Last night I found the easiest, cutest granny square slipper pattern on youtube! I have been searching for an easy pattern for these slipper socks for ages as they remind me of the knitted slippers my nanna used to makes us when we were kids - a fresh pair every season!
After a quick read through of the pattern, and a quick watch of the youtube tutorial, I had whipped a pair up last night in an hour and another came off the hook this morning! I'm adding these to the presents pile... an easy, simple gift for my attempt at handmade this year!
The video tutorial is here and this particular lady has a whole channel on youtube of easy crochet projects. I always find it funny to watch how someone else hooks!
The link to the written tutorial is here.
To fit my size 9 foot I ended up doing 11 rows after the toe of the slipper is done rather than the 9 suggested. And dare I admit it, but I actually used a Spotlight acylic yarn for them. I much prefer to crochet with wool or cotton but I figured these would get a quite a bit of wear and tear and to make them easier to throw them in the wash, acrylic it was... plus, I am trying to use some of my stash up!
