Back in Mollie Makes issue nineteen, there was the most wonderful pattern for crocheting granny square slippers. The idea was so simple, that I just had to crochet them. I thought that I would start small so I crocheted I (who I'd crocheted hats and other stuff for) a pair…
See those happy, smug, feet in crochet slippers…
I used quite dark yarn, so that they would keep (relatively)
clean: hoping her Mum would appreciate that and what little girl doesn’t love
purples? They were perfect for using up
left over yearn, as the granny squares I crocheted were tiny, just two rounds…
I only had to crochet twelve granny squares to make the
slippers…
Double crochet was used to join them together, no sewing
– genius! The colours shown in Mollie Makes,
were brilliantly put together…
A big, biG, BIG thank you to the very talented Stephanie Gohr for designing these – I can’t wait to try out more of your patterns.
I am very very tempted to buy some yarn to crochet myself a cheerful pair. But Si has asked me to crochet him a pair. I can’t wait: this is the first time he has ever asked me to crochet him anything, despite repeated offers. So I must make a start. Making size nines, will take slightly longer than those for I – who is two. I’ll let you know how I get on!
