I'm going to continue on as if it is a typo and sc instead of DC there.

I did want to point something out. Rnd 9 says "Ch 1, DC 24 (28)". I believe that might be a typo since that would make the slipper crooked... Other than that, great pattern!!! Thanks again!

If it is to the left, try adding a couple of sc before the decreases then make sure to subtract that same number after the decreases. If it points to the right try subtracting a couple of sc before the decrease them add back the same number after the decrease. You will need to do this for each row starting with R8. I hope that helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239512702468129955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-54446558083632848462014-03-11T15:10:40.434-04:002014-03-11T15:10:40.434-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239512702468129955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-36367484041768070072014-03-09T22:49:47.586-04:002014-03-09T22:49:47.586-04:00Hello,

Every time I make this, the boot isn't symmetrical. I read a previous comment and tried that version, but my boot still ends up a bit to one side. I tired crocheting less tightly, but then it didn't help. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Everything is explained clearly, I'm just not achieving the right look with it :(CecysWordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107589974947796064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-77071442931731050402014-02-05T12:37:51.592-05:002014-02-05T12:37:51.592-05:00Sorry that it took me awhile to answer, it has bee...Sorry that it took me awhile to answer, it has been a busy few days for me and the kids. I'm glad you were able to get the toe to work for you, I will look at the pattern again to make sure I don't have a typo. When I do the sole my seam tends to move to the right so I have to compensate for that to center the toe. Maybe you crochet straighter than I do. <br />For the cuff, the front of the cuff has two, for lack for a better term, flaps where the laces go. the beginning ch 4 is the start of the first flap, once you sl st around the ch 6 at the end is the second flap. The next round of hdc is stitched into the both chains.This is also the reason for fastening off and starting again, if you didn't fasten off, the cuff would be in the back.<br />As far as where to start the cuff, since you changed the stitching a little bit look for the center toe stitch in R12, count over three and start there. <br />If you have more questions feel free to email me. Again I'll look at the pattern to make sure there isn't a typo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239512702468129955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-1857910458235391842014-02-03T18:54:42.525-05:002014-02-03T18:54:42.525-05:00Hello,

The shoe isn't symmetrical and the toe ends up on the side. I was able to make it work by changing it to:<br /><br />R8: ch 1, sc 24, sc2tog, hdc,dc2tog x 2, dc3tog, dc2tog x 2, hdc, sc2tog, sc 24, sl st to first sc<br />R9: ch 1, sc 20, sc2tog, dc2tog, dc, dc2tog, dc3og, dc2tog, dc, dc2tog, sc2tog, sc 20, sl st to first sc <br />R10: ch 1, sc 15, sc2tog, dc2tog x 2, dc, dc3tog, dc, dc2tog x 2, sc2tog, sc 15, sl st to first sc<br />R11: ch 1, sc 8, sc2tog, hdc, dc2tog, dc, *dc2tog, dc* repeat x 4, dc2tog, hdc, sc2tog, sc 8, sl st to first sc <br />R12: ch 1, sc 9, sc2tog, dc2tog, dc, dc3tog, dc, dc2tog, sc2tog, sc 10, sl st to first sc, fasten off<br /><br />Also, i can't understand what to do with the cuff. Why do we fasten off only start again? What do we do with the extra ch4 at the beginning? And where do we start?<br /><br />Thanksmeeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690426532606930359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-59059855687238977582014-01-22T11:48:29.750-05:002014-01-22T11:48:29.750-05:00I'm a little confused by the question. First l...I'm a little confused by the question. First let me ask, after the 7hdc in the last chain did you move to the opposite side of the chain and go back up the chain? If you did you should have gotten to the first sc that you stitched. This is the stitch you should slip stitch into. The " - 43 (51)sts" refers to how many stitches you should have in the round. The first number is the number for the smaller size and the number in the () is the number for the larger size.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239512702468129955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-18644447868856046822014-01-22T11:41:38.535-05:002014-01-22T11:41:38.535-05:00For R2, the part between the * is what you repeat ...For R2, the part between the * is what you repeat four times. Once you have done that you will stitch one more hdc before moving on the the sc stitches. 2 hcd means you will put two half double crochets in one stitch. So in this pattern the * portion will be an hdc then two hdc in the next stitch then repeating, one hdc in the next stitch then two hdc in the next stitch. This is increasing the number of stitches around the toe of the shoe. Does this help?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12239512702468129955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-61486181449274499512014-01-21T21:13:40.623-05:002014-01-21T21:13:40.623-05:00Hi Molly, it's Rachael again. QUESTION: On the...Hi Molly, it's Rachael again. QUESTION: On the instructions for R2, where it says "*hdc, 2 hdc* repeat x 4"; does that really just mean "12 hdc"? I don't think it does... does it mean "half-double crochet 2 together decrease"? I am a newbie... I can't find anything on line that says anything about hdc, 2 hdc and I figured it must mean something different than just a bunch of hdc's together. Thanks in advance, I really want to make these booties!Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523062924162258798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-45554440783159822862014-01-21T16:03:37.592-05:002014-01-21T16:03:37.592-05:00Hi Molly. Thanks for this pattern. I am making it ...Hi Molly. Thanks for this pattern. I am making it right now (also just beginning crocheting). I have a question about the pattern...<br /><br />QUESTION: When I get near the end of the pattern to the part where it says, "sl st to first sc - 43 (51) sts" does that mean you go all the way around again?<br /><br />At that point in the pattern I was almost at the bottom where I had started... basically I had gone around once already. But I assumed the pattern meant that you were supposed to slip stitch to get past the beginning knot (the one you don't count that is the first knot on your needle when you begin the chain) and that I was supposed to just do 'single-crochet' stitches all the way around again (because the next instructions were for 'R2' and 43 sts seemed to not quite go all the way around).<br /><br />I am pretty sure I am messing it up somewhere because I'm newRachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523062924162258798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874441801073132429.post-61846424512410027572014-01-10T22:58:00.209-05:002014-01-10T22:58:00.209-05:00Thank you, Megan.
