How to Crochet Baby Sneakers Part 8/13

Okay. So, I've looked up the directions again and I've put two markers now. And in this particular one, it’s worth now changing everything.

So it says, one half double crochet in the next two stitches so let’s chain up— Okay, two, so one, and two. So in the next two stitches we’re going to do half double crochets so wrap it around going in to the stitch pulling up through all three.

And in the next one it’s a half double crochet pulling it through. And now it says to do single in the next six. And I've put my red marker in there to indicate from the center point of the toe where I need to be starting my condensing because what we’re going to be doing is doing a major condense of bringing the shoe inline with the foot. Okay.

So, according to my calculations— is that now we have to put— start at this point four half double crochets. So I'm going to take my marker out so four half double crochets in a row. Wrap in your material going in, okay?

Now according to the directions, what we’re going to do is— now we have to do four times in a row. We have to condense two stitches together so the next two have to be together and they will be six— my apologies, sorry.

Okay, two single stitches together four times so it’s just going into the next hole pulling it through going into the next hole pulling it through and that, we've just now made two stitches in the one. Okay. Let’s go into the next one.

We have to do this four times in a row going into the next stitch going up and now pulling it through. So, you're now at the center point, okay? So again, we have to do that four times in a row so this will be the third time. We’re going in to the next one pulling it through.

And now I want to put my marker back in there in the center point once. We’re going into the next one and the next one. Okay. So I've just now completed my four times in a row so now what we need to do is four half double crochet stitches in a row. Oops, wrap in your material. That was number three and this will be number four.

And now we want to continue with the single stitches going to the back of the heel. And the last two stitches of this line will be half double crochet because that's kind of how we started on this line going around.

And what this does— the stitch I believe is it’s going to give the back of the shoe a lift. Okay. So, looking forward, see how I only got two left? So, wrap in going in pulling it through all three, wrapping in going through three, pulling it through and through.

And that was round five of the directions so now you can really start seeing the front of that shoe— is actually getting good and the back is now starting to lift up too. So, we’re really doing good so far.
