Sts uses: single crochet (sc), half double (hdc), double crochet (dc), triple crochet (trc), chain 1, and slip stitch.

Work in rounds unless otherwise specified. This will be the RIGHT side.

Pattern:

1: Wrap yarn around finger twice, place 6 sc in loop and pull tightly, making sure you mark the FIRST sc. ( You can also chain 2 and place 6 sc in the 2nd ch from hk, but your beginning circle of sc will not be as snug as with the previous method.)

2: Place 2 sc in the marked st, 1 sc in ea of the next 2  sts, 2 sc in the next st, and 1 sc in ea of the next 2 sts. Remember to keep moving the marker to the FIRST st you place in the previously marked st. (8 sc)

3: Place 3 sc in the marked stitch, 1 sc in ea of the next 3 st, 3 sc in the next st, and 1 sc in the last 3 st. (12 sc) 

4: 2 sc in the marked st, and 2 sc in ea of the remaining 11 sts. (24 sc) 

5: *2 sc in the marked st, 1 sc in ea of the next 7 sts,  repeating from * once more, then place 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in each of the next 6 sts, and 2 sc in the last st.  (28 sc)

6-20: 1 sc in the marked st and ea of the remaining 27 sts around (28 sc)

Adjust here for larger or smaller boot size. Example: skip 1 round  for a

size 7 or add 2 rounds  for size 10.

21: 1 sc in the marked st and in ea of the next 13 sts, 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the next st, 2 sc in ea of the last 11 sts. The added sts on rounds 21 & 22 form the arch of the boot, for a better fit. (30 sc)

22: 1 sc in the marked st and in ea of the next 13 sts, 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in ea of the next 3 sts, 2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the last 11 sts. (32 sc)

24-26: 1 sc in ea of the 24 sts aross, ch 1 and turn. When you begin Row 24, there will be 8 stitches unworked, from there on,  as that will be the arch area.  (24 sts) Adjust here for smaller or larger size. Example: omit 1 row for size 7 or add one row for

size 10.

27: Sc Dcrs over first 2 sts, 1 sc in the nest 20 sts, dcr over last 2 sts. *To Sc Dcrs, insert hk into st and pull up a loop, place hk in next st, pull up a loop, YO and pull through all 3 lps on the hook. Ch 1 and Turn. (22 sts)

SEAM: Fold the two right sides of the heel together now and going through BOTH pieces slip stitch into ea of the 5 sts of this fold over. Ch 1 and then slip st along the inside, back toward the top of the shoe.

Working around the RIGHT side, place 13 evenly spaced Scs down the left side of the TOP section, Split a Sc between the last end of row st and the 1st skipped stitch across the opening.

Place another 13 Sc evenly along the right hand side, slip st to the 1st Sc made in this round. (32 scs)
