Finishing
Strap (make 2)
Each flower is done with a separate piece of yarn, but starting with the second flower, you will be
joining the flowers together as you go.
For first flower: using one strand of yarn and smaller hook, ch6 and sl to join round. (ch2, dc,
ch2) six times into each chain of loop, sl to join round. Bind off and cut yarn.
For second and all subsequent flowers: work as for first flower, but on fourth petal, sl into first
petal of previous flower in order to join them together.
• even-numbered flowers: on fourth petal, ch1, sl into second ch-2 of previous flower’s first
petal, continue with dc of second flower’s fourth petal.
• odd-numbered flowers: on fourth petal, ch2, dc, sl into first ch-2 of previous flower, ch1, sl,
begin fifth petal.
See diagram below for clarification. Black ovals indicate sl st; arrows indicate where petals join.
Continue in this manner until you have completed 4 [5, 6] flowers.
Sew one end to left side of shoe and the other end to right side of
