How to Crochet Slippers

 

NEEDED:  
- crochet hook and yarn or plarn, fitted for each other. (for example: I used medium sized rather bulky plastic shopping bags, cutted in balls of plarn, with a width of 1/2 inch, which crocheted very well with a crochet hook of 3 mm. For my Belgian shoe-size 37, which is a length of 23cm, I needed 4 bags for the upper sides, 6 bags for the inner soles, and another 6 (black) bags for the outer soles, and I had enough left to crochet all together)
- when you will use plarn, it might be handy to know How to make plarn (click here)
- scissors
- measuring tape, to measure the foot and to know when your first sole is done.
- 8 help-strands: somewhat stronger strands, like cotton, to hold the pieces together while assembling
- a pencil or something to write down the numbers of your first slipper, so the second looks exactly alike, without the need of measuring

baby booties / baby baskettertjes

(ENG) I simply wanted to follow a pattern, but I couldn't get the soles right, and it had no tongue, ..., so I develloped my own basket booties. I also wanted it to have stars, but as little, every attempt looked as a flower. Then my mom helped me out with a genious idea: since it was for a girl, it would be cute with flowers too; and right she was, as usual :-)
(NL) ik wou gewoon, simpel een patroon volgen, maar ik kreeg de zolen niet goed, en het had geen tong, ..., dus ontwierp ik maar mijn eigen basketsloefkes. Ik wou ook dat het sterren had, maar zo klein, werd elke poging een bloempje. Dan hielp mijn moeder een geniaal idee: aangezien het voor een meisje was, zou het toch ook schattig zijn met bloempjes; en gelijk had ze, zoals gewoonlijk :-)
