Round 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc in next 3 ch, hdc in next 2 ch, dc in next 2 ch, 9 dc in last ch.

Now working on other side of the ch,

dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next 2 ch, sc in next 4 ch.\

DO NOT JOIN. Mark first stitch with a stitch marker.

Round 2: 2 hdc in first st, hdc in next 8 st, 5 dc in next st, sc in next 2 st, 5 dc in next st, sc in next 2 st, 5 dc in next st, hdc in next 8 st, 2 hdc in last st. Join to first hdc with a sl st. Finish off leaving a tail for sewing to item.

Toe Pads (make 3)

Starting with a magic circle,

Round 1: Ch 2, 7 hdc into circle. Join to top of ch 2 with a sl st. Finish off leaving a tail for sewing.

Large Pad 

Starting with a magic circle,

Round 1: Ch 2, 2 hdc, 4 dc, 2 hdc, 4 dc into circle. Join to top of ch 2 with a sl st. Finish off leaving a tail for sewing.

Weave in all ends not needed for sewing, sew pads to base following picture. Stretch the large pad when sewing to give it more of an oval shape.

Now attach applique to your chosen item. Personally I think a pair of these would look cute on a hat or even an Easter basket.

I turned mine into a Lucky Rabbit Foot by making 2 base pieces. I then sewed them together (RS together, WS facing out) Leave enough of a gap to turn it the right side out. I then stuffed it and finished sewing them together and attached a key chain. I can't wait to see what you make with yours.
