Anyone for a slipper CAL?

[bella_song]

Does anybody know where I can find a free pattern for a slipper that is really coushy, most all of them look too thin to be really comfy. I did find a cow slipper for one of the pairs I am going to make, but I want to make really nice slippers for my sisters.

This is the same site as the moccasin slipper but they are warm and cozy looking.

Well I haven't tried this pattern so I can't guarantee how it will turn out, but it sounds cushy: Padded Sole Slippers. Have you also tried looking at the slippers section of Crochet Pattern Central?

I really like these, might give these a try for some Christmas presents, looks like it might be a cold winter!

I'm not having such good luck on my slippers. It takes me a long time to do up each of the squares and so I'm getting impatient. I also think they are too big but hey .. I'll just find someone with big feet to give them to.

 

I also started trying to make up the pocketbook slippers. I like the design and I just need to be more careful with my stitch counting. I think I'll finish these before I finish my square slippers.

Annie's Attic today has the baby socks as the free pattern - Friday Nov. 17th.

I have been thinking that this pattern could make a neat slipper pattern if done with yarn and a large hook. We all are amazed at how large a pattern gets when you move from thread to yarn so it could be a goodly size as well.

 

 

someone wanted a warm and cozy slipper - I think this would do that and more.

I guess I'm joining this cal. I am making the cowboy boot slippers for a baby shower next week at my dh's asking. I finished one last night. He is just oooing and aaaing over them. First time he's done that. kinda fun!

[naidascrochet]

me too! me too! I've been wanting to make slippers for my DH and kids.

I finished both slippers. They turned out so cute. I will post pics as soon as I locate the digital camera and the charger.

Guess I'm joining this CAL too! I actually made a pair of slippers yesterday using two strands of Caron's SS and the pattern at: http://www.geocities.com/gossgirl2/abislippers.htm. Super fast pattern, but mine turned out way small. They're cute though, I'm going to give them to my boss's 14 year old daughter. I'll be making another (bigger) pair for me!

[darski]

WTG Gretchen. I think I may try that pattern as well. it looks fairly easy to do. I might even try double my chunky yarn . hmmmnnn

 

So when do we get to see pics?

[goofy]

Here is the picture. Aren't they so cute!

 

[darski]

Yesssss! I love your boots. I am so glad someone made them.

I would like to try to make some slippers. I just realized that my 5 year old has none and I am thinking it would be fun to make her a pair. I saved a few patterns you wonderful ladies posted and am going to look into making her a pair. I'm still a beginner so I'm not sure how it will turn out though.

[darski]

Hi Donna, I think you will really enjoy making slippers. They will go very quickly for little ones. It's just a matter of knowing when to stop getting bigger for little feet if you are following some of the adult patterns here.

[Gretchen]

I know I know - I need to take pics of everything I made! I even signed up for Photobucket and everything...but so far NO pics. I'm so bad. I promise I'll try to snap some tonight!

And I think the next pair I make I might even TRIPLE my Caron's SS - Oh, the Excitement!

Ok I decided to start my slipper and I'm got stuck on the first round

Here is the pattern I decided on http://kaleidesigns.com/crochet/patterns/archive/sock001.html LOL so far its not as easy as it says Any help on rnd 1 would be great. (btw can I post the round directions when I ask for help?)

[darski]

We often post just a round or a bit of troubling instruction:

 

Rnd 1: 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 10 ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next 7 ch, 7 dc in last ch; working in rem lps from opposite side, dc in next 7 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next 10 ch, 2 sc in last ch; join to first sc

 

Where did you have a problem? If it is about working along that other side it is just about doing what it says. You usually have at least one loop not used when you work a chain

[sewnsew]

I'm stuck on working in rem lps from opposite side. I just did the 7 dc in the last chain and now I'm sort of lost on how to proceed. Am I supposed to work on the other side of the original ch 21?

[darski]

Yes. you work along the other side of the original chain.

[sewnsew]

Thank you so much. I'm going to go work on it some more now. I've already frogged it twice. Thank goodness it wasn't too much.
