Fold the shoe in half and sew along the sole of the shoe and the back. Make sure that when you are sewing the second shoe that strap is on the opposite side as your first shoe, or you may end up with two left shoes. Sew a button on to the side of the shoe to secure the strap. Try it on your doll and make a matching purse if desired.

Christmas slippers…




with Two Strands of Red yarn and a 5.5 mm hook


Row 1: Ch 5, 2sc in 2nd ch from hook , hdc in next 2, 5 hdc in last ch, hdc in next 2, 3 more sc in beginning stitch.

Row 2: Hdc around the edge being very generous in your increases to keep the sole flat. Join and break off red yarn.

Uppers… given the style of the slippers, select a stitch to start in and work FPsc around the toe area. Ch1 and turn. I had 15 stitches for mine.

Row 2 : hdc in each FPsc, ch 9 (forms heel strap so make it as long or short as you need) and join to beginning hdc.

Row 3: hdc in 1st. hdc to end, sl st into 1st ch of strap. Secure and break off yarn.

Pink slippers.







These were made a bit larger than my usual shoe pattern so that they would look more slipper like. Note that you start and end in the heel section.

Row 3: flip sole good side down and work FPsc into every stitch. Ch1 and turn

Row 4: hdc around the fpsc and work a decrease on each side of the heel. I also worked one decrease in the instep area just to make it more likely to stay on.
