Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight cotton yarn
• Crochet Hook: 6.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 10 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the foundation of your booties.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. To do this, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on your hook. Join the round with a slip stitch (sl st) in the first sc. (You should have 6 stitches now.)
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (this does not count as a stitch). Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. This means you will place 2 sc in each of the 6 stitches from Round 1. Join with a slip stitch. (12 stitches total)
4. Round 3: Chain 1. *1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch* - repeat from * to * around. This will increase your stitch count. Join with a slip stitch. (18 stitches total)
5. Rounds 4-6: Chain 1. Single crochet in each stitch around. This means you will work 1 sc in each of the 18 stitches from the previous round. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. (18 stitches each round)
6. Round 7: Chain 1. *Front post double crochet (fpdc) in the next stitch, back post double crochet (bpdc) in the next stitch* - repeat from * to * around. To do a fpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the front to the back around the post of the stitch, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through the last two loops. For a bpdc, yarn over, insert your hook from the back to the front around the post of the stitch, and follow the same steps as the fpdc. Join with a slip stitch. (18 stitches total)
7. Rounds 8-10: Repeat Round 7. This will create the ribbed texture for the cuff of the booties. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round.
8. Finish: Fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a long tail. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
