Gauge and sizing
Crochet Rounds 1–4 of the sole using the hook listed for your chosen size. Then compare the finished sole with the measurement in the size chart.
- If the sole is too short, try a larger hook.
- If the sole is too long, try a smaller hook.
Because this pattern uses different hook sizes to create five finished sizes, checking the sole measurement is especially important for getting the correct fit.
