Chucks Slipper Socks

by Amy Dutsch

THIS is merely a guide for how to make the slippers. You

WILL have to adjust per your foot size and your crochet

tension. Try different weight yarns and hook sizes. You will

need to remove or add rows for various size feet. This

pattern is being tested, if you find any errors, suggestions,

changes, etc, please feel free to message me at http://www.ravelry.com/people/mamaslilmonkeys

Materials:

G Hook

Worsted Weight Yarn in white/cream, black and main shoe

color

Shoelaces

LOW TOP VERSION

Women's Size 9-12/Men's Size 7-9

Make TWO

In White:

Row 1: In Magic Ring, dc 13. Join with slst

Row 2: Ch 3, 2 dc in each st. Join with slst

Row 3 & 4: Ch 3, dc in each st. Join with slst

Change to Main Color (red or chosen color)

Rows 5-8: Repeat row 3

Rows 9-19: Working in ROWS now. Ch 3, dc 13 (make sure to dc

in the starting ch of previous row). Turn. Repeat row 9 until row

19.

Row 20: For this part of the slipper you'll go back to the

unfinished part of Row 9 where the "tongue" of the shoe slipper

started. You're now making the "base" of the slipper. Insert the

hook as shown

Ch 3, 2 dc in same st as ch, 2dc in next, dc across to the last 2 st.

2dc in each of the last 2 st. 1 dc in the "corner" at the end of the

row. Turn.

Row 21-40: ch 3, dc in each st across. Repeat until you reach row

40.

Finishing the Slipper Sock:

Turn the ends of Row 40 right sides together and stitch together to

make a back seam of the shoe. Finish and weave in ends.

Adding Embellishments:

Weave in white shoelaces just as you would lace up a pair of shoes,

slipping in the stitches.

Make the White Circle:

With G Hook

Round 1: make a magic ring, dc 12 in ring, join with slst

Round 2: ch 3, dc in same st as ch. 2 dc in each st around. Join

with slst, leave a long tail for sewing onto slipper sock.

Embroider a black star and stitching on to the white circle. Sew the

circle on to the outside side of the shoe.

To make it a high top version:

Working in ROWS:

Starting at your BACK SEAM, count 8 stitches or so over from the

center seam. Mark with a stitch marker.

Repeat for the other side.

Starting at your marker, join same color yarn, ch3 and dc across to

the other stitch marker. Turn, ch 3, dc across again.

Repeat this until the 'high top' is the length you want, usually 3

rows or so. Try on and see how it feels.
