Basic knowledge is needed for this pattern. A dedicated beginner should be able to complete this pattern. I have included a list of common abbreviations used in this pattern below. This pattern is written in US terms. Gauge is critical. You may need to go up or down a hook size depending on your tension. Use appropriate hook size to get the correct measurement. This pattern has been tested! In order for this pattern to work it needs to be followed in the order that is written. I suggest making both soles first and then working the rest in order.

Fnding the Center St...
Looking at the heel, find the center stitch. It should be where you fastened off.
1) A trick that I use to finding the center stitch is to fold the sole in half length wise. @Tadpoles and Lily pad Crochet Baby Flip Flop
