Quick Slippers
Hook size G or H (I used H) 4 ply yarn-- scraps (2 oz) Ch 33 (or as long as the foot) DC in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, (go thru both loops) ch 3 and turn. Now DC in each dc across, ch 3 turn. Keep doing this till you have 12 - 13 rows, end off with a 12" tail of yarn. Thread tail onto a sewing needle and weave yarn through one end of the oblong, pull tightly to gather, then whip stitch down folded slipper to a bit farther than half way. Finish off and cut yarn. Whip stitch heel. You can add a pom pom if you like. These do crochet up quickly and you could do them in any size by varying the number of sts and rows. You can also add a dc cuff. copyrighted to Bev Qualheim 2001
