Pattern 2 (new born)
(second sole)
Ch 12
R1. 3sc in the 2nd ch from the hook
Sc in the next 3
Hdc in the next 3
Dc in the next 3
8dc in the next (end of ch)
Dc in the next 3
Hdc in the next 3
Sc in the next 3
2sc in the next (use hidden stitch)
Sl st in the 1st sc to join
R2. Ch1, 2dc in the next (next not same)
Dc in the next 10
2dc in the next 8
Dc in the next 10
2dc in the next 2 (yes use the st at the bottom of the ch)
Sl st to join in the 1st dc
Now put your hook back through that same stitch and slip stitch it to the same part on the sole, this stitch is to the left of the centre line of your sole. You will be working through both stitches on the new sole and one stitch left over when you worked in the back loops previously on the base. Match up the stitches all the way around with slip stitching and finish with a slip stitch into the sole. Fasten off and sew in the tail.
Tada…now smile as you look at your finished slipper
Then go and finish the other one.
To make laces for this slipper, make a chain of 130, then slip stitched all the way back. Make two.
Or you can sew on buttons
Liebe Karen, herzlichen Dank für deine Videos und die Zeit, die Du dafür aufwendest, um uns Deine Kreationen zu zeigen, die sehr gut erklärt werden. Es macht mir sehr viel Spass.
Thank you so much for your time & detailed explanation of these cute booties. I can't wait to make some. Yes you are correct about the cost of some of the crochet items in todays market. Everyone wants beautiful things for pennies. People today don't seem to understand the hours of training/experience we have to put in before we are able to achieve the works of art we make. I put so much love into the items I crochet. If I know who I am specifically make an item for I also say prayers for that person. If I make an item as a gift for someone & later see that they don't appreciate & take proper care of an item I have made, that person never again receives a handmade item from me. Lastly, I so enjoyed the history of your family as you connected it to yarn & crocheting. Please tell more stories as you produce more videos. P.S. I have said things & was later told it was not P.C. Take care & thanks again for sharing your patterns, videos & stories.
Ty. So much Karen. Love ur style of teaching especially ur little stories. U should always tell little story while teaching. I've done so much amigurumi in the last 2 years tightly crocheting. U showed me how to loosen up a bit listening to ur little stories. I also find myself repeating rows & stitches in my mind in ur English voice. So again keep on doing what u love cause i will follow.
The world is even crazier now
Love your videos
Thank u x
Been knitting and crocheting since I was 3, taught it at night school in the 80s but never knew the history of crochet. Thank you Karen.
I want to thank u for this lovely pattern. It was very easy to follow. U are a great teacher teaching me to make my first pair of baby converse. Your story was wonderful too. Gave me time to catch up with u lol. I can't wait to make them in so many colors. Once again THANK U FOR ALL U DO
I can knit, sew and quilt but crochet stumped me, until i came across your videos. You are a brilliant teacher and have made making these booties a pleasure....Thankyou
+nikki brimfield You're very welcome, I'm so pleased you have learned so quickly from my videos. Thank you for watching :)
Thankyou Karen I have followed all 5 videos for the new born boots. I love the fact that you are very explicit and your stages are easy to follow. I have completed 2pairs as they are a request for unborn girl twins. Thanks again.........Janis xxx
These are so sweet, have 14 th grandchild coming up and never knitted or crocheted a single bootee as the seem so old fashioned .....you have won me over.....im going to have a go
I have tried so many times to make shoes like this and couldn't get it until I found your videos. Baby shows are. Real challenge for me. Thank you so much for writing patterns and creating videos I can actually follow! You do beautiful work and a great job showing others how to crochet your designs!
