              \n\n\n\n

              Step 1: Crochet the Sole<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

              The sole is the foundation of your baby shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Round 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. CH 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. 2 HDC in 2nd chain from hook<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. HDC in next 7 chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. 5 HDC in last chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              5. Working along the opposite side:<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              6. HDC in next 7 chains<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              7. 3 HDC in last chain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              8. SL ST to join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                You now have a rounded oval shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n\n\n\n

                Round 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. CH 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                2. 2 HDC in first stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                3. 2 HDC in next stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                4. HDC in next 7 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                5. 2 HDC in next 5 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                6. HDC in next 7 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                7. 2 HDC in last 3 stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                8. SL ST to join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Your sole should now lay flat and oval-shaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n\n\n\n

                  Round 3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. CH 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  2. HDC around entire sole<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  3. SL ST to join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Now your base is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n\n\n\n

                    Step 2: Build the Sides<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                    Now we start shaping the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Round 4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. CH 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    2. SC in BACK LOOP ONLY around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    3. SL ST to join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      This creates a nice ridge and helps the shoe turn upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n\n\n\n

                      Round 5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                        \n
                      1. CH 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      2. SC in each stitch around<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      3. SL ST to join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                        You should now see the sides forming like a little bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n\n\n\n

                        Step 3: Shape the Toe<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                        This is where the shoe begins to look real!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        1. Count 10 stitches from center front.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        2. Place markers if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        3. SC until you reach first marker.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        4. Now decrease across the toe:\n
                            \n
                          • SC2TOG (single crochet 2 together) across 10 stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Continue SC to end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • SL ST to join.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                            Repeat one more decrease round if you want a tighter toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Your baby shoe should now look like a tiny slipper!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            \n\n\n\n

                            Step 4: Add the Strap (Optional but Cute!)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

                            Straps make baby shoes secure and adorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                            Simple Strap:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                              \n
                            1. Attach yarn at side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. CH 15 (or enough to go across top)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            3. SL ST to opposite side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            4. Fasten off.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                              You can sew a small button on one side for decoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
