GAUGE
In geometric pattern, 13 sts and 13 rows = 4”/10cm.

Each slipper is worked in the geometric pattern using two colors. Working with chunky yarn and small hook, in the two-color pattern results in a thick, strong fabric, perfect for footwear.

See pattern for additional construction details.

STITCHES USED
Chain (ch), double crochet (dc) single crochet (sc)

Geometric Pattern (multiple of 4 sts + 1)

Knit version

Editor errata notes:
It says to attach cuff to WS of slipper, but says to fold cuff over and shows the RS of the cuff when it’s folded. But if you follow the pattern and start the geometric pattern on the RS on row2 after attaching the chain across, then when you fold over the cuff, the WS will show…. From the photo online, it looks as if you should make the WS of the slipper the RS of the cuff, then fold over.