I just want to thank you for all the videos, I have always been able to crochet, but I do not know how to read a pattern and by watching your videos I have learned so many different things. I can make so much more because I know what people are saying just because you explain it so well.
oh my goodness....how amazing are these little takkies....I made them and I want to frame them they turned out so beautiful...very, very nice video. Loved making them...Now to make them in different colours...whooohooo.....thank you so much. Lovely video to follow
I love these videos. Love listening to you chat about the history and other things. I love too that I can tell how much you enjoy crocheting just by listening to you! The slippers are adorable! Mine worked out perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
Love listening to the history of granny squares! I have been crocheting for a long time and remember making a granny square blanket as one of my first projects. Thank you for sharing the instructions on these adorable slippers!
Enjoyed working this pair of sneakers w you over here in USA and hearing info you had for us. I loved learning some history. These are so cute. I used a 4.00 for shoes but had to use a 3.75 for soles. Don't know what I did to cause that. But worked out and looks great. You're a genius to have figured shoe construction. I admire how you hold your hook to work. I never could do it w/o getting cramped. My mom and grandmother crocheted quite fast holding hook like you. Thank you. Very good, clear instruction.
I love following your videos - now I have to figure out how to follow the patterns for a two year old - a three year old and a five year old. Wish me luck! Glad you are feeling better.
You are fab Karen, thankyou for all you do for mere mortals like ourselves, sharing your talents and patterns for free is simply amazing and beautiful, I truly appreciate it, thankyou Xxx Ps. love your stories xxx
I can not wait for your book, and for your video on the granny square, thank you for sharing
Your such an amazing teacher being left handed I was a little worried but they turned out great. Best tutorial I’ve seen felt like we were sitting on couch having coffee and chatting away I loved the history of the granny square I told my daughter about it she thought my grandma invented it lol .. can’t wait for next one.. all my love from Canada !!!!!
Thank you for all you do to teach people like me. I love your channel and enjoy listening to you talk. I made a pair of pink and white. Thanks again.
Hi! I like your story! Bah! It is a crazy world we live in! Oh... love the converse, thank you.
I haven't been crocheting for long I'm 57 and time on my hands now!! I have just followed your videos stitch by stitch and completed a pair of baby converse... Rather chuffed with myself! Thank you for your videos I love them and hearing all your chit chat as you work! I wish I lived next door to you we could sit and crochet and natter! Haha xx
Thank you so much for this video, I am so appreciative of the time you took to pay attention to all the little details, it really makes a difference when you are a visual learner like myself. I am also thankful for the written instructions as well. I am having SO much fun with all the different color combinations, it's endless. Love how you are so personal it felt as if I were learning from a friend. Thank you for the history lesson on the granny square as well, it has inspired me to want to learn how to make them, can't wait. Mahalo. ( thank you.) Monika.
I have loved your videos! It was like having you over for tea ☕️ and visit. I live in Sedona Arizona USA. My people came over from England many generations ago. I found your talk very very interesting. My booties still need work. I am sure with a bit of practice. I will get it.
Thank you so much for the Tutorial on the little boots.Also the story about the History of Crocheting .x
Since discovering your channel, I am hooked on making these beautiful little slippers. The beauty is that I have made then in all colours and used odd bits of wool. Thank you for the so easy to follow tutorial videos.
I forgot to mention that I loved the additional history lesson. It was great!
A big thank you Karen. Just finished my baby's converse slipper. Your tutorials are very comprehensive. Keep it up
Thank you so much for this video tutorial. I have never been able to make booties . But today I have thanks to you .
All 5 of the sessions were wonderful. I was able to follow along between the written and your tutorial my "shoe" turned out pretty good. I had a hard time with the added sole, with a little more practice I think I'll get it. You are a great teacher and I love the history lesson. I can't wait for a lesson on the original granny square.
I want to thank you for doing these . I have tried a few of these before finding yours and well they didn't work out like i would like them to .Yours was great.Working step by step made a big difference . They are so adorable. My sons first boy is due any day now and he loved them . Thank you so much again. I look forward to seeing all your work. You take a lot of time and explain everything great Thank You big thumbs up
Lovely Karen. Thanks so much for sharing your creations, all a delight to watch and make.
