Doll Shoes

Just like any other real girl, apart from her nice clothes, Mila the doll also needs to have matching shoes.

I found many beautiful ideas for crocheted footwear for dolls on the Internet, but the specific shape of Mila’s feet urged me to come up with a unique design of shoes for her. That’s where this short tutorial emerged from.

This tutorial is for shoes/booties for a sewn doll. The pattern is adaptable for larger/smaller doll feet by using thinner/thicker yarn and smaller/bigger hook. To crochet these shoes, you only need the basic level of crochet knowledge. The stitches used are single crochet. The shoes are worked in rounds, spirally, i.e. without slip stitches at the end of each round.

The finishing touch is embroidering around the soles with a blanket stitch. Tied to the front are bows imitating shoe laces.
