Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Toe & Foot Base

Foundation: Chain 5.
First Row: Skip the first two chains, in next three chains work 3 half double crochets (hdc).
Turn the work: In the last stitch, work 4 hdc to create the rounded toe.
Work along opposite side: Make 4 hdc in corresponding foundation chains, forming a small oval. (Total: 8 hdc).
Join: Slip stitch to the second chain of starting chain.

2. Increase Round

Chain 2, work 2 hdc in each stitch around (16 hdc).
Slip stitch to join.

3. Work Foot Length

4. Create Heel Opening

Chain 2, work 1 hdc in each of the first 8 stitches (ignore the remaining stitches for this section).
Turn the work.

5. Build Heel Section

Work 5 more rows back and forth over these 8 stitches.
Fasten off, leaving a length for sewing.

6. Assemble Heel

Fold the heel section, use slip stitch or yarn needle to seam the back of the heel, joining the short sides together by working through inside loops only.
