Question
I cannot understand how to join the center back seam for this baby bootie pattern. Here we go: Sew center back seam. With RS of work facing, join A with sl st at center back. Ch 1. 1 sc in each of next 7 sts. Work 5 sc down end of instep. 3 sc in corner sc. Work 5 sc along other side of instep. 1 sc in each of next 7 sts. Join with sl st to first st. 33 sts.
Thank you.
Hi Linda!
Thanks for asking. To join two pieces with a slip stitch, you first begin with a loop on the hook, (with a separate strand of yarn) like you are going to make a chain. Then you insert the hook into the stitch indicated (in this case the center back). Yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch and the loop on the hook. Then at the end to join, you insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull the yarn through the stitch and the loop on the hook.
I hope this is what you wanted! Let me know if you need anything else!

Expertise
I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
