9.  ch1, turn your work around, 1dc in the 1st dc, *ch1, 1dc in the next dc* rep to end (14dc)

10. ch5, turn your work around, 1dc in the 1st dc, *ch2, 1dc in the next dc* repeat to end

11. ch1, 1sc into the side, ch1, 1sc into the side, turn your work around, 3dc in the ch sp, *ch2, skip one ch sp and 4dc in the next ch sp* to end ( = 7, 4dc clusters)

12. ch6, turn your work around, 4dc in the 1st ch, sp, *ch3, 4dc in the next ch sp* rep to the end, (this gives you, x6 dc sets) ending with ch3, 1dc in the last stitch, sc into the "circle" (to attach your work)

You are attaching your anklet part to the opposite part of where your toes are. On the fourth ch5, you start attaching onto the 1st picot (you are attaching to the 3 picots)
so ch3, sc into the picot you had made, ch3, (turn) and finish the row, turn and finish the next row and attach the same way onto the next picot, finish the next row, finish the next row, attach again, and then complete your anklet so that both sides are equal.
