ATTATCHING
With lace humps pointing down, join thread with sc to any st. Working around shoe strap AND lace..sc in each space on lace around…it will average 2 sc in each sc on shoe…This is because the thread is smaller than the yarn, you can’t match every stitch…
With “7” steel hook, sc in each st around. JOIN. Fasten off…
