Easy Crocheted Baby Booties

(Scroll down for pattern)
So, I have been having fun crocheting these baby booties lately.  I was using this Red Heart pattern.  But, I didn't like how big the toes were.

The original pattern.

On the rows that make the toes, the pattern has half double crochet stitches along the side, then double crochet on the round part.  I thought it might look better if I just used the half double crochet stitch along the whole row.

The revised pattern

I know it's hard to see the difference, but the revised booties are more fitted.  I also extended the top part 2 rows, because I think that's cuter.

Here is the revised pattern;

hdc2tog = Yarn over, insert hook into st and draw up a loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over, insert hook into next st and draw up a loop, yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.

Ch 9.

Round 1: Work 2 dc in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next 5 ch, 6 dc in last ch, turn to work along opposite side of beginning ch, dc in next 5 ch, 3 dc in last ch, slip st in top
of beginning ch to join. - 22 sts

Round 2: Ch 2, hdc in same st as slip st, 2 hdc in each of next 2 dc, hdc in next 5 dc, 2 hdc in each of next 6 dc, hdc in next 5 dc, 2 hdc in each of next 3 dc, slip st in top of
beginning ch to join. - 34 sts

Round 3: Ch 2, hdc through back loop in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 34 sts

Crocheting in the back loop

Round 4: Ch 2, hdc in next 8 sts, [hdc2tog] 8 times, hdc in next 9 sts, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 26 sts

Round 5: Ch 2, hdc in next 8 sts, [hdc2tog] 4 times, hdc in next 9 sts, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 22 sts

Round 6: Ch 2, hdc in next 8 sts, [hdc2tog] 2 times, hdc in next 9 sts, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Round 7: Ch 2, dc in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Round 8: Ch 2, hdc in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Round 9: Ch 1, sc in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Round 10: Ch 2, dc in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Round 11: Ch 2, hdc in each st around, slip st to top of beginning ch to join. - 20 sts

Fasten off.
