REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION! When piece measures approx. 10-11-13 cm, finish after 2 rounds with double crochet, cut the yarn. Insert 1 marker between the 2 middle stitches on round, i.e. after 17-18-20 double crochets. Work piece with toe towards you and count 4 stitches to the left of marker, begin working here from right side with treble crochets. Work until 6 double crochets remain in total on round (i.e. 3 stitches on each side of marker mid on top of foot), turn = 28-30-34 treble crochets. Continue pattern as before – work 1 slip stitch in first treble crochet, then double crochets until 1 treble crochet remains on row, turn. Then work back and forth over the remaining 26-28-32 stitches until piece measures approx. 21-23-26 cm in total – adjust so that next row is a row worked with treble crochets. Work next row as follows: 1 treble crochet in each of the first 11-12-14 double crochets, then work the next 4 treble crochets together 2 by 2 – READ DECREASE TIP, then work 1 treble crochet in each of the last 11-12-14 double crochets.
