Ballerina Tutu & Slippers for CPK

mummycrochet · #1 February 22, 2009, 05:03 AM

This is my 1st ever attempt at writing up a pattern. Please let me know if you find any mistakes.

PLEASE don't sell my pattern as your own, I'm not fussed about what you do with what you make, they are yours to do with what you want, but the pattern was designed by me, and I would like it to stay that way. Thanks

Finishing

Sc around armholes, neck, back and leg holes, remembering to make a loop for the button on the back.

Sew button on back.

Weave in ends.

**NOTE: I didn’t add a button and buttonhole, as kids can find them troublesome. I joined my straps to the 2nd stitch from the end, instead of the 4th, and mine stays on just fine. But the button and buttonhole definitely look better. ;-)

Slippers (make 2)

Make ring of choice, ch2
1: 8 dc into ring, ch2, turn (8)
2: 2 dc in each dc, ch2, turn (16)
3: 2 dc in each dc ch2, turn(32)

5: Dc in each dc, join with slst, ch2, turn,
6: Dc in each dc, join with a slst, ch1, turn
7: Sc in each dc, join with slst, end off

Straps Contrast Colour
The straps are joined to the slipper halfway through making the chain

Make chain (tightly) as long as you want it to be (depends on how many times you want to wrap it around the leg), 3 sc in 3 st at the back of slipper to join, make same amount of chains again. End off.
