Just finished crocheting these a couple days ago. Very nice. Made them without the holly as they are not for holidays. Instead I made twisted small bows. And added a linner to the sole by making it 2 stitches smaller and 1/2 inch shorter. Then put it inside sole before crocheting together. Also a 1" foam may be used for additional padding inside soles. Lots of ways to be creative with this pattern. Love it.
