Heel (make 2)

Ch 5, then start crocheting in the 2nd ch from the hook.

1. 3 sc, 3 sc in the next st, (continue on the other side of the chain) 3 sc, turn
2. ch 1, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, turn
3. ch 1, 4 sc, inc, (1 sc, inc) x 2, 3 sc, turn
4. ch 1, 4 sc, inc, (2 sc, inc) x 2, 4 sc

Without turning your work, ch 1 and work 7 sc to create a neat inner edge on the heel.

Toe

1. 4 sc in MR, turn
2. ch 1, 4 inc, turn
3. ch 2, 1 dc, 6 dc inc, 1 dc, turn
4. ch 2, 1 dc, (dc inc, 1 dc) x 6, 1 dc, turn
5. ch 2, (2 dc, dc inc) x 6, 2 dc, turn
6. ch 1, 9 sc, dec, 4 sc, dec, 9 sc; without turning your work, ch 1, work 16 sc, and finish the edge with crab stitch.

Sew the toe to the insole. Find the center stitch at the toe end of the insole (for me, it is the stitch next to the “center” increase), count 13 stitches from it, and begin sewing the toe to the insole at that point, between Rounds 4 and 5 of the insole.

Heel counter

Count 6 stitches from the beginning of the toe. Working between Rounds 4 and 5 of the insole, make a chain-like row of 14 sl st (shown in white in the photo). Cut the yarn and weave the tail into the wrong side of the insole. Join the yarn in the first stitch of the row you just made and continue as follows:

1-5. ch 1, 14 sc, turn
6. ch 1, 3 sc, 8 dc, 3 sc, turn
7. 3 sc, (dec, 1 sc) x 2, dec, 3 sc

Strap

Ch 25, then start crocheting in the 3rd ch from the hook:

1. 3 dc, ch 1, skip 1 st, 19 dc

Assembly

• Sew the heel to the sole.
• Sew the sole and insole together using your preferred method, placing a cardboard or plastic insert between them. Instead of crocheting the outer sole, you can cut it from non-slip shoe-sole material and glue it in place.
• Sew on the strap, buttons, and decorations.
