Abbreviations
Ch(s) = Chain(s)
Hdc = Half Double Crochet
Slst = Slip Stitch
St(s) = Stitch(s)
Special Stitches
Dc2tog = (Yo, insert hook into next st, yo & draw up a loop, yo & draw through 2 loops on hook) 2 times,
yo & draw through last 3 loops on hook.
Hdc2tog = (Yo, insert hook into next st, yo & draw up a loop) 2 times, yo & draw through all 5 loops on
hook.
PATTERN NOTES
- Size can easily be altered by using different yarns, or a different size hook.
- Slip stitching too tightly can limit how much the opening will stretch for babys foot, so a loose slip stitch
is suggested for round 7.
