turkish slippers - do i really have to unravel the whole thing??
Well, after seeing a dozen people create the turkish slippers out of the book "simple crochet" i decided i had to do it myself. i am a SUPER beginner, so this is an amazing feat of talent to complete one whole slipper. and it looks fab. except that i increased the rounds too slowly for my foot (i have wide feet) so i have a two inch long point at the front of my toe. which looks horrible, trust me.
can i just chop out the first round and unravel a bit and essentially "backwards crochet"?? is that possible? or... do I really have to unravel the WHOLE THING???
any suggestions?! HELP!

Yikes! You poor thing. I have no idea but have wanted to do the exact same thing on several occasions but never had the guts to do it, I guess a big problem would be knowing where you are as far as the stitches, but then again you could just sort of free form it if you want. good luck

You made me smile with your experience on the slipper. I have been crocheting for 17 years or more and I still struggle with a pattern the first time I make it.
But in my experience I have had occassion to rip out a few rows after I finished an item. It can be done. Carefully. I usually end up snipping the first stitch with scissors to get the unraveling started. And when I'm done ripping back (unraveling) I simply fasten off as usual.
Hope this helps.
