Yes! Simply add or subtract stitches in the foundation chain and work more or fewer rounds to adjust the size to fit your baby’s foot.

Are these booties suitable for newborns?

Yes, these booties can be made in newborn sizes by using a smaller crochet hook and adjusting the pattern slightly.

How do I clean the crochet booties?

• Most baby-friendly yarns are

machine-washable. Wash the booties on a gentle cycle and lay them flat to dry.

Customization Ideas for Your Owl Booties

• Use Different Colors: While grey, white, and yellow are classic choices for owls, feel free to experiment with bright or pastel colors for a more playful or gender-neutral design.
• Add Embroidery: Use embroidery thread to add small details like stars or the baby’s initials onto the booties for a personal touch.
• Make Matching Mittens or Hats: Complete the look by crocheting matching owl-themed mittens or a hat to go with the booties.
