Pattern Instructions

Round 1

Start by making a slipknot and chain 9. Then, make three double crochet stitches into the third chain from the hook. Continue with five double crochet stitches. Finally, make three double crochet stitches into the same chain where you made the first three stitches. Slip stitch to join and complete round 1.

Round 2

Chain 1 and make two single crochet stitches into the first two stitches. Continue with four single crochet stitches, followed by one half double crochet stitch. Then, make two half double crochet stitches into the next eight stitches. Make one half double crochet stitch in the next stitch, followed by four single crochet stitches. Finally, make two single crochet stitches into each of the last two stitches. Slip stitch to join and complete round 2.

Round 3

Chain 1 and make 34 half double crochet stitches, working into the back loop only of each stitch. Slip stitch to join and complete round 3.

Round 4

Chain 2 and make four double crochet stitches. Then, make six half double crochet stitches. Next, make seven double crochet stitches and decrease them. Make six half double crochet stitches. Finally, make four double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to join and complete round 4.

Round 5

Chain 1 and make four half double crochet stitches. Then, make five single crochet stitches. Next, make two half double crochet decreases, followed by one half double crochet and another half double crochet decrease. Make five single crochet stitches, and then four half double crochet stitches. Slip stitch to join and complete round 5.

Round 6

For the right strap, skip one stitch and slip stitch into the next stitch. Slip stitch 16 stitches, then chain 15. Make a buttonhole by skipping five chains and making 10 single crochet stitches in the back loop of the sixth chain. Slip stitch 16 stitches, then slip stitch into the chain 1 from the beginning of the round. Chain 1, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.

Repeat the same instructions for the left strap, but work in the opposite direction.

Adding Decorations

To add a decorative touch to the Mary Jane shoes, you can attach bows, flowers, or other embellishments to the front of the shoes. Get creative and personalize the shoes to your liking.

Final Steps

Once you have completed both shoes and added any desired decorations, finish off by weaving in any loose ends of yarn. You can also use a plastic shoe holder or polyester filling to stuff the shoes and give them a more defined shape.
