From the creator: "First pair of slippers I've made, self taught started in March 2020. I used a 4mm crochet hook, and it took me about 1 1/2 hours to complete. Since then, I have tried to make many more things. I have found YouTube one of the best ways to teach yourself as you can pause and take as much time as needed especially as a beginner. Hope you like the result. Can't wait to create many more things and upload them."
