Yes, all free patterns....if you give me a little time, I can look them up and post the links :) They all worked up pretty fast, and were easily sized (I had a great time trying to sneak peeks at peoples' feet to figure out what size to make for them, lol!)

Ok, here are some links....

 

The 4th pic and 2 prs in the last pic are this pattern

I used Premier Yarns Angel self-striping for the three prs in the 4th pic, and Cotton Ease for the 2 prs in the last pic

 

In the second pic, the lavendar ballet style are from a C'viller Sonny321

I used Caron SS for these.

 

The two pairs with flowers on them in the last pic is this pattern from Ravelry, I used Vanna's Choice for them.

The three pairs in the first pic are this pattern, I used RHSS.

The blue and white, and blue and brown strapped slippers in the second and third pics are this pattern. Using different yarns gave me a different look for the edging.

The turquoise mary janes are this pattern (I used Cotton Ease)

The two ribbed/textured pairs in the third pic are another pattern by Sonny321 :)

I used Premier yarns Serenity worsted for the purple, and a mix of the same plus Vanna's Glamour yarn for the bronze pair.

 

Whew, lol..I think that's all of them?

What perfect gifts for folks who have to be on their feet most of the day! I'll bet you are going to be the hit of the hospital/clinic! They are all so nice but I really like the slipper socks in the first picture! Those are my kind of slippers! :) You have really been busy -- don't think I could make that many in 6 weeks!

Glad to share the links....I purposely picked the ones I did because they are simple, versatile, and quick to work up....I dont think any of them took me more than one hour per slipper (give or take a few minutes). Plus I was able to use up some of my stash :D

The only yarn I bought specifically to make slippers was the Premier yarns Angel self-striping...I fell in love with those colors, and the smaller yarn helped me get the gauge to make smaller sizes (5-6) without changing the pattern at all. Some of my co-workers have tiny feet! LOL

 

I had a lot of fun making them...I just made them in between orders I had gotten. I have also made numerous hats, a couple scarves, a neckwarmer/cowl, several pairs of texting gloves, and some other various things in the past 8-10 weeks for Cmas orders.

 

Good thing I love to crochet, huh? :)

Joy
