Shoe Finishing/Edging

We are only going to put a finishing trim on the heel side of the shoe. Attach your red yarn to the top corner of the heel side, ch 1, sc evenly down the side of the shoe. When you reach the corner at the heel, sc in the top ch (the 2nd[only] ch of the ch-2[1] at the start of Row 5), sc in the first st of Row 5, slst to second st of Row 5, fasten off and weave in loose ends.

**Shoe 1 is now complete. Follow the below directions to begin Shoe 2.

Shoe 2

***You need to decide which side of the scarf to attach the white fuzzy yarn for the cuff of Shoe 2. The toe of the shoe will point to whichever side you attach it. If you want the “tip-toe” effect as shown in the main picture where both shoes point in the same direction, you would attach it to the same side as you fastened off in Row 46[36]. If you made your scarf longer or shorter than 46[36] rows, it depends on if you have an even number or an odd number of rows. If you have an even number, you would attach it to the same side as you fastened off in your last row, but if you have an odd number of rows, it would be on the opposite side as you fastened off in your last row.

Cuff of Shoe

* Attach the bulky white fuzzy yarn to the side of the last row of your scarf where you want the toe of your shoe to point (if you have been following the exact pattern for the scarf shown in the main picture, it will be attached to the last stitch of Row 46[36]. The toe of the shoe will end up pointing to the same side as you attach your yarn to the scarf. After attaching your yarn, follow the same directions/pattern as you did for Shoe 1 starting at Row 1.
