Clog Slippers Pattern

Yay!  Another *boy* project. Well, actually it is unisex...  I know these would be really cute on girls, too!


A friend commissioned me to make some slippers for her son to wear around the house.  So, I came up with these.  They measure 7 inches in length and about 3 1/2 inches in width.  Obviously, these are much too big for my son, a 2 1/2 year old, with um, big feet. ;)

And they are really fast to make!  I finished a whole pair during an  hour and a half movie.

What you will need:
~ one skein of pumpkin colored yarn, rolled into two balls (or you could just buy two skeins of the same color)
~ a small amount of brown yarn
~ crochet hook - size I/9 5.50MM
~ crochet hook - size G/6 4.25MM
~ 2 buttons

Shoe:
With pumpkin colored yarn, I/9 hook and holding two strands together
Chain 4 (fig 1)
Connect with a slip stitch to form ring (fig 2)
Round 1: Chain 3 - this counts as first dc (fig 3), dc 11 times in ring. slip stitch to the top of the chain three to connect the round (fig 4) - 12 sts
Round 2: Chain 3, dc in same stitch, 2 dc in each dc around, slip stitch to the top of the chain three to connect the round (fig 5) - 24 sts
Round 3-7:, Chain 3, dc in each dc around, slip stitch to the top of the chain three to connect the round(fig 8)- 24 sts

UPDATE: Someone asked me a question about this part, so I did a video to explain this section.

Row 8:  turn, chain 3, dc in next 17 dc, leaving the remaining 7 stitches unworked (fig 7) - 17 stitches
Row 9 - 11: turn, chain 3, dc in next 17 dc (fig 8)
Finish off, leaving a 12 inch tail. (fig 9)
Using the long tail, close up the back with a whip stitch. Weave in tails (fig 10)
