The work is begun with the ankle part.
1. Chain 15; that is, make 15 chain stitches.
2. Skip 1 chain and put 1 single crochet in each of the 14 stitches. Chain 1 to use in turning.
3. Taking the back thread only, make 1 single crochet in each of the 14 single crochets. The two rows just made will form a rib. This kind of rib is called “slipper stitch.” Make 1 chain in turning.
4. Make 2 more ribs like the one just made. Make 1 chain in turning.
5. Make 8 single crochet and 1 chain stitch.
Make 8 single crochet. These two rows of single crochet will form a shorter rib. Make 1 chain stitch.
6. Make 8 more ribs on the 8 stitches.
7. Join the last row of stitches with 8 of the first chain stitches made, using slip stitch.
