Orange and Blue Crochet Slippers

Make the Orange and Blue Crochet Slippers to keep your feet nice and warm in the colder months. With detailed instructions, you'll be able to create these colorful slippers, perfect for lounging around the house in.

Materials:

• "H" hook. You may choose to use a different size to make a tighter stitch if desired. (This pattern is for a size 9 women's shoe) See note * at bottom on adjusting.
• Click here to measure your shoe size.

Instructions:

Special Note: Beginning Ch 2 made in magic circle counts as a 1 hdc.

Row 1: Make a magic circle. Ch 2, 5 hdc in magic circle. Draw magic circle tight. Slip st in 2nd st of beg chain. (6 hdc)
Row 2: Ch 2. Work 2 hdc in each hdc around. Join with slip stitch to join in beg hdc. (12 hdc)
Row 3: Ch 2. Work 2 hdc in each hdc around. Join with sl stitch to join in beg hdc. (24 hdc)
Rows 4 -11: Ch 2. Work 1 hdc in each hdc around. Join each row with a slip st in beg hdc. (24 hdc each round)
Row 12: Ch 2. Work 1 hdc in each hdc around. DO NOT JOIN. Ch 2 and turn.
Row 13 - 21: Ch 2. Work 1 hdc in each hdc around. Do not fasten off.

Fold ends of the row together to form closing heel. I used a slip stitch to close the seam or you can sew it closed. (If you choose to sew it closed, fasten off Row 21 leaving a long enough tail of yarn to sew with.)

Attach with slip stitch either at the heel or at the center front and sc in each st around for a finished edge. Join with sl st and fasten off.

Make pompom to match or contrast and tie at center front.

Weave in loose ends.

* Adjust number of rows as needed to get the needed shoe size. I made the slipper 1/2 -1 inch smaller than the shoe size in inches because these stretch. Adjust by even number of rows to be able to close the heel from the outside of the slipper.

** NOTE: These will be very slippery when worn on bare floors, so take care.
