Elf Crochet Slippers
By Carolina Gonzalez
YARN: Schachenmayr SMC, Bravo Collection, 100 grams, acrylic.
HOOK: 4 mm.
SIZE: These slippers are meant to be worn over socks in the winter, so they
are made a bit large. Using the same hook and yarn I used, the sock should
measure:
Sole length: 24cms/ 9,4 inches.
Sole Width: 11,5 cms/ 4,5 inches.
Ankle circumference: 27 cms/ 10,6 inches.
Try it as you make it, with socks on, and feel free to adjust the size if you have
smaller feet, or use a thinner yarn and a smaller hook.
ABBREVIATIONS:
SC: single crochet
SCBL: single crochet on back loop
SCFL: single crochet on front loop
DC: double crochet
