When you see parenthesis () in the pattern they are either referring to the numbers for the larger sizes or will be around notations such as (See Note A) B. When you see Brackets [] in the pattern that means that you work everything in them as a set or together. For example if you see [sc2tog, 2 sc] 3 times, that means to repeat everything in the brackets three times total as a set. C.

Notes:
1. Pattern is written from center back of the heel. You should start each round in the joining stitch which should be in the center back of the heel. If your joining stitch strays to one side or the other, try to adjust accordingly when starting next round. Make sure that you start each round in the center back or the bootie will become lopsided. Do not worry about this rule while making the sole portion of the bootie. It really is only important when you start working on the upper. Do not count the chain stitch as a stitch at the beginning of round. When joining at end of round always join to the top of the chain stitch you began the round with.

2. 3.

Gauge: 5 sc stitches to 1 inch using E 3.5mm hook. 4.5 sc stitches to one inch using F 3.75 hook. Change hook size if necessary Round 4 to obtain gauge. Sl st all the way around sole through back loops only. Join with sl st. 46 (50) Instead of a gauge swatch I think it is total stitches in round. (See picture A) easier to make the sole and see where you stand, if it is too big, than size down your hook, if it is too small size up your hook. : ) and if it is just right Awesome!

Upper Shoe:
Round 5 In this round you will basically be working back over what you just did. You will need to work through both the slip stitches and the back loops that you just worked. (See Pictures B and C). This makes for a thick round and gives body to the bottom of the shoe. As stated, working through both slip stitch and back loops of previous round, Ch 2, 6 hdc, 6 (8) sc, 3 hdc, 16 dc, 3 hdc, 6 (8) sc, 6 hdc, Join with sl st. 46 (50) total stitches in round.

Now sl stitch along the side of foundation ch. Up and back down turning at end of foundation chain. (See Pictures D and E) This gives the ears a little body so that they stand up.. And it makes them cuter. :)

Bunny Face
Find center front. With pink yarn make one stitch over center double crochet post almost at bottom of shoe. Count over to 3rd crochet from center and make one stich with black yarn for each eye. I placed mine right under the top of the first row of double crochets. (I found less and lower was better for the bunny face, but you can do whatever you like.) : ) Thread pink yarn through base of ears and tie a bow on both. (These are great because they cover up the stitching) (See picture G)
