Whether you’re making a baby shower gift or adding a trendy item to your crochet shop, this step-by-step guide will help you create beautiful crochet baby sneakers with confidence.

Materials & Crochet Supplies You’ll Need

To make these crochet baby booties, gather the following materials:

  • Fingering / 4-ply / Super Fine 100% cotton yarn
  • 2.00 mm crochet hook (booties)
  • 1.75 mm crochet hook (laces & logo)
  • Stitch markers
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors
  • Textile glue
  • 1mm polyester felt (for logo)

This pattern works best with lightweight cotton yarn to keep the baby shoes soft, breathable, and comfortable.

Crochet Baby Shoe Sizes (Newborn to 9 Months)

Before starting, measure the baby’s foot inner length. If measuring isn’t possible, use this general size guide:

  • Newborn: 8 cm
  • 0–3 months: 9 cm
  • 3–6 months: 10 cm
  • 6–9 months: 11 cm

The pattern includes instructions for all sizes. Adjust hook size slightly if your gauge differs. For a perfect sole fit, crochet tightly and always check measurements.

Step 1: Crochet the Sole (Make 2)

Start with the foundation chain according to size. The sole is worked in the round around both sides of the chain.

Rounds include combinations of:

  • Double crochet increases
  • Single crochet
  • Half double crochet
  • Slip stitch join

The final round is worked evenly around to shape the sole. For slight size adjustment (2–3 mm), you can substitute half double crochet instead of single crochet in the last round.


Step 2: Crochet the Sides of the Sole

With the sole wrong side up, work in the back loops only (BLO) for the first round to create the sneaker edge effect.

Continue with single crochet rounds to build height. The number of rounds varies slightly by size.

This step forms the classic sneaker wall structure.


Step 3: Add Decorative Stitching

This is where the sneakers come to life!

  • Use black yarn for the classic side stitching.
  • Add red or black slip stitch along the last sole round.

These small details give the baby booties an authentic Converse-inspired look.

Weave in ends neatly for a professional finish.


Step 4: Shape the Toe Section

The toe is worked back and forth instead of in the round.

You’ll use:

  • Single crochet
  • Double crochet decreases (dc2tog)
  • Chain turns

This shapes the front of the sneaker and creates the curved toe cap structure.

Step 5: Crochet the Tongue

The tongue is worked in rows using alternating single crochet and double crochet rows.

Finish with a shaping row that includes:

  • Single crochet
  • Half double crochet
  • Double crochet

This creates a smooth rounded edge that fits perfectly under the laces.


Step 6: Crochet the Shoe Sides (Upper)

Now attach yarn at the toe edge and work back and forth to create the high-top sneaker shape.

The rows gradually decrease using dc2tog to shape the ankle curve.

After finishing rows, crochet single crochet evenly along the top edge and reinforce corners.

Repeat for the second bootie.


Step 7: Make the Laces

You have two options:

Option 1: Chain 105–115 stitches
Option 2: Use two strands of yarn (52–55 cm long)

Thread laces through the eyelets and tie into a bow for that classic sneaker look.


Step 8: Add the Logo (2 Options)

Personalize your crochet baby Converse shoes with a logo!

Option 1: Star Logo

  • Crochet a small circle using a magic ring
  • Increase in second round
  • Embroider a star with black yarn
  • Attach using textile glue or sew with blind stitch

Option 2: Baby Initials

  • Embroider initials on felt circle
  • Cut out
  • Attach securely

These finishing touches make your handmade baby sneakers look boutique-quality.
