Hey guys. Haven't been around since I have so many things going on. But now they are sorted out and can focus to my creations and blog.
So free pattern coming your way. Christmas is around the corner and I need to make a lot of gifts so I thought what is better than a pair of slippers? Very fast to make and everyone loves them!
Easy Chunky Ballerina Slippers
You will need:
Row 1: 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches)
Row 2: *1 sc, 2 sc in same stitch* repeat till end of row (18 stitches)
Row 3:
After completing last row of desired size we are done with the first part of the slipper and we go on as follows:
With same or contrasting color sc around the edge of the slipper twice. Break yarn weave in all ends and your first slipper is ready!
Please keep in mind that the slipper may look small at first but these babies stretch a lot. In any case I highly recommend trying on the slipper while making it especially if you are using yarn that has little or no stretch just so that you avoid any surprises.
You will need:
100 gr super bulky yarn (I used drops Eskimo) plus a few grams more if you want to add a contrasting color
6 mm hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle
Level: easy
Abbreviations (US)
Ch - chain
Sc - single crochet
Dc - double crochet
Sl - slip stitch
Chain 2. Make 6 sc in the second chain. Sl to join in round.
Row 1: 2 sc in each stitch (12 stitches)
Row 2: *1 sc, 2 sc in same stitch* repeat till end of row (18 stitches)
Row 3:
Small size (5/6) single crochet along row (18 stitches)
Medium size (7/8) *3 sc, 2 sc in same stitch, 4 sc, 2 sc in same stitch* repeat twice, 1 sc (22 stitches)
Large size (9/10) *2 sc, 2 sc in same stitch* repeat till end of row (24 sc)
Row 4: work 4 (4, 5) rows of dc all stitches in round
After completing last row of desired size we are done with the first part of the slipper and we go on as follows:
14, (16, 18) dc, ch 1, turn (not working in round anymore in order to make the sole of the slipper).
Continue working like this for 8 (9, 10) times.
Break yarn and sew the edge of the slipper folding it in half (leave a long tail if you want to finish your slippers in one color). I would recommend using an invisible sewing technique.
With same or contrasting color sc around the edge of the slipper twice. Break yarn weave in all ends and your first slipper is ready!
You can let your imagination free and make unique slippers by adding different colors, appliqués, buttons or even ribbon. You can also easily turn them into Mary Janes.
Please keep in mind that the slipper may look small at first but these babies stretch a lot. In any case I highly recommend trying on the slipper while making it especially if you are using yarn that has little or no stretch just so that you avoid any surprises.

Hi! I can't thank you enough! this was exactly what I was looking for - a while now...
ReplyDeleteSo quick and easy plus great instructions.
I came home from work yesterday, found this on Pinterest and made my mom a pair by dinner time :)
Thank you for sharing this simple and effective pattern.

PS just one little question, I made the small version, which ends at 18 stitches in the round, now for the sole part, the instructions read to do 18 , turn and continue, but it seemed to me that this would leave no curve for the top of the foot, so I only did 13stitches back and forth, till the end. It came out OK.

Thank you very much for your comment! You are right it was my mistake. It should be 14 for small size, I corrected it on the post! Thank you!
DeleteI do not know how hyou can post a photo at a comment here. Are you on Ravelry? If yes you can post it there on the project. If not, you can upload it to a site like photobucket for example and share a link! I'd love to see them :)
Made a pair of these last night as a last minute Christmas present for my grandma - love the pattern, they fit well and come together so quickly! Thanks!

How do i download pattern
ReplyDeleteI don't have chunky yarn, was wondering if you could use worsted yarn # 4 and if so how many strands would you use? I want to make these for my nieces Birthday and add owl eyes and beak to them.
