A little Scandinavian style for the tiniest feet.

Malou takes its inspiration from classic winter boots, with a cozy ribbed cuff, a simple, timeless shape and a little bow that adds just enough personality.

The design has a relaxed, understated feel, making it a lovely choice for soft neutrals, warm winter shades or whatever colors happen to catch your eye.

A fun little crochet project for anyone who enjoys clean lines, cozy textures and thoughtful details, with a finished pair of booties that looks equally sweet as part of a winter outfit or tucked into a handmade baby gift.

Size: This pattern contains the description for 2 sizes: 0-3 months and 3-6 months.

Please note
Crochet shoes of any kind are not safe to actually walk in. They don’t offer enough support for little feet and ankles, and it’s very easy to slip in them and get hurt. That’s why I only offer this pattern for sizes up to 6 months, before babies usually start standing and walking.

Difficulty Level:
suitable for skilled beginners – this pattern contains detailed descriptions of each step, accompanied by numerous pictures and additional crochet charts for the sole

Stitches/ techniques used:
Chain stitch, slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet

Material:
* Any type of Sport weight yarn (CYC #2 Fine), approximately 175 yd / 1.75 oz (160 m / 50 g), in colors creme and beige as well as a small amount or red for the bow
I used Lana Grossa Cool Wool (100% extrafine merino wool), but you can substitute any yarn of a similar weight.

• Crochet hook in matching size, D-3 (3.0 mm)
• Stitch markers
• 5-10 safety pins
• Tapestry needle to weave in the ends
• Sewing thread in a matching color, along with a sewing needle and a pair of scissors

Gauge:
To get a reliable gauge for this project, it’ll be easiest to work one sole in the desired size as a test and then measure the length of it to see if it fits the indicated measurements.
