I'm amazed how neat they make this multi color granny slippers. I've always admired the workmanship of these crochet slippers, you thought they were molded from shoe lasts.

I clicked on these because it said super easy. They are so cute. Reading the instructions, they are not easy to me, and not sure how to be able to make them for a ladies size 10. Does anyone have a similar easier pattern they could share using granny squares?

I"m working on these slippers and they are not all that easy. I am an experienced crocheter too....I love the look of them, but I found several areas of the pattern confusing. I am not sure what to do about the soles.

Hi there, as the reader below indicated, the ladies show is meant to fit a siz 6, so you will want to make the squares almost twice the size. Hope this helps, thanks!

I made the ladies version of these not knowing they were too small (about a size 6 ). I wear a 7 1/2. I made several modifications. I added length at the toes, made extra insoles with afghan stitch for more cushion and warmth and I even made "chain" shoelaces. They are super warm & comfy.

This was a great little project. I made a pair for my neighbor and her daughter. They absolutely loved them. It only took me about 7 hours to do both of them. I do have to say that I did not use the sole instuctions with this pattern, as it just was not working for me after several attemps. I used a different sole pattern for them. They both turned out really cute and warm!!! Thhank you for this pattern.

Hi, treks1. If you have a specific question about the pattern, your best bet is to contact the designer directly, specified in the byline. You might also try posting the question on our site's Facebook page, and perhaps a fellow crocheter might be able to help: www.facebook.com/favecrafts Here is a link to some tutorial videos on attaching granny squares on the YouTube channel for our sister site AllFreeCrochet: http://www.youtube.com/user/AllFreeCrochet/search?query=attach+granny+squares Good luck! --Editors of FaveCrafts

I also wanted to say that if there is anyone out there that has mastered these slippers, have you written up an easier pattern for these. If so could you send me the pattern I am eager to make these, they look so comfy. Thanks and happy holidays to all.

Is there a site with pictures of how to attach the sole? Or a site with a more step by step instructions. I have made granny square afghans but thats it and I really want to learn how to make these slippers but the instructions above are a litttle confusing to me.

I've made these before and they are fun. Someone ask how to follow a pattern. The best way I've found is to use a sticky note to keep your placeand move it as you go. marthaclark39@gmail.com

I made a pair of these and really like them, but I had to fudge a lot. The directions for making the sole were not clear. And it was confusing to have to go to the child's size pattern for some of the rows. It would be better to just include the directions in the adult pattern. Nice slippers, though!

I love these slippers. But how do you get 80 stitches on the first round of the sole? This doesn't compute.

I made several pairs of these and while I crochet a little big, I found that I was happy with it, I could wear a thick sock and have extra warmth. I really hate it when my feet are cold. Good pattern

I love these slippers. They are really nice and I'm in the process of making them. On the lady's version at the end of 4th round, it says "1 sc in each of last 5 sts. I only have 3 remaining stitches. Should it read 3 sts instead of 5? Thanks Diane
