After working on this pattern I found a few videos and more pins so here you go. Check out this video or this video or this Pinterest link
Now depending on the usage you need to work an attachment for the back (heel section) of the foot.
1) IF YOU'RE MAKING A PAIR OF FEET FOR BABY SHOWER :
Re-attach your yarn at the centre of the heel on the left side foot and work a chain of 15 sts ; sl-st into the centre of the heel of the right side foot.
Fasten off and weave in ends.
The two are now attached and you can add a small bow to the base of the foot to keep them together
2) IF YOU'RE MAKING THIS INTO A KEYCHAIN :
Re-attach your yarn at the centre of the heel and work a chain of 4 - 5 sts ; slip the keychain ring into this small loop and then sl-st back into the same stitch you started from (centre of the heel). Fasten off and weave in ends.
You could also add a small metal ring instead of working a crochet chain and slip the keychain ring into it.
3) IF YOU'RE MAKING THIS INTO A BAG IDENTIFIER / LUGGAGE TAG :
Re-attach your yarn at the centre of the heel and work a chain of 25 sts and then sl-st back into the same stitch you started from (centre of the heel). Fasten off and weave in ends.
I'm sure you have had as much fun as I have in designing this and getting loads of inspiration for usage too.
