Slippers. Crochet pattern

I have so much left over T-shirt yarn or Recycled Cotton Yarn that I had to make these Slippers!

When I first started this Crochet Journey, I was making bags, rugs, baskets using Recycled Cotton Yarn. It was such a great feeling to make some cute stuff with a type of yarn which is 100% made from up cycled materials.

There is also funny story behind these slippers.

We are not using slippers around the house at all, so no slippers in our home :). But during Winter Holidays we had some friends coming over and I Knew it’s polite to have some slippers around the house, to make your guests feel more comfortable in case they want to use some.

Because around Christmas, everyone is buying slippers for gifts I think, I wasn’t able to find some proper sizes, so I have to get out my t-shirt yarn and make some pairs.

It was such a fun project, easy and fast and I said that this has to be shared.

So I really hope you will enjoy this pattern and you will try it. It’s perfect for beginners also so I encourage you to give it a try.
