Knitted shoes Materials -

4 laps of double zephyr, 1 of single of same color, 4 knots of darker shade
1.5 yards of satin ribbon
3/4 yard of silk elastic-cord
lamb's wool soles No.5 for medium size shoes.
Small bone needles.

Cast on fifteen stitches with double zephyr; knit one row plain, then widen at beginnign and end of needle; do this every 3rd row till you have 17 purls. Then knit 3 purls without widening.

Widen by taking up th loop between two stitches, and knit it like a stitch of this knitted shoes pattern.

When you have 20 purls, bind off all but 10 stitches and knit with those 62 purls; join to the other side of the front part of shoes to correspond to the side where you started the 10 stitches.

With single zephyr cast on 10 stitches, knit 90 purls, and join together. With darker shade crotchet 1 double and 3 chain putting the stitch between every 2 purls. With light shade put 1 double into chain of last row, and make 3 chains between.

Sew this strip to the ankle of shoe, so that it will turn over on the right side. Take a piece of elastic the right length for ankle; turn the single zephyr strip over it, and sew closely down on the shoe.

Sew the shoe to the soles, and finish with a bow on the top.
