1st photo
Passo a passo tenis all star em croche = step by step instructions for converse shoes in crochet

Material:

  • Clea 1000 Cotton thread in white, pink and red (using 2 threads together) [1]
  • Hook 1.75mm [2]
  • Hook 1.25 mm (for the laces)
Stitches used (American / British):
Correntinha (cur) = chain (ch)
Pontus high (pa) = double crochet (dc) / treble
Ponto baixo (bp) = single crochet (sc) / double hook
Pontus baixissimo (PBX) = Slip Stitch (sl st / ss)
Meio ponto high (mp) = half double crochet (hdc) / half treble (htr)

Note: when said to “make 2 dc tog” it means “make them together in the same stitch”

2nd Photo: 
Começar pela sola com fio branco = start from the sole using white thread
1ª carreira: 1st row: 14 ch + 1 ch to turn. Then 7sc , 6hdc. In the last ch make 9hdc and turn. Go back on the other side of the ch, making 6hdc and 6 sc. In the last ch (where you made the first sc) make 4 sc. Fasten with sl st. Do not turn.
2ª carreira: 2nd row: work in circular rows. Ch3, 14 dc, *2dc tog, repeat from * 7 times; make 14 dc, 2dc tog, repeat * 2 times; sl st on ch3
3 First race: 3 rd row: ch3, 14dc, (2dc tog, 1dc) 3 times, (2dc tog) 3 times, (1dc, 2dc tog) 3 times, 14 dc, (2dc) 6 times, sl st on ch3

3rd photo:
4ª carreira: 4th row:
Still using white thread, start making the sides, still circular rows. Ch3 and 1 dc on each stitch. Fasten with sl st.
5 th and 6 th career race: 5 th and 6 th rows: repeat 4 th row. Fasten off
7ª carreira: 7th row: Using red thread make 1sc on each dc. Fasten off with sl st.
8ª carreira: 8th row: Using white thread, make 1sc on each sc. Fasten off with sl st.
Depois da 8ª carreira: After the 8th row: between the 3rd row (sole) and the 4th row (side) make a row of sc on each stitch, to make the sole well defined. Fasten off

4th photo:
(on the top picture):
I do this way for the 9th row, starting from here (arrow pints the red pin)
9ª carreira: 9th row: use pink thread. See the picture to understand better. Fold the work lengthways. Leave 7 gaps between the sc and start 25 dc with pink thread. Since it is also divided on the other side, you’ll have 14 gaps in front (where you’ll make dc in white at a later stage) and 50 for the sides in pink. From now on, turn the work at the end of each row.
(on the picture in the middle):
You’ll do the 14 dc here for the front of the shoe.
10ª carreira: 10th row: work back 50 sc

5th photo:
top picture:
beginning of 11th row.
Second picture: end of 11th row
11ª carreira: 11th row: at the end of 10th row, tunr your work, ch4 skip 2 sc below and make 1dc on each sc (46); ch 4, skip 2 sc below, sc. Turn, making 1sl st in each ch
12 ª carreira: 12 th row: 46 sc
13ª carreira: 13th row: work as 11th row (you’ll have 42 dc)
14 ª carreira : 14 th row: work as 12 th row
15ª carreira: 15th row: work as 11th row (you’ll have 38 dc). ATTENTION: If you’re comparing this translation against the original text, you’ll see that Josi calls for 48 stitches, but if you look at the final picture here you’ll see that the in each row there’s a decrease of 4 stitches in each side, so here you have 38 dc)
16 ª carreira: 16 th row: work as 12 th row
17ª carreira: 17th row: work as 11th row (you’ll have 34 dc). Do not work the sl st. Fasten off. You can make a few more rows if you want.

2 – One side has the turning chain and the other has the beginning and ending threads.
3 – Pass a small thread through the turning chain (pink arrow). Use varnish for crafts to make it stiff, like real laces. Remember to let it dry completely and wash the shoes before the first use!
4 to 6– Laces ready!                     Now just make the other one!
