Level: Advanced beginner, EASY

SIZE: 6-12 months old

Yarn suggested:
Any Worsted / 10 ply (9 wpi) – I am using Nako Luks Minnos. (if you use different weight, please make sure you check your gauge first). Yardage: 382 yards (350 meters)

Unit weight: 100 grams (3.53 ounces)

Gauge: 19.0 sts = 4 inches for 4.00mm size of crochet hook. I am using 3.00mm size of crochet hook for this pattern.

Hook size: 3.00 mm

Scissor to cut yarn

Stitch marker is optional to mark your starting point.

Abbreviations:

Ch– Chain

Dc – Double Crochet

Dc2tog – make dc in next 2 sts together, (Please refer to this link for tutorial of dc2tog)

Hdc – Half double crochet

Sc  – Single crochet

ss – Slip stitch

Sts – stitches

LOOP – hole (lubang)

Note:

1) Every first of Chain 3 is counted as dc stitch.

2) Slip stitch on every first of chain 3.

TIPS: This size is made for 3.50 inci length of sole (0-3 months old). If you need to make a smaller size or a bigger size than this, make a chain until your desired length, and start crocheting in the same manner as the instruction below since most of the increase part is done between each corner of sole. However, for smaller size, you may skip 1 or 2 dc2tog for shaping.
