Ballet Slippers

This is not my first attempt at trying to crochet slippers or socks. But these slippers are my first success. I made not one but six pairs! You can download this free from www.craftsy.com or you can visit the designer Megan Denham at www.tampabaycrochet.blogspot.com.

I believe this pattern worked for me because of its simplicity plus you can make it into any size you want. Here I made for my son who is five and his cousins who are one and three years old. You can always add on embellishments to the slippers making them more attractive.

After putting on his new slippers, my son Ali, made a trial run. He was very happy sliding from slide to side. Then he got creative whereby he started to run and slide when he wants to stop. He almost hit the wall. I realised that I needed to sew leather sole to the slippers to prevent any mishap.

Apart from that, Megan's instructions were easy to understand and follow. I will definitely recommend this pattern to beginners who want to learn to crochet.
