We are in love with these crochet boots! You can make these original crochet booties with just 1 ball of Azteca yarn by Katia, or use 2 balls and make the boots! They are so comfortable and beautiful… and easily made thanks to the Botties soles which are available on their website. This German mother-daughter team has numerous proposals for footwear made using Katia yarns that you can see on Facebook and Instagram.

The materials you will need to crochet the Botties booties or boots are:

Yarn:

1 ball Katia Azteca = booties

2 balls Katia Azteca = boots

Hook:

US C-2 / 2.75 mm crochet hook

US J-10 / 6mm crochet hook

Notions:

One pair of soles with soft inserts

Scissors, yarn needle, stitch markers

Gauge:

14 sts x 16 rows = 4×4”

It is very important to check your gauge so that the booties or boots are not too tight or too wide. 

The stitches are worked tightly to achieve a compact fabric.

Abbreviations:

• sc single crochet
• dec decrease
• sl st slip stitch
• st(s) stitch(es)
• […] (..) repeat the sts between square brackets or parenthesis as indicated

INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation: With C-2 hook and the heel facing you, insert hook from the inside to the outside of the central hole on the bottom row. Pass the yarn through the hole. Now insert the crochet hook through the hole on top of the first hole, from the outside to the inside; yarn over, pass the yarn through the hole and finish working the single crochet.

Repeat this operation around the rest of the sole, sl st in first st to close the round. Take care not to work the stitches too tightly so that the work can be continued later using the larger size hook. 

DECREASING

Now with the J-10 crochet hook.

Rounds 1-4: Sc in each st around.

Round 5: Start the decreases to make the tip of the boot. Place a stitch marker at the centre of the tip and in the 12th stitch counting from the first marker towards the left. Sc in each st around until you reach the marker, dec* with marked st and next st, move marker up, sc in next 2 sts, dec, sc in next 2 sts, dec, sc in next 2 sts, dec with marked st and next st, move marker up, sc in next 2 sts, dec, sc in next 2 sts, dec, sc in next 2 sts, sc in each remaining st around. 

Note: To work the dec, insert the hook in the just the front loop of both stitches (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops. 

Rounds 6-14: Sc in each st until 4 sts remain before the tip, dec, sc in next 2 sts, dec (= tip), sc in next 2 sts, dec., sc in each remaining st around.  

Round 15: Sc in each st to tip, dec, sc in each remaining st around. 

LEG SECTION

Round 16 and all remaining rounds: Sc in each st around. 

Work until you reach desired height. 1 ball of Azteca is required for 1 pair of short booties. 2 balls of Azteca are required for 1 pair of tall boots.

For a straight boot, begin increasing by 1 st at the centre of the heel starting from Round 30 and every 5 rounds. In the final two rounds, decrease by two stitches.

FINISHING

After last round, sl st into first st and fasten off. Weave ends in.
