Shoe spats

Found over on  Mrs Greens Info Be sure to check out all the great tutorials on this site.

We have made these but out of old jeans with the zipper in the front.This is a crocheted version and very cute.

The example shown was crocheted using sport weight yarn and a size F hook. Finished size will vary based on yarn selection, hook size, and tension. This pattern is written for making the right spat. To change the pattern for the left foot, work R10 in back loops only instead of front.

R2: Starting in 3rd ch from hook, dc 55, ch 2, turn.

R3: Dc 55, ch 2, turn.

R4: Dc 3; ch 2, sk next 2 st; dc 50, ch 2, turn.
