BEV'S WINTER SLIPPERS
(c) 2006, 2010 Beverly A. Qualheim -All Rights Reserved
Size H hook for teens and adults, use a G hook for kids
2 oz WW yarn
I used a single strand of Red Heart worst weight yarn, but you could
make them warmer with a 2nd strand of sock yarn or fingering yarn. You
could also make these a few rows longer for men. They stretch really
nicely too. These fit women size 7-10
RND 1: Ch 2 then make 12 dc inthe 2nd chain from the hook. Join
with a sl st to the top of the original ch 2. (12 sts)
RND 2: Ch 2, make another dc in
same st as ch 2, 2 dc in each dc around. Join with sl st in top of ch 2
of previous rnd. (24 sts)
RND 3: Ch 2, make another dc in
same st as ch 2, *dc in next 5 dc, 2 dc in next dc, repeat from * 2
more times. Join. (27)
RND 4 - 10: Ch 2, dc in same st, dc
in each dc around including the very last one. Join. (27 dc each
time)
Row 11: (back of foot and heel)
Ch 2, dc in same st, then dc in next 19 dcs (leaving 6 dc unworked) .
You are now going back and forth.
Row 12-17: Ch 2, dc in 2nd stitch
from hook and in each dc across, including the very last dc.
Slip stitch the heel closed, matching stitch for stitch. Cut yarn with
4" tail and wave back inside the slipper.
Cuff
Top
Add a contrasting color (you could even use Fun Fur with your strand of
worsted weight, for women's slippers).
Ch 2, and dc
26 evenly around foot opening. Join.
Rnd 2: Ch 2, dc in each dc around. Join.
Rnd 3: Ch 2 then alternate front post stitch and back post stitch
around.
Cut yarn with 4" tail, weave back and forth inside slipper.

Hope you can make a few pairs for loved ones, and maybe for a shelter
or nursing
home this year.
Then to
make them non-slip for nursing homes or little ones, use a spray
non-skid coat like the one above, to spray on the bottoms of each
slipper.
