My sister LOVES owls. I sewed her an owl apron for Christmas and when she told me she was looking for a new pair of slippers, I decided to make her a pair of owl ones!
I didn't have a pattern to follow so I just "winged" it. I wrote the pattern down as I made one of the slippers so that I can make the other without trying to remember what I did. So here it is!

What size of shoe would this pattern make?
ReplyDelete8.5 :)
DeleteGood idea for our church Xmas Bazaar. This is a community fundraiser for ten local non-profits. I will even put tags on the slippers I make. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCan it be made for a three year old?
ReplyDeleteYou could adjust this pattern to a smaller slipper.. for a 3 year old, I would start with narrowing and shortening the tube portion.. maybe in round 2, instead of 2 dc in each st, try (1dc, 2dc) repeat around to make a total of 15 dc. Then 2-3 rounds of dc around (15dc). And maybe 2 rows of the heel portion (10 dc) and reduce in the last 2 rows. You will have to play around with it.
Deletewouldn't it be 24 stitches on row 2 if you 2 dc in each stitch
ReplyDeleteI count the ch-2 in the beginning of rounds as 1 dc..
DeleteSuper cute...I want to make for 10 year old granddaughter. How do I adjust for smaller size?
ReplyDeletethank you
Try reducing the number of stitches in round 23 from 30dc to 20dc, 22dc, or 24dc.. and then reduce the number of rows in rounds 7-11. How many rows depends on the length of the foot. Hope this helps.
