Hello friends,
When I saw these rib stitch ladies booties,

I immedeately want to make them. But then they went in back of my mind. Now on demand of subscribers of my You Tube channel Kalopasak, I search them again and make a simple version of those shoes.

Yarn: Vardhamaan Melenium 4 ply, crochet hook 3.5 mm. It takes 65-70 gms yarn.

First take the measurement of your foot. First we make the sole. See fig 2, back side of the ladies shoes.

SOLE: Work sole with two strands (double thread)

If the length of foot is 9” then make chains whose length will be 5.7”-6". Here I made 22chs for 5.7” then added +3 as a first double crochet (dc)

R1: dc 1 in each st from forth, dcs 7 in the last st, dc 1 in each st from other side, dc 6 in last st ( 1ch3 dc is already there) close by sl st in third ch. (20+7+20+7=54 sts) Ch 3 turn, fig 3.

R2: dc 1 in each st, dc 2 in each st out 7 sts at corner, dc 1 in each st on other side, dc 2 in each side (out of 7 sts at corner), close by sl st, (20+14+20+14= 68 sts), ch 2 turn, fig 4.

R3: dc 1 in each st, (dc 2 in next st, dc 1 in next) repeat 7 times, dc 1 in each st on other side, (dc 2 in next st, dc 1 in next) repeat 6 times, dc 1 in last st (of ch3) close by sl st. (82 sts), ch 2 turn, fig 5.

BORDER: Back post double crochet (bpdc) 1 in each st, see fig 6 till end, close by sl st. Fig 7.

Here after we shall work with single thread. So cut one of the threads and hide the end. Now both the corners are same we can make any one as toe and any one as heel. But nearer end from the first st we make as heel and remote as toe. Fold the shoe and place the marker at the centre of toe part. At this st we have to make 3FPdc tog, skipping adjacent BPdc sts.

Rib st Part: R1: (FPdc 1, BPdc 1) repeat till 2 dcs to marker, last should be BPdc, now 3FPdctog skipping 2 in between BPdcs, (BPdc 1 in next, FPdc 1 in next) repeat till end. Fig 8.

After one more row of 3FPdctog it will look as in fig 9.


Repeat this row five more times then BO. After finishing the beautiful Rib stitch shoes are ready as in fig 1.
