HOW TO CROCHET BABY BOOTIES (x2) (use 3 mm hook)

FC: chain (42/46/50) stitches to the needed size, chain +1 and turn. (picture 1)
Row 1: skip the first st and make sl st (42/46/50) all the way to the end of the row. Ch1 and turn. (picture 2)

*for all sizes put marker on 25 st counting from the beginning.
Row 4: sl st blo (14/18/22), make a decrease: pull a loop from the st before the marker (picture 5), insert a hook in the st where the marker was placed, and insert a hook in the next st as well. (picture 6) Yarn over and pull through 2 loops (there should be 3 more loops on the hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops. (picture 7) Insert a marker (where you just made a decrease, there should be visible 3 joined stitches). Finish slst blo until the end of the row. Ch 1, turn (picture 8)

HOW TO CONNECT BOOTIES

• Fold the project in half and join each stitch with sl st back loops only. (picture 19, 20)
• To close the finger part use a darning needle. Go in between the loops all around the open end and pull it tight to close, make some knots, and weave the yarn ends. (picture 21)

HOW TO CROCHET BUNNY EARS (x2) (use 2mm hook)

FC: 10 ch.
Row 1 (around fc): skip first ch, 8sc, place 3sc in the last st, and continue placing 1sc in each st above the 8 sc just made. Ch1, turn. (picture 22)
Row 2:  5sc, 2 hdc, 2sc, in the same stitch (1sc, ch1, 1sc), 2sc, 2hdc, 5sc. Ch1. (picture 23)

HOW TO ATTACH THE EARS

• Sew both ears at the bottom (connect just 2 first stitches) together; (picture 24)
• Place the connected ears on the edge of the booty cuff and sew it together. You can also attach the upper ear part. (picture 25)

HOW TO CROCHET THE BOW (x2) (use 3 mm hook)

Main part (x2):
FC: 21ch
Row: skip first st, 2sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc, 2slst, 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc, do 3sc in the last st. (picture 26)
Continue the same stitches around the fc: 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 1sc, 2slst, 1sc, 2hdc, 2dc, 2hdc, 2sc. Slst in the first sc, ch1. Leave long tail of yarn. (we will use the tail to form and secure the bow later) (picture 27)

Straps (x2):
FC: 13ch
Row: 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, 2slst, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, do 2 sc in the last st. Continue the same stitches around the fc: 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, 2slst, 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 1hdc, 1sc, slst in the first sc, ch1. (picture 27)

HOW TO CONNECT THE BOW

• Take the main part of the bow, insert a needle in the left tail, and put a needle in the middle (between 2slst). One side should be folded in half and create half of the bow. Secure it. (picture 29)
• Go through the other end stitch and in the middle again, to make a full bow. (picture 30, 31)
• Put a strap piece behind the bow you just formed. (picture 32)
• Go tightly around both pieces with the yarn tail about 6 times to make the middle part.
• Attach the finished bow to the booty. I placed it in front of the ears connection to cover the bulky base of it. Also, attach bow straps to the top of the foot. for better shaping.
