SOLE:
Join colour "B" to the 14th st with a sl st leaving at least a 14 inch tail for sewing later. Row 6: ch 1, dc in same space and the next 4 sts, turn [5] Row 7- 14: repeat row 6 [5] NOTE: Depending on how loose or tight you crochet, you may need to add or deduct rows from the sole. Just make sure the sole is the same length as either side of the sedge stitch piece. Cut colour "B" and weave in ends, except the tail we left for sewing, keeping in mind we will be turning the booty inside out after sewing.
Finishing Tutorial:
This is what you should have so far.
Step 1: Fold the right side of the sedge stitch piece over the sole and sew up the side to right before the corner.
Now, fold the left side of the sedge stitch piece over the right side and sew across the toe (sewing through all 3 layers) and down the left side making sure to tuck the right side in and away (only sewing the leftside to thesole).
Fasten off and weave in ends. Turn booty inside out and shape. Finish the left booty the same way, starting with the left side and ending with the right side.
