Running in Circles Slippers

I was intrigued by making slippers this way – so I decided to use some of my stash yarn and make myself a pair. I used worsted weight yarn (a combination of Bernat  and Red Heart Yarn) and the recommended 4.00 mm hook. I was able to reach and maintain gauge easily.

When I crochet things in pairs I like to make them in pieces to ensure they are the same finished size – just a small double check system I put in place for myself. I crocheted until the instructions told me to “finish off”, then switched to the other slipper to repeat the process.

I was able to make these in one evening… and they fit perfectly!

Oh! and guess what? I finally figured out how to do the reverse single crochet stitch! YEAH! The decorative edging was crocheted using this stitch.

The slippers are available in a range of sizes (XS – XL). The measurements are included in the instructions to make it easy to choose the correct size to crochet.  I made the Medium size for myself (I have size 8-feet).

The instructions were very clearly written.

The only problem I ran into was at the bottom of page-10 where I needed to crochet to a certain size measurement. To my eyes it was a jumble of numbers, slashes and brackets. It took me a few tries to understand the first 2 sets of brackets included the inches and the second sets contained the measurements for cm.

Here are my finished slippers!

I want to make more! I definitely recommend this eBook – there are a variety of great patterns to choose from – for me the slipper patterns included (there are two!) are worth the price of the book.
