 Special Stitches

Decreasing with HDC – The way I make a HDC decrease is slightly different than normal; I only yarn over for the first stitch and work the next stitch like a SC decrease – this creates a less bulky decrease stitch.

HDC2TOG: Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull through the stitch (3 loops on hook), insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull through stitch (4 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 4 loops.

*Work the DC Decreases as you would normally*

Invisible Join: Weave the yarn tail under both loops of the second stitch to the left, then back through the center of the last stitch made. Pull the tail just tight enough so that it looks like the other stitches.

Double Soles – Slip Stitching the Soles Together:

Make 4 soles, two of each color. Place one of each color of sole together with wrong sides facing and Color B on top, making sure to line up the stitches. With two strands of Color A, loosely slip stitch through both layers of stitches from the last round.

Invisible Join for SLIP STITCH: Weave the yarn tail under both loops of the starting slip stitch, and then back through the center of the last slip stitch made. Pull the tail just tight enough so that it looks like the other stitches. This counts as the last stitch of the round.

Round 1 on the Boot Upper:  Locate the center of the heel by laying a hook or needle along the foundation chain of the sole. It should point between two stitches. Starting in the one to the left of the pointer, Attach Color A under both loops by making a slip stitch. Working under both loops of the slip stitches, make the first sc of Round 1 in the next stitch. When you get to the end of the round, make the last sc in the same space as your starting slip stitch.
