Crochet Newborn Baby Cowboy Booties

Baby Cowboy Booties

These cute Cowboy Booties are the rage and nearly novelty but very appropriate for many where wearing cowboy boots is an everyday experience.

This pattern, originally from 2009 has received several updates to simplify the pattern in some areas and I have photographed my way through revising the pattern.

Using Caron Simply Soft, 4 mm or size G hook will give you just over the newborn size. Increase hook to 4.5 mm US 7 and it will give up to 3 months size.

Boot sizing is for a newborn. Sizes for 3.5″ length of foot.
