Do I get anything in the mail?
No. This is a digital method: you get instant access to every pattern, chart, guide and printable the moment you pay. Yarn and hooks aren't included and nothing is shipped, so there's no waiting and no shipping cost.
I've never crocheted a bootie. Can I really do this?
Yes. If you can hold a hook, you can follow along. Module 1 teaches the few stitches every pattern uses, in plain English, and you start with Volume I. Every round tells you how many stitches you should have. Your first pair takes the longest.
Aren't there free patterns online?
There are, and that's the problem. Half of them skip a round, guess the size or stop before the finish, and you've spent an afternoon on a bootie you can't sell. You don't need another free pattern. You need 54 that are complete, and a plan to turn your booties into extra income.
Will the two booties really match?
That's the whole point of the Stitch-Count Sole Chart. Every round ends with your stitch count, so you catch a mistake on the round it happens. The chart also gives you the finished sole length, so you can lay the second sole on the first and check them before you go on.
What can I actually earn?
It depends on your hours. If you keep about $17 a pair, 1 pair a week works out to about $880 a year, and the holidays run higher. Gift sets and custom orders pay more. Results are not guaranteed and depend on your effort, prices and area.
$25 for baby booties? Who pays that?
Grandmas, aunts and friends with a baby shower coming up. Handmade baby booties on Etsy are listed from about $10 to $35, and christening styles run around $22 to $25. Nobody is shopping for cheap shoes here. They're paying for a gift somebody made by hand.
What do I need to start?
A soft baby yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle, stitch markers and scissors. About $25 gets you set up and covers several pairs. The starter list in Module 1 tells you exactly what to buy.
What sizes are covered?
Newborn, 0 to 3 months, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 9 months and 9 to 12 months, with the sole length of each one in inches and centimeters so you can match the pair to the baby.
Are they safe for a baby?
The patterns use soft yarn and sewn-on details, and the Method shows you how to secure every bow, strap and ear. We recommend skipping loose buttons and beads for babies, and every sale should go out with the care card in your kit.
What if nobody buys?
You start with people who already know you: friends, coworkers, church, the moms' group and your local Facebook group. There's always a baby on the way. The kit gives you the exact posts and messages, and you only buy more yarn after you sell.
Where do I sell them?
Friends and word of mouth, Facebook Marketplace, church and holiday craft fairs, baby stores, newborn photographers and Etsy. The Sell-Your-Booties Kit shows you where to start in the first 30 days.
I can't compete with cheap store baby shoes.
You're not trying to. Nobody buys handmade booties because they need shoes. They buy a gift, a keepsake, a first pair in the nursery colors. A store can't make that. You can, and that's what people pay for.
I don't have time.
A simple pair takes about 2 hours once you've made one. It's tiny, it fits in a bag, and many women crochet during a nap or in front of the TV. You decide how many you make.
I've tried side hustles before.
MLMs make you buy stock and recruit your friends. This is the opposite: no stock, no recruiting, and you make something people keep for years.
Can I sell the patterns?
No. You can sell as many booties as you make, but the patterns, charts and printables are for you. Sharing or reselling them isn't allowed.
Is it safe to buy online?
Yes. Checkout is secure, everything arrives in your email the moment you pay, and you're covered for 7 days.
And if it's not for me?
Your purchase is covered for 7 days. Open the Method, make a pair, and if it isn't for you, send us one email and we'll refund you in full.
