Gather all the pieces and pound them until you make them one piece. Then Use bulls’ skin to all the pieces together, so it will be tight. Cut the product as a sole of a shoe. After finishing the sole, move to knit the surrounding of the shoe. The surrounding is consisting of five layers. Knit the first layer with black thread, which is made of goats’ hair. Then knit the other four layers with white thread, which is made of cotton, and hide the first layer with white thread. As you finished the surrounding, you should be ready for the outer cover of the shoe. Knitting the outer cover is the last step.
