Slipper Socks


Now that I have a couple of patterns under my belt, I’m feeling a little more confident that I can do this. I was planning on doing a slipper pattern, but I’m not sure I’m ready for that so I decided to do a pair of socks. Since I was not quite ready to attemp socks with a heel, I made these slipper socks without a heel. They turned out ok and seem pretty comfortable.

This pattern is using just the basic stitches like double crochet and single crochet. The majority of the pattern is alternating the double crochet and single crochet…doing a single crochet in a previous double crochet and doing a double crochet in a previous single crochet. I made this to fit a woman’s size 10 foot, however since there is no heel, I think it will fit any size foot. If you wanted to adjust the size, you could always change the size of your hook.
