Soft Winter Slippers (or Mary Janes)

For my pattern , it really depends on what size or type of yarn your using.

Im using chunky green yarn, with a size G needle, to make it a bit more plush.

It fit my mom , which is about a size 11. (Yes i come from a big foot family..)

You might have to experiment and  see what works for your foot size...

For my foot im like a size 9-10

I dont remeber what size yarn it was but , the name of the brand was

Lionbrand. It's really good quality yarn. They sell it at Joanne's for $ 2.33, its a good size roll

for that amount of money.

Anyway

Rnd 1: Im gonna do 6 dc in a magic circle. then im gonna close up the ring.

Rnd 2: Do

2 dc in each st (12 dc). Sl st in the top of the first st and ch 2.

Rnd 3: Now we're going to do 1 dc in the first st , and do 2 dc in the next (18 dc). Sl st ,ch 2.

Rnd 4: We're  going to do 1 dc in the next 2 st, then 2 dc in the next st(24 dc). You are

 going to follow that pattern all the way around.

 This is what my slipper looked like after Rnd 4,

Now do 1 or  2 even rows( which means do 1 dc in each st around sl st, ch 2),

it depends on how long you want the

toe of your slipper to be (24 dc).( This is what my slipper looked like after the even rows.

Now pay attention , we're going to be working in rows. This is gonna

make the sole of the shoe.

Do 18 dc, ch 2 and turn. Do 8 rows of this. This is what mine looked like after row 3,

On the 9th row, you're gonna work in the first 9 dc, then dc3tog.

and work the rest of the st. Now we're gonna do another row.

For this row we're gonna work in the first 8 dc then dc3tog.

Work in the rest of the stitches.

We are going to seam up the open edge, which will make the heel of

the slipper. LISTEN UP...

You need to turn the shoe inside out! I kept forgetting to do so.

Ta- da!!  Turn right side and you should have a basic slipper.

Now pay attention to this part.. Even I kept messing up on this part!

 You may use a contrasting color if you want.

You're gonna join in the center and also do a sc in that same spot. Now you're gonna

sc along the side until you reach to the corner. When you reach to the corner you are going to sc3tog.

Then do about 3 dc, and sc3tog again at the next corner. If you don't want to add the strap

( I prefer not to...) , then continue single crocheting down the side , and sc3tog at the heel. fasten off and weave in.

If you do want to add the strap then after doing a sc3tog for the seond time,

do 3-4 sc then ch 10. join at the opposite side of the slipper. You shold be doing something like this,

Then, work in the ch ,and then continue working along the side as before..You should

be doing something like so...

Lastly , sc3tog at the heel , fasten off and weave in the tail...

and ....TA-DA!!! You're finally done with your slippers!!!
