365 Crochet

If you still haven't learned how to make the crocodile stitch, now's a great time!  I've been making these for a holiday craft show coming up soon, so by now I have the pattern memorized. However, I'd love to share it with you, because it's quick and pretty easy; don't let those complicated looking stitches scare you away. Once you learn the crocodile stitch, you'll be designing your own patterns! (btw, the crocodile stitch makes a great mitten or glove cuff!)  I only included one size for these cuffs, however they do stretch quite a bit, but if you'd like them smaller or larger, you may adjust your hook size. So here's my pattern, enjoy! Designed By: Farrah Hodgson (Firene Designs) Skill Level: Intermediate Materials:  Worsted Weight Yarn of your choice (Medium, 4) about 180 yards. (I used Ice Yarn, Brico Wool, two 50 g balls) Size 5.00mm/H crochet hook yarn needle to sew in ends Finished Measurements: 6 inches wide at top ...

Well, I guess I'm going to have to post this pattern today because I keep getting this sent to my wall, messaged, and tagged to me on Facebook :D  I actually did see this prior, via Pinterest and kind of skipped over it, but everyone else seems to really love it!  You can easily turn your flip flops into crochet slippers!  Basically, you just poke holes into the flip flop foam to create a border to crochet into.  (I used a large curved upholstery needle) They are super cute, and the only reason that I had skipped over it, was because I have done it before and the result was great at first... but they didn't hold up.  The foam ripped all of the way through in several places and created holes.  Maybe I used a bad quality flip flop, maybe I was too rough on them, maybe, several maybe's... that being said, maybe I will have to try again and see what happens.  They are pretty adorable, so it's worth it to give it a shot, and nice that someone has explain...

The use of fake fur and buttons make these adorable little boots stand out among the rest!  The designer has written the pattern for these in three different sizes from 0-3 months up to 6-9 months.  Just scroll down her free patterns page a bit to find more sizes. Think of the color combinations that could be used and the different buttons!   Designed By: Kitty's Kreations Skill Level: Easy Materials : Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice  White Fuzzy/ Fur yarn  (4) Buttons of your choice  Tapestry Needle  Size Hook: E Get the Free Pattern!

These crochet legwarmer boot style slippers are a result of a custom order that I recently made for a customer.  I was sent a random photo of some slippers that were posted on a local buy/sell web site, so "someone" has made these before.  But from which pattern?  Did they invent them?  What materials did they use?  I do not know!  A google image search brought me this one and only photo which has since been removed.  ( I assume they sold them!)  So... began the thought process.  The slipper bottoms look a lot like the bottoms of of my short crocodile boots , so I rolled with that.  The tops, are really easy, just basically rows of dc stitches.  The tops are attached to the bottoms as you work from top to bottom, with no sewing required! But as simple as they are, they are quite cute and comfy!  Enjoy! Designed By: Farrah Hodgson Skill Level: Easy Materials: Craftsmart Value (from Micheals, similar to Red Heart Su...

I've been on a slipper making frenzy lately, and decided that it was about time that I write this pattern out so that other people can understand it!  Boot slippers can be quite easy to make once you find a sole and foot pattern that you like to follow, because from there, it's all in the leg of the slipper.  This pattern begins loosely following the pattern for Rows of Cables Boot Slipper s, but changes into the crocodile stitch for the cuff.  I love the crocodile stitch, and if you've never tried it, here's your chance!  Many people use different variations for this stitch, it depends on what you're making, but the basic concept is always the same.  I will try my best to describe it to you (with photos!). Designed By: Farrah Hodgson Skill Level : Advanced Materials: Bernat Super Value, Worsted (4), approx 389m (426 yds), Taupe Size 5.0mm (H) crochet hook Yarn Needle to sew in ends Size: Women's medium foot, US shoe size 7-9 -----UPDATE!! -...

I can't take full credit for this pattern!  This is a "re-make" of my mother's pattern, Cabled Boot Slippers .  I love the look of cables, boots, and slippers; and love the original pattern, however, the yarn I was using did not match the pattern gauge so I had to change it up a bit.   The original uses double strands of Red Heart Super Saver worsted, and I've been using Red Heart Comfort worsted.  Both are worsted, but there's quite a difference!  My yarn, double stranded, made the original pattern come out way too big!  I tried dropping my hook size, it seemed to help for size, but it was really hard on my hands as the tension was so tight.  I wasn't letting this pattern go, so I had to re-think the process! So now using one strand of worsted yarn, I was able to re-write the pattern.  They are not as chunky as the original and have a couple extra cable rows for length.  But the basic concept is the same!  These slippers wo...
