Materials Needed for Baby Van Shoes Crochet Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Create four sole pieces total - two for each shoe - and join them in pairs with slip stitches working through both layers
• Work the white foundation rows around the sole perimeter, then add the black accent stripe row from the inside
• Build the upper section starting from the 12th stitch from center back heel, working front loop only over the black accent row
• Complete size-specific shaping rows with decreases to form the toe area of the shoe
• Add the centered flap piece by rejoining yarn and working in designated stitches with proper alignment
• Attach the black back section working front loop only, incorporating varied stitch heights for shaping
• Finish flap edges with decreases along sides and increases at flap itself, then sew front to back overlapping slightly
• Create decorative ch-5 stripes on both sides of shoe, securing them to the sole with proper spacing

Important Notes

• 💡Always count your stitches after each row to ensure accuracy, especially during sole construction where stitch count changes frequently
• 💡When slip stitching the two sole layers together, keep stitches loose enough to work into for the next round
• 💡Pay careful attention to whether instructions specify working in both loops, front loop only, or back loop only
• 💡The sc2tog at the beginning of a row has special instructions - insert hook in same stitch first, not next stitch
• 💡Mark the center back heel stitch clearly as many steps require counting from this reference point
• 💡Weave in ends after each color change and section completion to keep your work tidy throughout the process
• 💡When working front loop only over the black accent row, use the hook tip to help locate and work into loops
