Well, I've mostly been keeping my posts in order, but I wanted to make the slipper pattern available. I went back and double checked my hastily sketched diagram, that I mentioned in The Slipper Project, to make sure it was correct. Luckily it was. On my first test, however, I misread my own pattern. Oops. So I went back and made a second pair, using three colors instead of my standard two for illustration purposes. Here's the initial diagram, and one of the original pair of shoes (in peach) along with the two new pairs created during the pattern test:
The slipper is constructed in three parts: a sole, the shoe sides, and the upper toe. The sole begins with a line of chain stitches, then works in rounds to make an oval: shown in medium blue.
After checking my initial pattern, I went and wrote up the instructions nicely. Here's a picture of the new chart:
Complete instructions, both written out row by row (using ch, sc, and dc) and charted with an explanation of the symbols, can be downloaded via GoogleDocs or Ravelry .

Are your crochet instructions for US or UK methods?
ReplyDeleteYour baby shoes are lovely, I work in knitting and have created adult's and children's boots but not tried anything for babies yet.
Sorry, not sure how I missed seeing your comment for so long. The instructions are both written out and charted. The written instructions are probably closest to US instructions (although if you have specific differences you are concerned about, I may be able to address them). The charted instructions use the Japanese crochet symbols.
