BabyConverse-English 1 crochet pattern

A remark before you start: this is my first pattern. I hope it is understandable. Materials: Yarn leftovers in two colors. I think it looks best with white and a color. One color is used for the sole, sides of sole and toe cap. (I used white.) The other is used for the tongue and the sides of the bootie. (I used blue.) Very short length of black for the star, or use the same as the bootie. Double pointed or circular needle in size for the yarn. To get the right density, use a needle that is smaller than recommended for the size of the yarn. I used a 3 mm. A crochet hook in the same size for the star circle. Abbreviations: Sl 1: slip 1 stitch as if to purl K: knit P: purl M1: make one. Lift the strand between two stitches on the previous row and knit into the back leg. Pick up: slide the needle tip into the next edge stitch. The pattern uses several types of pick up instructions. Pick up under both legs - lift both sides of the stitch on the edge and work into both. Pick up under inside leg - lift only the leg that is on the inside of the edge. Purl or knit it as directed. Pick up and knit: pick up a stitch with the new yarn through the edge. Hdc: half double crochet (US), half treble (htr) (UK) Pattern Stitches: Work in seed stitch: knit the purls in the row below, purl the knits. Work the M1 stitches to fit into the pattern. This makes a pattern that alternates knits and purls both horizontally and vertically. Rib: knit the knits from the previous row, purl the purls. This makes a pattern that alternates knits and purls horizontally, but aligns them vertically. Stockinette: knit all stitches on the right side, purl all stitches on the wrong side.

Sole:Worked in seed stitch. About 11 cm long and 4 cm wide. The sole is worked in seed stitch with a selvedge stitch on either side. Slip the first stitch of each row as if to purl and knit it at the end of the row. You may end up with two knit stitches at the end of a row; thats okay.

Repeat rows 2 and 3. (10 stitches) Repeat row 3 for 15 rows. The sole should measure about 5 cm. Next row: Sl 1, M1, work in seed stitch to last stitch, M1, knit.

Now insert the right needle into all three and knit them together.

Row 2: Slip 1, work 6 stitches in rib. Work back and forth on these 7 stitches, repeating rows 1 and 2, joining to the sole every other row by working the last stitch together with both legs of the next stitch on the sole until there are no more sole stitches.

At the end, graft or sew the two ends together.


Contrast accent:With a crochet hook, right side facing, work a row of chain stitch around the uppermost purl stitch on the side edge, using the contrast color. If you prefer, you can embroider this row using back stitch or chain stitch.


Tongue and Toe:Mark the 9th stitch on either side of the toe. An easy way to do this is to pull a loop of contrast yarn through the stitches. It can just go from one side of the foot to the other, as in the photo.
