To finish
Weave in any loose ends.
Pin sole to upper with wrong sides together, easing to fit around toe.
Using a K-101/2 (7mm) hook, join yarn with a slip stitch to center of heel, inserting
hook through both layers, work ch 1, then work sc through both layers all around,
join with a slip stitch to first sc. Fasten off and weave in end.
If desired, turn down first three rows of leg to form a "cuff"
at top of slipper.
Cut two pieces of leather for each slipper, using the two templates
(see page 143), one for the sole under the ball of the foot and one for the sole
under the heel. Hand sew these leather pads to the soles, using a matching sewing
thread. Note: To make the hand sewing easier, if you have a sewing machine use it
to punch holes through the leather. Set the sewing machine to an extra- long stitch
and do not thread the needle, then stitch all around the cut out shapes, 1/8in/4mm
from the edge. Overcast stitch the pieces in place. through the punched holes.
Masterclass
Adjusting the slipper pattern for different sizes
One of crochet's greatest qualities is its flexibility. As this slipper
boot is worked in basic single crochet, it very easy to adjust the length and width
of the basic shape to suit different foot sizes. If you have a narrow foot, take
out 2 chain from the width of the sole and 2 stitches from the top of the foot;
or, alternatively, if you have a wide foot, add 2 chain (and 2 stitches) to the
width. Alter the length of the foot by working fewer or more rows within the straight
sole (and top of foot) section. As a general tip, add or subtract 1/2in/1cm if you
wish to make a larger or smaller size. This is a very versatile pattern: I prefer
a short boot that I wear with the edge rolled down to form a cuff, but you can work
a longer cuff for a higher boot and even work the initial row in a contrasting yarn
to give a further decorative detail.
