Medium (US 7–8): ch 40
Large (US 9–10): ch 44
X-Large (US 11): ch 48

Round 3–4: Continue oval increases at heel and toe until sole length matches foot.

👉 Cut foam insert to shape, sandwich between 2 soles, whipstitch together.

⬛ Black Stripe

With black yarn, sc 1 full round around the sole edge. This makes the bold band as in the photo.

🔴 Side Walls (red)

Attach red yarn above black stripe.
R1–6: sc around.
👉 On R6, make eyelets: (sc 6, ch 3, skip 3) repeat evenly for 5–6 holes each side. Next round, sc into ch spaces to reinforce.

⚪ Toe Cap (white, worked oval in-the-round)

Round 1: MR, 6 sc.

Round 3: (sc, inc) ×6 (18).
Round 4: (2 sc, inc) ×6 (24).

🤍 Scalloped Trim (white)

Join white yarn at ankle edge.
(sc, 3 dc, sc in same st, skip 1) repeat around. FO.

🍃 Holly Appliqué

Leaf (green, make 2 per shoe):
Ch 8.
Row 1: sc, hdc, dc, picot, dc, hdc, sc, sl st.
Work same along other side of chain. FO.
👉 This creates sharp holly points.

Berries (red, make 3 per shoe):
MR, 6 sc. sc around once. FO. Lightly stuff.

Sew leaves + berries angled outward on outer side near laces.

🥾 Sole Sturdiness Tips

Always crochet two soles per shoe.
Insert plastic canvas or EVA foam between layers.
Whipstitch closed with strong yarn.
For extra durability, add a line of slip stitches around the very bottom edge.

📏 Size Adjustments

Add/subtract foundation chains for sole length.
Each +2 chains = +0.5 cm length.
