Gauge: 12 half double crochets + 9 rows = 4 inches

Chain 15 (17).
1st Row: Work a half double crochet in the 3rd chain from hook and in each chain across.
2nd Row: Chain 2, turn. Work a half double crochet in each half double crochet across.
Repeat Row 2 until piece measures 3 (4) inches from the beginning. Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
Finishing the crochet baby booties
Thread the yarn tail into a yarn needle and then weave through stitches of last row.
Pull the yarn tightly to create the toe. With the same yarn tail, and beginning at toe, sew edges together for about 2 inches for the top of the foot.
At the back of the bootie, sew edges from top edge to about halfway down for heel. Flatten remaining opening at heel and sew across, forming a T-shaped back seam. Weave in ends. Turn booties right side out.
Edging around the opening of bootie: With the right side facing, join the yarn with a slip stitch at top of heel seam. Chain 2, work single crochet evenly spaced around this edge; join with a slip stitch in first single crochet. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
