These will be your crochet foundation holes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Crochet the Base Row into the Sole<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Attach yarn<\/strong> through one of the holes near the heel using a slip knot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Single crochet (SC)<\/strong> into each hole around the entire sole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch to the first SC.
