Crochet hook 3.5mm (E) or size

needed to obtain gauge

height 10.5 rows of hdc = 4” (10cm)

Stitches used

Ch = chain stitch St/s = Stitch/es

sc = single crochet

dc = double crochet

hdc = half double crochet

slst = slip stitch

sk = skip

FLO = perform stitch in front loop

only.

BLO = perform stitch in back looponly.

rep............repeat

beg..............beginning

[].................work instructions within

brackets as many times as directed.

(eg [2hdc, hdc] rep 3 times means you

repeat the brackets 2 more times, so

you have performed the bracket

instructions 3 times in total).

2tog….. work the two stitches

together (decrease) as directed.

MC = Main color

CC = Contrast color

Invisible slip stiches

This method gives a professional finish to

your items. Rather than joining with a

typical slip stitch, cut yarn and thread yarn

end through your needle. Insert the needle

under the top two loops of stitch you wish

to join to....

...pull through, then insert needle back into

the original stitch. Sew in ends.

Use normal slst’s to join all rounds unless

instructed to finish with an invisible slst.

For Beginners..

For sc rounds, the first sc is always worked

into the same st as ch1.

For hdc and dc rounds the beg ch2/3 counts

as a st, and the first st of the round should be

worked into the next st (unless told

otherwise).

When instructed to join to ch2, join at the

orange arrow, when instructed to join to the

1st hdc, join to blue arrow.

Size 3-6mos

and slst around the top of the shoe to the

Laces

Using CC2 make one ch6 and one ch7, leaving

long ends on either side to sew on. Sew the

ch7 across the top of the shoe, and the ch6

just below it. Sew in all ends.

Tip

To help keep shoes on wriggly little feet I have

personally found elastic sewn around the heel

to be extremely useful. Sew a 1.25 inch long

piece of elastic (¼ inch width) around the

heel, keeping the elastic gently stretched, and

sew in ends.
