For LEFT Shoe: Continuing from Rnd 21, turn the shoe (90°) and working along the side of the stitches, work hdc in the side of the next 2 st. (Ch 1 and turn, work hdc in ea st) 11 more times. Finish off and weave in ends. For RIGH1 Snoe: Finish off after Rnd 21. Insert the hook on the opposite end of Rnd 21, pull up a loop and sl st. Working down the side of the stitches, work hdc in the side of the next 2 st. (Ch 1 and turn, work hdc in ea st) 11 more times. Finish off and weave in ends.
FLOWER
Using H Hook and FLOWER COLOR, ch 4 and join to make a circle. (Sc in the center and ch 3) 7 times, sl st to first sc and finish off. The flower can be sewn on as a decoration. I also added a pink button for the center of the flower.
FINISHING
Loop (Velcro) Closure: I hand sewed small pieces to use as a strap closure Elastic: Sewing a small piece of elastic between the strap and the shoe may also work well as a closure but I have not tried this yet. Anti-Skid Gripper Fabric: This is similar to what is found on baby jammie footies and helps make these slippers less slippery on smooth surfaces.
