gauge: 2.5x2.5”=7 stitches x 10 rows

You will need:
-super bulky #6 weight yarn
-a small metal 2.10mm crochet hook (for picking up sts)
-6.5mm circular needles 36” long…DPNs can be used once there is a 38 total stitch count.
-8mm knitting needles (either circular or DPNs) for fold over cuff option
-Tapestry needle
-3 stitch markers
-scissors

Both a knit sole and sueded sole are detailed in this pattern along with the suede sole templates to cut your own. If making the suede sole versiun, you need:
-leather hand hole puncher
-suede and sheep shearling
-Card stock to trace templates
-heavy duty scissors
-Low Odour Contact Cement
-Artificial Sinew (optional)

I sell pre-cut soles in my Etsy Shop!

You will work the sole first, and then pick up stitches with a small crochet hook. Then you will work from the bottom - up, finishing at the ankle cuff and then Binding Off using a stretchy bind off technique. Youtube video links are given for many steps along the way.

For the suede sole option, you will work a row of Single Crochet and Chains in the holes of the suedes, and then use the crochet hook to pick up stitches and slide them onto your circular needles. The pattern continues upward from there and follows the same instructions as the Knit sole version.
