Pattern info

You can check out my collected pattern info below if you need more guidance when working with one of my patterns.

Pattern info specifically to this pattern:

Both shoes are made the same.

Some rounds have the number of stitches made each round written twice, this happens when a round is finished with a false stitch and your stitch count increase with one.

To see how a false stitch is made click here.

This pattern contains a number of images to help guide you. Some pictures have a crochet hook or a needle pointing on a specific stitch to show where to begin or end a round.

If you need any clarification on the terms I use you can see them below.
