3. Materials Needed
– Yarn: Bernat Blanket Yarn (Weight: Bulky, approx. 150 yards each in Dusty Rose, Charcoal, and Cream)
– Hook: 6.0mm (US J/10) crochet hook
– Marker: Stitch marker
– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing in ends
– Optional extras: Non-slip sole material for added safety on slippery surfaces
4. Designer Notes / Tips
To create these plush slippers, we will be using basic crochet stitches that are beginner-friendly. The pattern involves simple double crochet stitches to give the slippers their chunky texture. Remember to keep your tension consistent for a uniform look.
When it comes to stuffing, these slippers don’t require additional stuffing; the yarn itself provides enough bulk. For those looking to add a non-slip feature, consider using a non-slip material on the soles to help prevent slipping on smooth surfaces.
Gauge may not be as crucial for this pattern due to its relaxed nature, but if you want your slippers to fit snugly, aim for a tension of 8 stitches and 10 rows in double crochet to measure 4 inches square. If you’re using a different yarn, consider adjusting your hook size accordingly.
Lastly, if you’re making these slippers for children or as a gift for someone who may not be as cautious, be mindful of any embellishments or loose ends that could pose a choking hazard.
