This is how it should look like :-)

Decorations - slip stitches along the edge and toe.

Separate yarn so you have two strands instead of four.

Push in the hook from the outside-in, where the first strand of the sc lies
 on the outside of the edge, (made from round 2), just after the toe. 
Pick up the yarn from the inside and pull out.

Make slip stitches along the side by putting the hook one st forward,
picking up yarn from the inside and pull through.

Do the same over the toe. Fasten all ends.

Tongue (yellow)
Fasten yarn to the right, toe facing you.

Shoe (yellow)
With toe facing to the right, fasten yarn on the side of the shoe in one of the outside loops, counting 2 stitches from the opening towards the toe.

1. ch 1, sc 1 in the same stitch, sc 1 in next loop, sc in back loops only along the edge of the shoe from one side to the other, ending with 2 sc in the two loops on the outside of the toe, as in the beginning of the round. Turn.
