Super Simple TV Socks or Booties - Crochet

Good morning,

I've made these so many times and in so many sizes, but haven't written the pattern down until now.  The two booties in the picture are identical, but look a little different because the one on the right is more flattened out than the one to the left.

This is so simple and basic you can use it to make booties for baby or slipper socks for kids and adults with a different top finish, of course.  If you want to make them smaller, you don't have to change the pattern, just use a smaller hook and sport weight yarn.  Of course, you can measure and adjust the pattern to make them much larger, too.

I remember sitting in the living room with the kids and making them to fit their feet as we sat watching a movie.  For older kids and adults I didn't make the ruffle at the top.  This image was taken before the cuff was added.  I made them in double strand yarn to make them more substantial when I made them in larger sizes, worked only two rows of the cuff, then worked reverse sc around the top for a substantial edge without the need for a tie.

These are great for wearing in the house, especially if your home is one where you leave your shoes at the door to protect your floors and carpets.

Enjoy,

Lois
