I just finished the bottom half the slippers and i realized… They’re gonna be too small. I wear like a 9.5 to almost a 10 shoe size. Is there a way i can enlarge this pattern to fit my foot?
Use a larger hook &/or bulky yarn instead of the worsted. That usually increases size without having to adjust the pattern.
I think you could try a coupla different ways.
*you could add 1 or 2 rows (whatever makes it the right size) on the soles and then as you will have extra stitches you can enlarge the upper for your size.
*you could frog your work and start again, adding 4 or 5 stitches to the beginning chain and follow with your pattern making the slipper larger all round.
Wonderful slippers, can’t wait to try my hand at them. I’m thinking to convert them into sandals of sort with wrap around the ankles. Something like that. Thank for posting this
So cute! These would make wonderful gifts!
these are beautiful, however i donot crochet sorry… Do you have pattern in knit??? thanks
Super cute although, these are so small! Not adult sized at all. They fit my 6 year old niece.
These turned out great. I changed a couple of things and adde some rows around the ankle and top of food so they would stay on my foot and omitted the pom poms. I did some alternating colors to make them Christmasy .. ie the main color red but the tongue green. Then altnerating red and green around the ankle.
I would love this pattern. Can I download it though. I don’t know how to keep it if I can’t download it.
Copy & paste it….or screen shot each section.
I’m confused …….perhaps over thinking, but when attaching the soles it says to go back 12 stitches…..I did (from the toe area) it looks like the Puffy area that’s on the back if ankle is more on the side. I’ve not finished but wanted to ask.
Oh my goodness, someone please help!! I’m following pattern, 1st side of chain looking good…then wham! I slam into the ch3, dc same st…I’m almost positive this is where things not going well!! Same stitch as…???is it the base of the ch3??
Email me with solution. Or wherever!! Thanks!!
Oh my goodness…hello, read the ENTIRE paragraph!! I’m sooo pretty….
Apparently, I was skim reading or something…I’m not sure how I did it, but I combined the other side of chain instructions with Rnd2. No wonder the sole wasn’t looking like it should!! Love it when I get to fix my own issues!
Thanks!!
