Crochet Slippers for All!

So i've been on a crochet slipper kick recently, specifically 'spring time' themed slippers. I've made pairs for my mom, friends and of course myself! They are super easy and quick (perfect for taking on my bus rides to school); anyone who knows the basic crochet stitches can make these slippers! They are based on a combo of patterns which I will gladly share with you know.



The pattern in which my slippers are based on is the Drops Crochet Slippers . I wasn't a fan of the strap or edging on these slippers so I made some alterations. I did a simple SC border with a flower from a pattern off of The Life Artistic Blog.



Cute right? They fit perfectly. I use a standard worsted weight acrylic, I've made these in Caron Simply Soft, Vannas Choice and Loops and Threads. I then decided I wanted to try making my own flower (feeling adventurous). I had never 'designed' anything before but thought what the heck, i'll give it a go! My girlfriend wanted a pair of spring time daisy slippers, this is what I came up with:


What do you think?? Here is the pattern for these daisys
Daisy Flowers:
Make a magic loop
SC 14 in loop
Change colour - SC in 1st Ch. (Ch 3, skip St, SC in next stitch) repeat around
(SC, DC, TC, DC, SC) in each ch.3 space, slip stitch to beginning

Hope you like them!