I love how you share history while you teach. This 5 part pattern series was very easy to follow. I am almost finished with my first pair for my grandson due in July. I'm so excited to see them on him. Thank you!
Thank you for making it simple to follow. These are the first shoes I have made. My new grandson will look so cute. Please make more tutorials.
Thank you so much for the very easy to fallow video. I have never watched a video as well done as yours. You are so talented. I really enjoy all your videos. Your history on crochet was enjoyable as well.
I just made a pair of the sneakers. Love them. Enjoyed listening to the history of crocheting while I made them . Thank You
Karen, I want to say thank you for this video series, I just found out my handsome nephew and his beautiful wife are going to have their first child. I thought I would make a pair of sneakers and a pair of sandals for a gender reveal. I have watched parts 1-3 and so I am almost finished but I did skip and put the second sole on it is just so amazing.....and loved your history lesson on the granny square...thank you thank you......you are an excellent instructor......
I really loved the converse I am specting a grandaughter soon and I am going crazy crocheting everything I can, thank You very much for teaching us what You know.

Absolutely thrilled and delighted with this pattern. Thank you so much for sharing it free. You are a wonderful lady. I've just finished a pair for my first grandson due in July. Your thoughtfulness has made my life better. From just across the water xx
thank you so much I am a beginner, and I just made this shoes with your videos for my niece 😍. Hers are pink and black and I just love them 👌
thank you for such easy videos to follow, i have tried a few others and couldn't even get the sole done, now my grandson will have a pair of these booties when he arrives next month :-)
Great , Just finished making them in blue and white,!!!! they look wonderful, great teaching video x
I really love doing this converse for my grandson. It took me some time but iv'e got it. My problem was making the different color sole. i had to make the same color. love it thanks a lot had fun
What a lovely History lesson!! Thank you so much for sharing that! I love History and find it exciting that so many others share that same love. I hope your book is going well. Thank you so much for these beautiful baby slippers pattern and sharing it as well.
Karen, you're such a good teacher that you helped me figure out problems I was having with other beginner patterns I'd found on other channels! Thank you SO much! These are absolutely adorable!
The father of the baby I made these for has issues with his baby looking masculine. A "boonie hat" (also known by some as a fishing hat or the hat Gilligan wore) in the same colors of the booties met the father's approval. Thanks to you, Karen, I was able to improvise a boonie hat & need no pattern. Your use of slip stitches to define lines really helped!
Thank you so much! I made a pair for my first grandchild and I love them!! I really enjoyed all your videos and loved listening to you chatter away. Felt like I was listening to a friend 💕☺️
i juat made one today for my baby which will arrive on november.thank u so much its so so cute and easy to make.
Just love these videos. Can't wait til you get the adult ones done!
Karen, I truly thank you for this fabulous video. I finally am able to make my first pair of sneakers. I also enjoyed your story. God Bless you.

Brilliant. I actually crotchet exactly the same as you. !! A lot of people use the pointing finger , I use the second one just like you lol xx If you know what I mean ..
Absolutely amazing tutorial! I've only been crocheting 8 months and found your tutorial so easy to follow; I'm also left handed and found even following your right hand method that it was so easy to do and I've now a lovely pair of converse as a result to gift to a friend who's baby is due this October. Thank you for taking the time out to make these tutorials (I love your sense of humor too!), Dee xx
Thank you so much, I loved learnning from you. Your story I like very much also. My new grand baby will look so smart in his new shoses. thanks T.
I really enjoy your videos! I find that as you talk through the pieces with a bit of interesting history entwined, I can relax and concentrate so much easier than any other video person I've followed. Thank you for these videos. I've finished a tiny pair of pink converse & just now am completing my baby blue converse (not sure yet if our first grandchild will be a boy or girl)! Very Very adorable slippers. again thank you.
