Simple Crocheted Slippers, Modified

I made these for my cousin while we were driving in the car because she liked the ones I made for my husband and me. I quick took a picture of them before giving them to her.











First step was to draw a picture of her foot and download the pattern from www.crochetand knitting.com/slpprs5.htm

I used a "g" hook. Then I modified it slightly (see my notes below)
  1. I crocheted 2 strands for the sole and made slightly fewer rows. I also ribbed by crocheting in the back stitch. Using 2 strands and ribbing makes a very cushy slipper. The sole was slightly wider and longer than her foot.
  2. Body of slipper was decreased basically the same except with slightly different number of stitches and crocheted in back loops because it is easier to count my rows.
  3. Crocheted 16 slip stitches to make a rib 15 SC high. I usually connect as I go.
I crochet in steps to keep both feet the same size. First I do both soles, then the bodies, then the ribbing so I can adjust if needed as I go. I generally store the pattern in the same zip lock bag where I keep my project until I'm done.

























I've been crocheting but not sure when I will be able to post again.
