How to Crochet Home Slippers
Do you know how to knit? Let's try to make home slippers with our own hands. For this we need: leather or thick fabric on the insoles and soles, thick threads, a suitable size hook, scissors and beads or ribbons for decoration.
First, we need to determine the size of the proposed product. Take summer shoes or old slippers that sit comfortably on your foot and circle the sole on paper. This will be our sample slippers. Crochet or knit the finished pattern on the sole. Crocheting is a lot easier, since you can easily adjust the narrowing and expansion of the product.
Secondly, tie a sole around the edge with a single crochet so that this row and all subsequent ones are located at an angle of 90 degrees to the sole. Tie it up until the depth of the slipper is comfortable when trying on it. Usually it is four to five centimeters.
Next, you need to connect the part that will be located above the fingers. This part will be irregular in shape: on the one hand it is straight and on the other hand it is semicircular. Each determines her size individually, based on how wide the leg is, or simply out of a desire to get comfortable shoes.
How to decorate slippers?
We combine all the details, and now the fun begins - slippers need to be decorated. What will you do? Homemade or romantic slippers in ethnic style or reminiscent of rustic bast shoes? Unleash your imagination!
If you are a romantic person, then you can make flowers from ribbons or braid, and then sew the resulting roses and leaves in any order or according to the selected pattern. And you can embroider slippers with ribbons. This direction of needlework is very actively gaining more and more fans in its ranks. The result looks very impressive, and the process itself takes only a few minutes!
If you have scraps of leather at home, you can decorate our slippers like Native American moccasins with leather flowers or stripes. Look for suitable motives - and you can experiment!
You can embroider slippers with beads, coins or just embroider flowers from thick threads. And if you want, you can sew ears from the fabric, embroider the face - and you get a cool hare or a sad dog ...
It all depends on your mood at the moment. That's what slippers are good at home. With your own hands you can make any kind of jewelry for them and give things a unique flavor and extravagance!
