Special Stitches
Beginning Cluster- bcl: Ch 2, yo hook and insert in stitch indicated. Yo and draw loop through. (3 loops on the hook.)Yo hook and pull through 2 loops on the hook. (2 loops left on the hook.) Yo and insert hook where indicated. Yo again and pull up another loop. (4 loops on the hook.) Yo and pull through 2 loops on the hook. (3 loops left on the hook. Yo and draw through all 3 loops on the hook.
Cluster – cl: Yo hook and insert in st indicated, yo hook Pull loop up (3 loops on the hook) yo and draw through 2 loops on the hook. (2 loops left.) Yo hook and insert in the same space. Pull up a loop. (4 loops on the hook.) Yo and draw through 2 loops on the hook. (3 loops on the hook.) Yo hook and insert in the same space. Pull up a loop. (5 loops on the hook.) Yo and draw through 2 loops on the hook. (4 loops on the hook.) Yo and draw though all 4 loops on the hook.
Green Sandals – Make 2
With green thread and hook, ch 6. Sl st into the first ch to form a ring.
Rnd 1: In the ring make a bcl. Ch 8, (In ring make a cl and ch 8) 5 times. Join the tip of bcl with sl st. (6 clusters made.)
Rnd 2: Ch 1, (in ch-8 loop make 8 sc) 6 times. Join the first sc with sl st.
Rnd 3: Ch 4, (counts as first dc and ch-1) dc in next sc. (Ch 1, dc in next sc) 6 times. (8 dc made counting beginning ch-4 as dc.) Ch 5, skip 4 sc, sc in next, sc. Ch 5, skip 3 sc, dc in next sc. (Ch 1, dc in next sc) 7 times. Ch 5, skip 4 sc in next, sc. Ch 5, skip 3 sc, dc in next sc. (Ch 1, dc in next sc) 7 times. Ch 5, skip 4 sc in next, sc. Ch 5, join to 3rd ch of beginning ch-3 with a sl st.
Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in joining. ** (Ch 2, sc in the top of next dc) 7 times. Ch 5, in next sc make (sc, ch 3, sc.) Ch 5, sc in the top of the next dc. * Repeat from ** to * twice more. End with sl st into beginning sc.
Rnd 5: Sl st into first ch-2 space. Ch 1, sc in the same space.** (Ch 2, sc in next ch-2 space.) 6 times. Ch 4, in the next ch-3 loop, make (dc, ch 2, dc.) Ch 4, sc in next ch-2 space. * Repeat from ** to * around. End with sl st into first sc.
Rnd 6: Sl st into first ch-2 space. Ch 1, sc in the same space. ** (Ch 2, sc in next space) 5 times. Ch 4, in next ch-4 loop make (cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, cl.) Skip middle ch-3 space. In the next ch-4 loop make (cl, ch 3, cl, ch 3, cl.) Ch 4, sc in next ch-2 loop. * repeat from ** to * around. Join the beginning sc with sl st.
Rnd 7: Sl st into first ch-2 space. Ch 1, sc in the same space. ** (Ch 2, sc in next space) 4 times. (Ch 3, sc in next loop) 7 times. * Repeat from ** to * around. Join last ch-3 to first sc with sl st.
Rnd 8: Sl st into first ch-2 loop, ch 1, **(make 2 sc in the next loop) 4 times. (Make 3 sc in the next loop) twice. In the next loop make 2 sc. Ch 2, in the next loop make (cl, ch 2, cl.) Ch 2, in the next loop make 2 sc. (Make 3 sc in the next loop) twice. Join the first sc with sl st. End off and weave in the end.
Toe piece
Attach thread in any ch-2 loop between clusters. Ch 18, skip 1 ch-2 space, sl st in next space. Sl st in next sc on toe-piece. Ch 1, turn. Make 25 sc in the ring. Sl st in next sc on toe-piece. End off and weave in the end.
Ties
Attach thread in Bottom outside corner in the ch-2 space with a sl st.
Ch 180, make 12 dc in 3rd ch from hook. Join the top of the first dc with sl st. End off and weave in the end. Repeat on the opposite side.
