Shoe trends may come and go, but some styles transcend the ever-changing cycle. Case in point: the Mary Jane, which has remained a footwear mainstay since the early 20th century. Characterized by one or more instep straps, you likely had a shiny patent leather pair in your toddler days, or perhaps as part of your school uniform. Fast forward to today, and the timeless style is just as popular as ever, reimagined in every which way with plenty of grown-up iterations to choose from. Round 7: Ch 2.

(35) The designers reinventing Mary Janes best right now are drawn to their sense of history and versatility. “The By Far design philosophy is rooted in the reinvention of timeless silhouettes—and the Mary Jane is one of the most iconic designs ever,” By Far co-founder and creative director Denitsa Bumbarova says. “The simplicity of the Mary Jane belies a potential for experimentation and abstraction which is integral to [our] design ethos.” Round 8 (Left shoe) : Work 1 sl st in each of next 12 stitches. Ch 20, sl st in 5th chain from hook, ch 15, then sl st in same stitch. Work 1 sl st in each of next 9 stitches. Ch 2, skip 2 stitches, then sl st in next stitch.
