A long time ago, before I had gone over to the crochet dark side, I’d seen this pattern for slippers made from humble granny squares. It immediately went on my “things to do” list but languished towards the bottom as other projects stole my attention. I finally got round to starting them some years later. There were complications from the start; they were using super chunky yarn, I only had chunky weight so I compensated by adding an extra round on each square but ended up with slippers so big that they fitted my husband’s size 11 feet! He did model them for me but wasn’t too keen – too out there for him I think!
So I unpicked and started again. One less round meant that the squares were too small so I compromised by doing htr instead of tr in the final round. They’re a totally scrappy project, I used the ends of four different balls of yarn yet I feel they have a slightly Arabian look and they get the job done – toasty toes all round!
Pattern: Mollie Makes Issue 19
Yarn: Sirdar Folksong in Flower Power 381 (sadly discontinued now – I only bought one ball because it was pretty so I’m glad to have found a use for it!), My Boshi in Lime and various bits of navy and bottle green yarn!
