Okay. So here’s my plan. I want to have a bunch of hand made items stock piled for Christmas this year. I gave each family a gift basket full of homemade canning, scarves and our cookbook last year. They were a huge hit! So I’m starting early, I know. But isn’t there some saying about a bird and a worm? Anyway, where is this going?
I thought that it would be cool for everyone to have a pair of slippers. And these turned out SO CUTE!
I purchased a really easy and adorable slipper pattern from Tara at Mamachee on Etsy. I love the look of the different colored sole. The only thing was that the pattern for the women’s size 7-8 turned out to be a child’s size 11. I don’t know if it was my yarn, my hook or just that I have really tight stitches. And, after creating a few slippers, they still took me about 3 hours to make each pair.
I have been experimenting with my own slipper design that is super, duper easy and really fast. Not as pretty as these two-tone ones but fast! Did I mention that you can make them really fast? Like under an hour for a pair fast! So I will have Crochet Slippers ~ Part Two for you soon. Where I will share my super, duper easy and really fast crochet slipper pattern!
Thanks for popping in!
And I thought it was just me! I had the same issue with this pattern! Love the slippers, but so frustrating!
Just curious, what size did you end up having luck with – to actually make a size 7-8 that fits?
Look forward to seeing your pattern!
I thought maybe it’s because I’m Canadian and it was lost in translation or something LOL I used the largest size on the pattern {11-12} and got a small size 7. I kind of gave up after that because they also took a bit of time to make. I’ll have my easy version posted soon!
That’s funny! I’m Canadian too and that thought went through my mind as well. I tried almost every size up but still couldn’t make them fit!
Glad to hear you’ve made an easy version!
