Bind off loosely
With #6 needle and white yarn pick up 40 sts a round or two below from your just bound off sts.
This gives the appearance of a separate shoe and sock. You can use dpn’s or if you have luck with the magic loop try that, this way you have no seam to stitch up.
Knit 5 ½ inches in rib patter (multiples of 4) K2 P2. I sometime pick up more than 40 stitches as long as it is in multiples of 4.
Drop white, pick up royal blue

If you want to have fun with this tongue you could M1 and then not knit it from the back which would give you a shoelace hole! I kinda knit my own tongue for the heck of it.
Decrease rows:
Row 1: K2 TOG, K8, K2tog
Row 2: K

Bind off
Attach tongue to instep of shoe.
Make a shoe lace of yarn (or buy shoe laces) and weave through tongue.
Weave sole, back of shoe & sock together.
If making baby shoes you will want to someone sew the laces down so that the baby cannot remove them and choke on them….
