Materials
3.5mm crochet hook

Special instructions
In this pattern, so that there is no solid join at the back of
the shoe the join is created using, what I like to call a
moving join. To create this join, finish the row normally,
but after initial beginning of row ch DO NOT work first stitch into the same stitch as join. This
will create a moving join after a few rounds.
