If you’ve never slipped your feet into a pair of handcrafted crochet slippers, then you are really missing out. The comfort and coziness of crochet slippers can’t be beat. And of course, there’s special satisfaction when you’ve crocheted them yourself.

Here is what you will need to make this pattern

Materials:

  • 2 skeins of Bonbon Kalin Nako - thick acrylic yarn with the Turkish Nako factory. Upholstered with a good twist thread - soft to the touch and easy to work with, well-worn, do not fade and do not roll down. Advantages Bonbon Calin - a good quality for a low price. / 8 ply yarn in dark purple (color A) and small amount of white (color B). and a little bit of coral (color C), but you can replace it with other yarn having the same weight.
  • 4.5 mm crochet hook
  • tapestry needle to sew in the ends
  • scissors.
  • Markers

Gauge:
12 fpdc x 18 rounds = 10cm x 10cm (unstretched) = 4 inches x 4 inches
Size:
The slippers have a lot of stretch in length! It measures 24 cm (9 inches) in length and slipper circumference around the foot 21 cm (about 8 inches)
Please check your gauge and also try the slippers on while working.
For larger sizes work more rounds and rows.
Special Stitches:
ch: chain
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
fpdc: front post double crochet
bpdc: back post double crochet
st: stitch
yo: yarn over
slst: slip stitch

Notes:
1-I used bpdc2tog inv= invisible decrease back post double crochet
yo and insert hook from the back to the front around the post of the next 2 sts (at the same time) on the previous row. Complete as for regular dc.

2-How to change colors: work the last st before changing colors till half, having 2 loops on hook, pick CC yarn and end the stitch, pulling CC yarn through the 2 loops on hook.
Do not cut yarns when changing colors, you can choose to work around the yarn not in use, or you can carry the unworked yarns across the back. Keep the tension of the strands not in use a little loose, to maintain elasticity.

Hope you will enjoy making this pattern!
