I'm sorry I don't have a picture to post. My camera is refusing to cooperate with me and upload the pictures. I'm going to be buying new batteries for it soon and hopefully that will resolve the issue.

For now, the pattern is a simple one. And if you have a granny square handy, just fold it in half and you will see what the pattern will look like.

What I'm making is a slipper pattern. If you measure a person's foot, what you do is crochet a granny square until it fits the length of the person's foot. Once you reach that length, you fold the granny square in half. You stitch up both short ends which will make the heel and the toe. Then you stitch up a part from the toe going toward the heel, REMEMBERING to leave a wide enough opening for the foot to enter the slipper.
For warm slippers, make 2 granny squares and crochet them together before folding in half and sewing up the slipper way. For a lighter slipper, use just one granny square for each slipper.
This is an easy and quick to make pattern, that is especially good for beginner crocheters and one I teach to people learning to crochet.
When my camera decides to work, I'll get a picture uploaded of one of my patterns.
Enjoy.

Crochet hook size 6.5mm.
Number of balls of yarn depends on how many colours you want to use to make your slipper. One ball of yarn will make one large slipper or two small slippers. If you are making 2 granny squares for each slipper, you will need to double the yarn amount.
Usually, 2 balls of one colour will make the number of granny squares despite if you slippers are light or heavy.
A darning needly or use your crochet hook for darning ends in.
A good sense of humour and an aire of excitement.

Depends on the size of the foot you are making. It will usually work out to fit the size of the foot within mm.

Again, that depends on the hook you are using and the type of yarn. I find that 3 dc is about 1-1 1/2".

Comfy, warm and easy to make, whip up a pair in about 2 hours.

Simple.
Beginning:
With your crochet hook, chain 5. Join with a sl st in the first chain to form a ring.
Round 1:
Chain 3. In ring, make 2 dc, chain 3; {3 dc, chain 3}. Do {} 2 times more. Join with a sl st to top of beg ch 3.
Round 2:
Sl st in next 2 dc.
*In ch 3 space, ch 3, 2 dc, ch 3, 3 dc. Ch 2.* Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Join with sl st to top of beg. ch. 3.

Continue to make rounds using the method of having 3 dc in each ch 3 space and each ch 2 space. You basically make your granny square until it is the size needed to fit the foot.

If you are making 2 granny squares for each slipper, once you have reached the length needed, fasten off and SC the 2 granny squares together, with right sides facing out.

Whichever slipper you are making, fold in half and sew/slip stitch up the heel and toe area. Working from the toe back, sl.st. until you have enough of an opening left to insert foot into. Remember if the foot is large, to leave an opening large enough for the foot to fit into or you will be un doing some work and redoing it!

Turn your work, inside out, or leave as is if you wish, and put on foot for comfort.

A final note, it is best to work ends in as you go along. It is also best to use a soft yarn for this because many people have sensitive feet. This is a good pattern for all ages and everybody likes warm feet, not cold feet. Enjoy, crochet and be creative.

I changed the yarn type.

RND 1: (right side), with Black ch 4, join to form ring, Ch 3, 11 dc in ring, sl st to join in top of beg ch-3. (12 dc's).

I love how Tilli Tomas Mogul yarn, which is pre-strung with glass beads, feels cool and smooth to the touch, soft and warm to wear. It’s the perfect way to dress up for a cold night. This scarf duo—a cravat and a corkscrew lariat can be worn apart or together—so you really get three looks from not much more than an evening of crocheting. To wear the two together, twist the corkscrew around the cravat, and fluff it a bit after you put it on, so both the ruffles and the lace fabric shows.

• 1-2 skeins Tilli Tomas Mogul (100% Australian merino wool; 80 yds/100 g; CYCA#4 medium): color Parchment (both scarves took a total of 1 ½ skeins of yarn)
• Big thanks to Dreamweaver Yarns for generously supplying the yarn for this project!
• You could substitute any worsted weight yarn. If you use a plain yarn, try working it together with a strand of carry-along yarn that’s metallic or glitzy—the thin strand won’t change your gauge, it will just add sparkle.

Special Stitches

V-st: (Dc, ch 1, dc) all in same chain or stitch.

I have two kids with lots of little things that need to be organized. I made a trip to the craft store for some baskets and I needed medical attention after seeing the prices stores were charging for plain, boring baskets. So, I decided to come up with some on my own using some scrap yarn from my stash. I added the fun fur to make them, well, fun for my kids to use.

Though the instructions given are for a set that would be appropriate for holding changing table supplies, I’ve made these in various sizes from change holders (3x1 inches) to Lego holders (8x10 inches). To change the size, simply adjust the number of rows on the bottom and sides. These will work with any type of worsted weight yarn and fun fur combo. Just make sure that the hook is several sizes smaller than recommended on the label on the worsted weight yarn. This will ensure that the basket is stiff enough to hold the contents.

• 1 skein fun fur/eyelash yarn. Example used Stylecraft Eskimo (50g, 98yds/90m) in ParmaViolet, 1 skein.
• 1 skein 4-ply light worsted weight yarn that matches at least one of the colors in the fun fur. Example used Caron Simply Soft (6oz, 330yds/302m) in Lt. Country Blue, less than 1 skein.
• size D-3 hook
• size C-2 hook
• Stitch marker or a piece of scrap yarn in contrasting color

The gauge is unimportant as long as you work as tightly as you can without damaging the yarn. The tighter you can make it, the sturdier the container will be.

While this pattern is not technically difficult, the fact that you are using a hook that is too small for the yarn will probably result in sore fingers. If this is a problem, work on it a little bit at a time, or wrap the “grip” section of your hook in several layers of tape to make it wider and softer on your fingers. (Ed. note: We wrote about a nifty grip in the blog a few months back.)
