hello lisa,
i’m a small newbie in knitting – i’m currently only making scarfs (and i’ve made plenty of them)
i was feeling ready to move on to something more appealing :)
a friend linked me your mary jane slippers and asked me for one (hihi)
and i feel a bit lost
how do you start this circle?
i reallise the mechanics of making it close like a snail, but how do you knit it?
if it’s not way too borring and time-consuming for you,
could you help me out with some details, or pictures, or even a site with paterns i could use for this…?
if not, i totally get it,
so thanks anyways,
Marianne.
Hello Marianne!
You’re trying to convert the pattern to knitting, correct?
It might be kind of difficult, because the best thing, I think, would be to start them like socks (toe-up patterns), then switch to back and forth knitting until the end of the heel. Then, you’d have to cast-on stitches around the opening and blah blah blah.
Instead! I will link you to this knit Mary Jane pattern: http://www.purlbee.com/mary-jane-slippers/ They’re constructed a bit differently, but they’re kind of like baby booties on a bigger scale, so I think they’d be simple and open up a new type of pattern to you. Plus, they also provide photos for the steps, so you can follow along to make sure you’re doing things correctly.
I hope you like the look of them. I think they’re just as pretty!
Hi Lisa! I was just wondering if you could lead me to some other easy crocheting websites. I’m 10 and I can’t do anything harder than those Mary-Jane Slippers, a flower, a granny square scarf and a hat.
But only if you have time. Thanks!!
I just wanted to thank you for your mary jane slipper pattern. I love them and have made myself 5 pairs. I wanted to double check, you stated that its okay to sell the things made using your patterns. A friend requested to buy a pair and I didn’t want to do it without your pattern. Thank you again for the beautiful slipper pattern!
Hi Lisa, I love love love your beanies (especially the teal-with yellow-pompom one). Would you mind posting the pattern for those?
Marianne and Lisa,
I have to laugh. I’ve been scouring the internet for a Mary Jane knitting pattern (I taught myself to knit last year). I finally found one I liked and knit two slippers (each a little different trying to get a better fit). It took me a while to realize that learning to crochet was just an easier and much quicker way to do it. It took me at least a week to knit that pattern. This Mary Jane slipper pattern is the first crocheting I’ve done and I finished a slipper in 1 day!!! If I hadn’t been so stubborn I’d have had new slippers last winter! Anyway, YouTube has a great video on starting that circle. It’s by bethintx1 and is called Back to Basics Crochet: Make a flat circle with double crochet. Thank you Lisa for the pattern.
I recently purchased a magazine – Craft Sanity I think was the name – and found a doily/blanket/shawl made by you. Thank you so much for sharing the pattern along with a couple beautiful pictures. I have decided to make this for my family’s gift exchange this year. I can’t wait to play our game and see how many times this gifts gets “stolen” from each member. I have a feeling it will be the hit of the game/exchange this year. It’s beautiful and functional at the same time and I used a soft yarn in shades of variegated soft blue, sage green and cream. It’s turning out just great and I appreciate your pattern instructions being so clear and easy to follow. It looked rather intimidating at first, but ended up being much easier than I dreamed. You are an amazing designer and I LOVE your patterns. Thanks for sharing this one for free in the magazine.
Thank you so much for sharing your Mary Jane slipper pattern.I just finished my first pair and fully plan to make several more!
Hi! I had a question for you. I noticed your fall lace garland post a while back (Sept. 2011) and I keep thinking about it wondering if there is any way to make those connected to make a valance for my kitchen window. I am on my 4th doily afghan (yay!) and am loving crochet. Your patterns are so pretty. I like the pineapples you do the best and was wondering if you ever did a pattern like that – I would love to purchase it! I don’t know how to make what I am trying to describe but would love a crochet valance for my kitchen window with your lacey pineapples… any thoughts? :O) Bari Jo
