I’ve been quiet over the last week with yet more crochet, in fact its safe to say I’ve become a little bit obsessed with the easy rhythm of hooking the wool and pulling it through. I found a pattern for Mary Jane crochet slippers on the website Good Knits – and here is one of the finished slippers:
Why a photo of only one slipper? I hear you ask. Ok… you asked for it – this is them together:
see the bar across the front, you will notice that I didn’t quite measure both the same, so the one on the right is very much longer than the one on the left – ooops! Luckily they are only for me, and I’m happy to loop it around the button twice, but if I make any as a gift for anyone else, I’ll be sure to measure them right!
I only had chunky wool rather than DK, but to be honest that worked better for me as my feet are a size 8 and if I’d used DK then I would have had to increase the length of the foot. I might try another pair in DK for my daughter – I’ll let you know whether they fit her size 6 foot.
Next time I might be ready to show you my 70’s pattern revamp, but it’s taking a little longer to make than I expected. I’m just hoping it will be worth the wait!
