Stitch Explanation: 1.Hdc2tog : [Yarn over, insert hook into next

(Bigger sizes are given in the brackets)



Sole:

1. Work around foundation chain without

2. Finished sole with wider toe side

Sole Pattern:

Tips for sole:

1.Count your stitches after every round. At

end of each round when pattern says sl st into

beginning ch 1, you sl stitch into the next st

visible and when it says sl st to 1st sc of the

round you skip ch 1 (next st visible ) and then

slip st to the next st, the 1st sc.

2. Some rounds involve a mix of sc and hdc

to make the toe side wider. It would be a

good idea to use the cursor and mark on the

pattern here to know where you are. You

might get confused with all the counting.

For sizes 0-3 (3-6 )months work sole as

follows (for 3-6 months in brackets) :

With color A and hook H chain 10 (12).

Chain tightly to maintain gauge and keep

your sole stiff.

Round 1: 1 sc into 2nd chain from hook,1 sc in each remaining chain across to last
