! 😀 ♥
Nanci says
Hi! Quick question. Just wanted to double check, When joining for the upper portion pattern, I am joining at the heel?
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Nanci! Yes! 😀
rebecca says
This is such a sweet little pattern! I made these booties in the colors of the flag of Ireland in preparation for St Patrick’s Days and they are cuuuuuuuute!

Tamara Kelly says
