Crochet slippers & a mini heart. Autumn is slowly making its appearance here in the northern part of Greece. The weather has changed getting more chilly everyday! So why not take care of these cold feet and prepare them for a little coziness? :) I actually love making crochet slippers; I must admit they make me feel so happy plus they give you an extra feeling of comfort and snug! :) I alos thought of making a little heart just for fun!
These slippers were made in an afternoon and are actually quite easy, suitable for beginners at crochet! I used 100% merino wool in pink and grey, and the feeling is super soft and cozy!

As I may have mentioned, I lost the pattern for this blanket years ago.
I swear that it was in an old "Crochet! " magazine, but I can't find it and the internet has failed me. So I inspected the pieces I made years ago and played a bit until I figured it out. My new pieces are still different, but that's because when I started this blanket I had no knowledge of the magic circle and my tension left a lot to be desired. Above is the "evolution of a granny square! " *Note: I found it easiest if I left a long tail at the beginning of each round as well as at the end so that I could really weave the ends in well with a yarn needle. Using worsted weight yarn in the color of your choice, make a magic ring. With worsted weight yarn in a second color, start with a standing stitch (a double crochet) in one of the stitches from the previous round. I mentioned that I am using the "join-as-you-go" method on this blanket.
