Join with sl st and tie off, leaving a long tail. Construction: Using either tail of your toe strap and a yarn needled, sew the strap in place, going in and out through both loops in the end of the strap and both loops on the side of the sole. You can place the strap up or down to suit yourself, but I placed mine directly in front of where the connector toe piece connects with the sole. To attached the toe piece, put about 8 of yarn on your needle. For the right shoe, find 2 sts to the left of the middle dc in the sole (for the left shoe, find 2 sts to the right). Wrap the yarn over and under to give it a firm hold, going around that stitch with your needle and around the toe piece. Tie firmly on the bottom to secure it in place.
