Easy Crochet Slipper

Hello... 

Jogjakarta weather are pretty weird lately, super hot during the day and cold in the afternoon and evening. I don't really like it when it's cold so I make this crochet slippers on a whim. My friends said it was cute so i decided to share the pattern. Although it took a while since I made this on a whim and didn't really remember the pattern... 

The size of this slipper is adjustable and can be made into any size. The color is weird because I choose the yarn color that hasn't been used and other leftover yarn. I use steel crochet hook #4 and local cotton yarn to make this slipper, but the slipper will be warmer and nicer if I have a thicker yarn though...

Material:
- steel crochet hook #4 (2.5 mm)
- local cotton yarn
- tapestry needle

Pattern:
(FrontPattern)
Round 1: Do a magic ring and 6 hdc and continue increasing the round like the way you make amigurumi. For example the next round will be like this:

Round 2: 2 hdc in each hdc around: 12 hdc
Round 3: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next hdc) around: 18 hdc
Round 4: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 2 hdc) around: 24 hdc
Round 5: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 3 hdc) around: 30 hdc
Round 6: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 4 hdc) around: 36 hdc

Round 7: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 5 hdc ) around: 42 hdc
Round 8: (2 hdc in next hdc, hdc in next 6 hdc ) around: 48 hdc


Continue increasing the round until the diameter is slightly smaller than the width of the foot.

Note: Round 9 – 27 creates the toe part of the slipper. This part is adjustable depending on the length of the feet but it shouldn't be longer than the ankle.

Round 9 – 27: hdc in each hdc around: 48 hdc. Continue until the desired length.

Note: Row 28 establishes the length for the middle and bottom part of the slipper. Make sure it snuggle tight enough and not too loose. I use 24 hdc at first but it was too short so I have to modified them later,  think around 30-32 will suits better, so make sure you make them wide enough.

Row 28: hdc in next 24 sc: 24 hdc

Note: Row 29 – 43 creates the rest of the slipper. To adjust the size just increase or decrease the row.

Row 29 – 43: ch 1, turn, hdc in next 24 hdc: 24 hdc

Finish off. With yarn needle, sew back of slipper together.



I made a mistake of doing shorter round of hdc so I modify it by adding another yarn with a different color. Why different color? Because if it's the same I'm gonna get confuse #LOL. I add another hdc round from the middle part while decreasing the round so the slipper can fit better on my feet.


Apparently I made another mistake and the slipper is still too big... Yeah the more I use them to more loose the slipper is so I add another modification on the middle part and add a strings of crocheted chain to tie the slipper.


And yess... I should've made a longer tie for the slipper. But it's cute, it's warn and nobody gonna see it anyway... Whoopps you guys seen it キャー♪ o(>▽<*)(*>▽<)o キャー♪. Anyway I hope this post is helping you on making a warm crochet slipper for yourself or your loved one (although it was a bit confusing #erp).

Bye-Bye
