I am stopping by to show you my newest project, the thing that has been keeping me busy for the past few days. It’s baby slippers, designed to fit little feet from 0 to 3 months.
As you can see, I made many. Especially because they are so easy to whip up. And once I made a pair in one color combination, another one popped up in my mind immediately so I just had give that one a try as well. To my astonishment, this process led me to 12 pairs altogether. Haha. I love them all.
If you’d like to make these crocheted slippers too, you can find all the necessary details and step-by-step pictures in my pattern shops here or here.
And here are a few more pictures I took for the inspiration…
In other words, I really adore the comment sections below my posts. Often they are a source of very interesting ideas.
Like, for example, there’s this Crochet Slippers Tutorial that I once wrote. And just recently I noticed my friend Drora suggesting that it could be fun to turn those slippers into miniatures.
I fell in love with that idea instantly.
And this is what I made.
Tiny and cute, if I may say so myself.
I thought the mini slippers would look lovely as Christmas ornaments too.
Hm, what do you think?
As I mentioned, I used my Crochet Slippers Pattern to make them. The original pattern only needed a little bit of tweaking and simplifying.
If you’d like to give this tiny little project a try too, then I hope this pattern for mini slippers will be helpful. The pattern uses US crochet terms. I used lace weight yarn and A/0 (2mm) hook…
Round 1: magic ring – ch 1, 6 sc
Round 2: work in spiral, do not join rounds with slip stitches, mark first stitch of each round…
2 sc in first stitch of previous round,
2 sc in all following stitches,
[stitch count: 12]
Round 3: 2 sc in first stitch of previous round,
1 sc in following stitch,
*2 sc in following stitch,
1 sc in following stitch*,
repeat *…* all around,
[stitch count: 18]
Round 4: 1 sc in each stitch [stitch count: 18]
Rounds 5-7: repeat Round 4 [stitch count: 18]
Row 8: 1 Sl stitch in following stitch,
ch 1,
1 sc in 13 following stitches
[stitch count: 14]
Row 9: ch 1, turn,
1 sc in first stitch,
1 sc in all following stitches
[stitch count: 14]
Rows 10-17: repeat Round 9 [stitch count: 14]
Fold the last row in half with the wrong side of the slipper facing out and join the two halves together with slip stitches. Finish off and weave in the ends.
To create a border, attach a yarn of different color to the slipper opening and crochet a single crochet stitch into each stitch all along the opening. Finish off and weave in the ends.
Also, you can use a fabric stiffener to make your mini slippers look neater. I did do that.
My collection of crocheted ornaments for this year’s Christmas tree seems to be slowly coming together. There are more of colorful little decorations to come, so stay tuned.
Have a very lovely week, dear friends!
Love,
Petra

Caps.
Hand made caps.
My Mom’s made them.
This winter.
A purple cap.
Love the color.
Love the pom-pom.
They all have pom-poms.
I like the pattern.
And the colors, too.
This might be my most favorite one.
I love all shades of gray.
For some reason.
Cute, cute, cute.
See?
It’s totally in the genes.
With me it’s mostly slippers and purses that I feel this strange need to produce in dozens. My Mom, on the other hand, makes cap after cap after sweater after cap after sweater… after cap.
I love her.
Hey, guys! Do you also have an obsession that runs in your family and you love it?
I need to know…

Hi, dear friends.
I wish you the most beautiful Monday and the most wonderful week.
Anyway, I just finished a new pair of slippers.
I like these. Probably because they are pink. And they have flowers. That all makes them girly. And I love girly.
Just wanted to let you know.
Because how could you possibly go on without information like this?
Right?
Also, I wanted to let you know, in case you haven’t seen it yet, that I’ve prepared a simple TUTORIAL on how to make crocheted slippers like these. Just for you.
Love,
Petra
