Product Description
This pattern is written for 3-6 months baby size and includes 2 charts. The 3 other sizes (0-3, 6-9 and 9-12 months) are explained in the instructions.
These sweet Baby Mary Jane style booties were one of my first crochet designs. My niece Paula was just born and I wanted to crochet some beautiful shoes for her. The first pair were the white ones with the Red Rose on them.
I have crocheted them using Capri and Bolero yarn, both by Katia; any other Sport (fine 2) or DK (light 3) yarn could be used for this pattern.
The shoes are worked in the round, starting the foundation from the toes up, that way the joints will be at the heel and back of them.

Baby Mary Janes "Red Rose" Crochet Booties
What Is Being Made
The Baby Mary Janes "Red Rose" are sweet Mary Jane style booties designed by Nuria Pastor, created as an original crochet design inspired by a gift for a newborn. These charming baby shoes feature a classic Mary Jane silhouette with decorative rose embellishments. The pattern includes four different sizes suitable for babies up to 12 months old, making them versatile for gifting or personal use throughout a baby's first year.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
These booties are worked in the round, starting from the toes and working upward. This construction method is intentionally chosen so that the joints are hidden at the back of the shoes, creating a neat and finished appearance. The technique of working from toe to heel is a strategic approach that ensures the seams and joins are positioned where they are least visible on the finished garment.
Stitches and Stitch Details
While specific stitch abbreviations are referenced in the pattern (including a 2 flower notation), the detailed stitch breakdown is contained within the full pattern instructions. The design utilizes fundamental crochet stitches appropriate for an intermediate-level crocheter, allowing for a project that offers some challenge while remaining accessible to those with basic crochet experience.
Yarn and Materials
Yarn Requirements: The pattern calls for 60 to 75 metres (66 to 82 yards) of yarn depending on size, using either Capri or Bolero yarn by Katia. Both yarns are sport weight (fine 2) or DK weight (light 3). Any sport or DK weight yarn can be substituted, provided that your gauge matches the pattern specifications. The original design features red and pink colorways.
Tools and Notions: A 2.5 mm crochet hook is used for sport weight yarn, while a 3 mm hook is recommended for DK weight yarn. A tapestry needle is included in the notions for finishing. Checking your gauge before beginning is essential to ensure the booties fit properly across all four size options.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to tackle projects with more structured shaping and construction techniques.
