Practical tips

• The project is worked flat and sewed up at the end. You do not need to knit in circles. You can work with two needles, however, to work the first few rows of the front panel of the boot, you may want to use three needles (see the pattern).

• Leave long ends at the beginning and end of the piece for sewing.

• Sew the seam with RS facing, using mattress stitch.

• The flowers are made with the basic stitches of crochet but you can make them with chains if you do not crochet.

• Use the Sole template for guidance. Alter the size if needed.
