The pattern requires some very simple cross stitching but don’t worry if you’re not experienced at sewing! This tutorial guides you through the process with lots of photos that provide a step-by-step guide to doing the entire project from start to finish.
To make the shoes you'll need approx 50grams of lightweight worsted yarn and a E or G crochet hook (3.5mm or 4mm), depending on your gauge and the yarn you choose.
PLEASE NOTE: the choice of yarn is very important. DO NOT USE AN ACRYLIC YARN because you’ll need to press the fringe with a steam iron and Acrylic will melt!
The best yarns for these shoes are cotton and wool mix, or 100% cotton or merino wool. Always check your gauge before you begin if you want to achieve the correct dimensions or size.
For the laces, I used a yard of soft mock suede cord, 3mm (1/8”). If you don’t have this you can always chain the laces in one of the contrast colours.
The cross stitching and motif are done with sportweight or fingering (UK 4ply) - you’ll need 4 or 5 meters of each colour.
