Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Crocheting the Sole

Chain 13.
Row 1: Yarn over, skip first 3 chains, dc into 4th chain from hook. Dc in each remaining chain (11 dc).
In the very last chain, make 3 dc to round the corner.
Work 11 dc along the underside of the original chains, one in each (first dc goes in same space as the last).
In the last stitch on this side, make 3 dc (to round corner).
Join with slip stitch (sl st) in the third chain of beginning; you now have an oval sole.

2. Building the Sole (2 More Rounds)

Round 2:

Ch 3 (counts as 1 dc), dc in next 10 sts.
In each of the next 3 stitches (the turn), work 3 dc in each (total of 9 dc).
Dc in next 11 sts.
In the next 3 stitches (other end), work 3 dc in each (9 dc again).
Join with a sl st at top of chains.

Round 3:

Ch 3, dc in next 10 sts.
In each of the next 9 turn stitches, work 2 dc (for 18 dc in total around curve).
Dc in next 11 sts.
In the next 9 turn stitches, work 2 dc in each (total 18 dc).
Join with a sl st in top of the beginning ch-3. The full oval sole is complete.

3. Raising the Sides

Transition Round:

Ch 3. Work back post double crochet (BPdc) in each stitch around (to lift the sides).
Join with sl st. (Begin to see the bootie "rise.")

4. Upper Portion – Creating Texture

Work Four Textured Rounds:

Ch 3; front post double crochet (FPdc) in next st, BPdc in next. Alternate FPdc and BPdc around.
Repeat previous round three more times. Always alternate for four total textured rounds.
Join each round with sl st in top of starting ch-3.

5. Dividing for Instep & Tube

Count your stitches (should be 58); divide into two sets of 29.
Mark each half with a contrasting yarn/thread.

Instep Section

Skip first 10 stitches from marker, attach new yarn to 11th (center front), and ch 3.
Work 9 BPdc (back post) across for first row of instep. End by slip stitching into next side stitch inside the shoe.
Turn, ch 3, work 9 dc, attach with sl st to opposite side inside the shoe.
Repeat for two more rows. For the next two rows, increase to 10 sts (start with 2 dc in first stitch).
After every row, attach edge with sl st to side of shoe.

6. Crocheting the Tube (Ankle)

First Tube Round:

Attach yarn to back at the side, ch 3, make V-stitch (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in same stitch.
Skip 4 stitches, V-stitch (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next space. Repeat for three V-stitch clusters.

Continue Tube:

For next 4 rounds: Work V-stitch in each previous V-stitch ch-2 space (no chains between V-stitches).
Always begin round by slip stitching to center of V, ch 3, and start V-stitch.

7. Edging with Picot

Final Round (Picot Edging):

In each V-stitch, work: 2 dc, ch 3, sl st back to first ch (picot), 2 dc.
At the end join with sl st.

8. Finishing & Ribbon

Cut yarn and weave ends securely inside.
Thread 35 cm ribbon through spaces between V-stitches around the ankle, and tie in bow or secure knot at front.
