• ch – chain stitch
• sc – single crochet
• dc – double crochet
• hdc – half double crochet
• sl st – slip stitch
• sp – space

Two dc worked together (dc2tog):
Begin to work dc in next st, but don’t complete it, leaving 2 loops on hook, work another incomplete dc in next st, so that you have 3 loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook. Stitch completed.

Both shoes are made in exactly the same way!

When making the sole, you have to join in first hdc and start next round with next st, not with the one where you joined!

Rnd 5 for size 0-6months: ch1, skip next ch-1 sp, 6dc in next ch-1 sp, skip next ch-1 sp, sc in next ch-1 sp, repeat 3times more, but in last repeat instead of last sc join with sl st in ch-1. Fasten off.
