  2. Skip the first 3 chains (1, 2, 3). Go into the 4th chain and work:
    • 2 double crochets into the same chain space.
    • The skipped chain 3 plus these two double crochets count as 3 double crochets in one space.
  3. In the next 9 chain spaces, work 1 double crochet in each space:
    • Ensure you’re going through both loops of each chain.
  4. In the last chain space, add 6 double crochets to shape the sole curve:
    • Repeat double crochet 6 times in the same stitch.
  5. After shaping the curve, continue working back along the other side:
    • Make 9 double crochets (one in each stitch across).
  6. At the end of the row, add 3 double crochets in the last chain space to finish shaping.
  7. Slip stitch into the 3rd chain to close the round.

  2. Begin at the middle stitch and work:
    • Skip the first stitch and work single crochets across for the next 7 stitches. Add 2 extra stitches on each side for shaping.
    • Repeat for 5 rows, increasing stitches as needed for shaping.
  3. For round 6 to 7, skip two stitches and work 10 single crochets across. Add two extra stitches to each side.

4: Adding Decorative Edges

  • Use contrasting colors for the sole and upper to highlight the sneaker’s design.
  • Tighten your tension for durability, especially when working on straps and slip stitches.
