Sole (Make 2)

We will start by creating an oval shape for the sole of the bootie.

Now you will work down the opposite side of the starting chain.

Round 2: Ch 1 (does not count as a st). 2 hdc in the same st as join. 2 hdc in the next st. hdc in the next 6 sts. 2 hdc in the next 5 sts. hdc in the next 6 sts. 2 hdc in the last 2 sts. Join with a sl st to the top of the first hdc. (30 hdc)

Round 3: Ch 1 (does not count as a st). hdc in the same st as join. 2 hdc in the next st. (hdc in the next st, 2 hdc in the next st) once more. hdc in the next 6 sts. (hdc in the next st, 2 hdc in the next st) 5 times. hdc in the next 6 sts. (hdc in the next st, 2 hdc in the next st) twice. Join with a sl st to the top of the first hdc. (40 hdc)
