Crocheting or knitting baby booties is a classic way of welcoming your new little bundle of joy. For those who appreciate tradition, we've found patterns for vintage-style booties that'll keep those 10 little toes warm. These designs recall baby clothing designs from the 1920s to 1970s, and most can be downloaded on the web for free or a small price! We've even got a couple of free baby bootie patterns on CraftFoxes!

Vintage Style Pom-Pom Booties

Attaching pom-poms to baby booties puts a cherry on top of an already precious pattern. For this project, you'll need size 3 and 6 straight needles and some baby yarn.

Lacy Crochet Booties

This lacy baby shoe pattern is from a March 1927 issue of Needlecraft Magazine and features star stitch and roll stitch. No. 70 crochet cotton is used on these booties and some experience crocheting vintage patterns is recommended. Fancy and dainty, these booties would look especially nice for baby's christening.

Bunny Ear Booties

Many older baby accessory patterns have a fun, kitsch design, like these retro bunny eared booties. They can be crocheted with White baby wool, pompadour yarn, or nylon yarn. According to Kitschy Kitschy Coo, this design was found in a 1956 issue of The Workbasket magazine. The Workbasket originated in the early 1900's and was one of the first by-mail service magazines of its time.

Heirloom Baby Booties

These vintage booties are impressively intricate. Made with size 10 cotton, the decorations are beads and ribbons. It's not surprising that the skill level for crocheting this late 1800s baby fashion is experienced. The pattern comes with eight different styles of bootie.
