Part 1: Making the Sole of the Shoes

Row 1

1. Create a slip knot and chain 10.
2. Work a half double crochet (HDC) in the second chain from the hook:
   • Yarn over (Y/O), insert your hook, pull up a loop—three loops on the hook.
   • Yarn over and pull through all three loops to complete the stitch.
3. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
4. Place another HDC in the same stitch (increase in the starting stitch).
5. Make 7 HDC across the next stitches (one per stitch).
6. In the last stitch, make 6 HDC to create a curved effect.
7. Work along the other side of the foundation chain:
   • 7 HDC in the next stitches.
   • 2 HDC in the last stitch (end-side increase).
8. Slip stitch into the first marked stitch to join the row.

4. Place 1 HDC across the next 7 stitches.
5. Add 2 HDC in each of the next 6 stitches to increase curvature.
6. Work 1 HDC across the next 7 stitches.
7. Add 2 HDC in the next 2 stitches.

Row 3 (Final Row for Sizes 0-3 Months)

   • 2 HDC in a stitch, followed by 1 HDC in the next stitch (repeat twice).
4. Place 1 HDC across the next 7 stitches.
5. Add 2 HDC, followed by 1 HDC, across the next 6 stitches (repeat the pattern).
6. Work 1 HDC in the next 7 stitches.
7. Finish by placing 2 HDC, followed by 1 HDC, across the next 4 stitches.
