SICK LIL MONKEYS: Carnival Polka Slippers

Carnival Polka Slippers

I began a line of Carnival Polka Items earlier this year, then My grandmother (Mama Too) asked me to crochet her something for the 1st time ever! She asked for some comfy "house shoes". She has had multiple surgeries on her tiny size 7 feet, and the constricting slippers usually sold were hurting her feet. These were made with a bit of extra "toe room" to accommodate those with "owies" or "boo-boo's" on their toes! :)

SPECIAL STITCHES

PUFF ST - Work 4 TR leaving the last loop on your hook each time, yarn over and pull final loop through all 5 loops on hook

NOTES

SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND DO A GAUGE SWATCH!. This pattern is hooked VERY tightly, your slippers will turn out WAY too large if you do not have proper gauge, if you need to try it with a J hook instead.

House Shoes - Make 2 with K hook
