     This tutorial session is divided into 2 parts. The first parts i am going to show you how to crochet the top design, while in the part 2 we will learn the attachment of the top design to the sole . So please stay clued to my blog you cannot aford to miss it is packed full.
MATERIALS:

2.Twine tread- size 9 (folded into 4 parts to achieve desired thickness).
3.Tread and needle.
bottons.
4. Shoe soles.
5. Measuring tape.

STEP1: i) ch5 and do a slpst at the 1st ch to form a ring.
ii)ch 1 and do 9sc into the ring slpst at the 1st stitch.
ii) ch 4, skip a stitch and sc in the next stitch , ch 3 skip a stitch and sc in  the next stitch repeat this 3 more times and slpst . Then you petal is formed as seen in the diagramme below. Make 3 more petals which makes the total number of petals we are going to use for the slippers 4.

 STEP2: i) now arrange the 4 petals in the form of a slipper shape and attach them with tread and needle.

 ii) while attaching the petals together , after attaching the 1st 2 petals you dont have the cut the tread away all you need do is to run the tread through the back of the petals to your next point of attachment as seen in the picture below.

 ii) Afterward you attach your bottons in the middle of each petals , also do not cut the tread after attaching each bottons run it through the back of each petals until the completion of the attachment.

 STEP 3: i) Attach your tread to the 3rd segment of  petals at the side( counting from the point of attachment from the middle petal). See picture below for  clear understanding . and then ch2 and 4sc across 3rd segment ch 1and then 4sc across the segment repeat this until you get to a lenght of
 3 inches then cut and tie your tread. Repeat same for the other petal at the side.
ii) Afterwards attach your tread to the 3rd segment of the petal at the top(see 2nd picture for clear understanding.) Ch2 and 1sc, ch1 and sc repeat this until you get to a length 2.5 inches cut and tie you tread. Please note always remember to burn you cut tread to prevent it from loosing.
