Hice la parte del empeine de forma sencilla, tejí 3 listas para luego trenzarlas. Las fijé al otro extremo con alfileres y las uní al la base con la aguja asegurándome de ocultar muy bien los hilos al final, cosa que hice con todos los hilos que me quedaban sueltos.

Ya si por ultimo le agregue unas florecitas para decorar y listas.

A mi me encantó el resultado, aunque puedo mejorar muchas cosas. Este trabajo me tomó una semana aproximadamente y tanto yo como mi cuñada estamos satisfechas con el resultado que la verdad es una belleza. Espero que les haya gustado tanto como a mi y nos vemos en el próximo post❤️.

Hello hivers friends

It's been a not very long time but yes, I had been inactive for a few days because I was working on a small project which I'm going to tell you about.

As you know I have entered the world of crochet fabrics, which has truly been the best solution as a treatment for my anxiety and I no longer suffer so many crises. From the beginning I loved the crochet technique and I learned the basic stitches very quickly (I'm still learning other stitches and techniques). A while ago my sister-in-law, who has seen me knitting several times and has already seen the result on other occasions, asked me to make some little shoes for a baby. In my country it is a tradition for babies to have at least one knitted garment, be it clothes, shoes or stockings. In this case they would be sandals and I'm going to be very honest, I had no idea how to make them, I had a reference but nothing to do with my possibilities or the resources I had at the time, but I still agreed to do the work.

I was quite motivated by this job, so I first looked for the necessary information to then get down to work.

Materials:

🧶Needle
🧶Worsted
🧶Pins
🧶Polyfoam
🧶Scissors

Process

I started with the pattern for the base of the sandal, I was doing it as the pattern indicates: first 10 chains and go up with varette stitch to shape it. I made 4 of this base in total, taking into account that they will all be the same size.

Then I separated 2 with which I was going to work to lift the base, because these sandals my loves are platform. So I took the yarn and knitted all around the base that I had already made with the pattern, this time I used the half stitch. I did this to lift the fabric enough because in the same part I had some lists with a different tone of yarn, which I made with satin stitch.

Once this part was finished I put the filling that I had made with polyfoam and so my base would be firm. And then I joined the preformed bases with polyfoam and the other two that I had knitted with the pattern.

So far there were no problems. I started to make the top part. I made the heel part directly to the base using half a stitch I went from one side to the other giving it the shape I wanted. At first it didn't work out, but in a few tries it did work for me (then I thought that maybe it would have been easier to have made those pieces separately, but those are notes that I will keep in mind in the future). I did make the straps separately because it was very difficult for me and I think that helped me with the final shape of the sandals.

I made the instep part in a simple way, I wove 3 strips and then braided them. I fixed them to the other end with pins and joined them to the base with the needle, making sure to hide the threads very well at the end, which I did with all the threads that were loose.

Finally, I added some flowers to decorate and that's it.

I loved the result, although I can improve many things. This job took me approximately a week and both I and my sister-in-law are satisfied with the result, which is truly beautiful. I hope you liked it as much as I did and see you in the next post❤️.
