Crochet Rolled Down Booties are an adorable, cozy footwear option for babies that combine warmth, style, and simplicity. These booties are especially known for their soft, cuffed design, where the upper edge is gently rolled down to create a snug and stylish look. The fold-over cuff adds a touch of charm while also helping the booties stay securely on baby’s feet. They’re great for everyday wear, chilly outings, or even as part of a handmade baby shower gift.
The pattern typically begins with a crocheted sole, made using basic stitches like single crochet (SC) or half double crochet (HDC), shaped in an oval to match the contour of the baby’s foot. After completing the sole, you build up the sides of the bootie in rounds or rows, depending on the pattern style. Once the foot section is shaped and closed, the upper part of the bootie is worked up the ankle for a few rows and then rolled down to create the signature cuff. Some variations include ribbed or textured cuffs for extra style and stretch.
These booties can be made using soft worsted-weight yarn, making them both warm and breathable. They’re highly customizable—change colors for different looks, add buttons or bows on the cuff, or use a faux fur trim for winter flair. Because of their simple construction and small size, Rolled Down Booties are a great project for beginners and work up quickly, often within 1–2 hours. They’re a perfect mix of practicality and cuteness, making them a staple in any handmade baby wardrobe.
