Before I start; I must let you all down. I failed to take my photos whilst making these soles. As I wasn't on my top form, and couldn't be bothered to sit there for hours trying to get 1 usable photo of a stitch. That's the problem with running a blog and being tight on funds; I still haven't managed to purchase for myself, a digital camera. So I have to take all of my photos with my phone and my partners phone. Both of which are rather dated (my iphone 3g, don't ask how its still alive; I'm still trying to work that one out myself! and my partners phone the original htc desire.) No I'm not asking anyone to buy me a camera! I'm hoping to do so myself after Christmas in the sales. :)
Let's start shall we?
As will all my patterns
2DC = 2 DC in the same stitch
DC 2 = DC in the next 2 stitches
2DC 2 = 2DC inthe same stitch and the next stitch
BLO = back loop only
2HTRTOG = 2 half treble crochet together

All rounds should be joined with a s/s into the ch1 of each round. (I have chosen to do this, as I don't wan't a raised seam, on which the babies foot would sit on top of.)

sew the small leaves to the shoe and use dark green dk to sew a centre line down the back leaf and 1 round below the edge of the opening of the shoe. I think it adds a nice touch.
However, this is your project so feel free to alter and add or take bits away.
I love adjusting fellow crocheters patterns to add my ow twist. XD
Pink flower
Now here's were a little Irish crochet come in.Before you start fretting it's really not as hard as it seems.
I decided to make the flower with Irish crochet and thread because no matter what I tried with the dk pink wool, the flower just wasn't elegant enough.
So switch to your crochet thread no 8 and 1.25mm hook.
Good lighting and eyesight required! My glasses are a must when it comes to working miniature.
Ch 5 and join with a s/s
1) ch 3, then into the ring (DC, Ch 2) 4 times, s/s into the 2nd ch of the beginning Ch 3
2)Into each ch space (DC, HTR, 3 TR,HTR, DC) , now flip the flower over, so that your working on the wrong side, and s/s into the back post of the 2nd TR
3) ch 3 s/s into the 2nd TR of the next petal. Repeat all the way round, joining the last ch 3 to the same 2nd TR you s/s into on round 2. Flip your flower back over so that you're working on the right side again,
4) into each ch 3 space, (DC, HTR, 2TR, 3DTR, 2TR,HTR,DC) Ch 2, turn work (working on w/s again) s/s into the 2nd DTR
5) Ch 4 s/s into 2nd DTR, reapeat all the way round (same as round 3)
6) Into each Ch space (DC, HTR, 2TR, 5DTR, 2TR,HTR,DC) F/0
Sew the flower on top of the shoe and your done.
