Simple Ladies Shoes:

Fig 1

Hallo friends,
This is winter season in India and it's time to wear woolen sweaters, caps and shoes. So I made these most simple ladies booties.

Fig 2

My daughter in law order these plastic mannequins for me, when I was in USA and she knew that I have to Ladies Booties video in my Youtube channel Kalopasak. But at that time I could not make it. So I made it now.

Pattern: Take the measurements, first length of the foot and wrapped length of the front side of the foot (see video). If the length of the foot is 9" then start with chains whose length is equal to 8.5".
So with my little bit bulky yarn and 5mm crochet hook, I have to make 30 sts for 8.5" length.

Fig 4

 R1: Ch 1 turn, single crochet (sc) 1 in each stitch from second. (30 sts). See fig 3.
R2: same as R1.
Repeat this row till the length equals to the wrapped length of foot. See fig 4. Wrap it round the toe portion of the foot as in fig 5. If it is properly wrapped then bind off.

Now sewing part is very important.

Thread the tapestry needle and pass it through the toe side of that rectangle. Fig 6. Tie the knot tightly. Then pass the thread to close the hole if any.

Now sew the portion as shown in fig 7.

 Then also sew the back side as in fig 8.

Lastly fold the corner where my right hand is there in fig 8,  and sew all the three sides of that triangle formed as shown in fig 9.

 Turn to see the right side. Then make a border of half double crochet (hdc) in each st round the wearing portion so that it will get support. See fig 10. Now while making hdc border; on the back side of shoe, work 2hdctog so that it will get proper shape. See fig 11.

Then make one more shoe. Fig 1.
This is the most simple pattern of the shoe made from a rectangle and still it is very good in fitting.

I wear it and it surprisingly fits very well. Fig 2.

Though it is very old pattern, I enjoyed it's making and hope that you like my creation.
