Notes

To begin, choose the foot circumference and foot length closest to your own.

Toe is worked first, in continuous rounds (in a spiral).

Sole is worked in rows perpendicular to the work, around half of Toe. Each 2-row repeat joins the Sole to a stitch on the Toe.

Stitches are added to crochet Top of Foot and Front of Leg at the same time, over the remaining stitches around Toe, joining in the same manner.

Lastly, we crochet in rows over Front of Leg stitches to complete Back of Leg.

Foot and Leg are then seamed.

Afterthought heel is completed in continuous rounds (in a spiral).

Special stitches

Hdc-FFLO (hdc in front front loop): Yo, insert hook in loop below the front loop, yo, pull up a
loop, yo, pull through 3 loops.

Mattress stitch (used for seaming): *Insert yarn needle from right side to wrong side of stitch
on the first piece, insert yarn needle from right side to wrong side of the same stitch on the
second piece, pull yarn through, repeat from * across pieces to be seamed.
