Whether you’re an experienced crocheter or just starting out in the world of crochet, making a crochet baby Converse sneaker can be a fun and rewarding project. This crochet sneaker model is a take on the iconic Converse sneaker, and is perfect for gifting a newborn baby or adding a fun and unique touch to your little one’s wardrobe.
Materials:
Woolen yarn (preferably 100% cotton) in two colors (one for the shoe and one for the shoelaces)
Crochet hook (size 3.5mm)
Scissors
tapestry needle
Step 1: Start by making the sole of the shoe. To do this, start with a magic ring and crochet six single crochets inside the ring. Then make two single crochets in each single crochet on the previous row. Continue increasing in this manner until you have a total of 18 single crochets.
Step 2: Now, work around the circle making a single crochet in each single crochet on the previous row. Repeat this row until the sole of the shoe is the desired measurement for your baby’s foot size.
Step 3: Once you have the sole of the shoe ready, start working on the body of the shoe. Start at the back of the shoe, making high stitches around the edge of the sole of the shoe. Continue working in rows of double crochets until the shoe body is the desired height.
Step 4: When you reach the desired height for the body of the shoe, start working on the sides. To make the sides, start working in low points around the body of the shoe. Make a single crochet in each double crochet on the previous row. Continue working around the shoe, making single crochets, until the side of the shoe is the desired height.
Step 5: When you reach the desired height for the side of the shoe, start working on the upper part of the shoe. Make a row of single crochets around the edge of the side of the shoe. Then make a row of double crochets around the edge of the previous row. Continue working in high points until the top of the shoe is the desired width.
Step 6: To make the laces, cut a piece of yarn in the chosen color and make a chain long enough to tie around the shoe. Repeat the process with another piece of yarn in the same color. Thread the laces through the holes in the top of the shoe and tie them at the top.
Step 7: To finish the sneaker, use the tapestry needle to hide the loose ends of the yarn.
With these simple steps, you can make a beautiful crochet baby Converse sneaker. Remember to choose a soft and comfortable wool yarn, so that the baby feels comfortable and warm on his feet. In addition, you can customize the shoe with different colors and patterns to make it even more unique and fun.
When crocheting baby Converse sneakers, it’s important to remember that the baby is still developing, and their feet can grow quickly. So make sure you measure your baby’s feet correctly before starting the project, and adjust the shoe size if necessary.
This project is a great way to practice your crochet skills and create a unique and special piece for a sweet baby in your life. After all, there’s nothing more adorable than a baby with a pair of handmade crochet sneakers.
