<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nHello, friends!<\/p>\n
I have been wanting a new slipper for a while. I kept putting it off because I couldn’t think of anything that didn’t start exactly like my Mary Janes<\/a>. I knew I wanted something bold, but timeless. <\/p>\n I had the idea for a wrap shoe, but I was stuck on the same sort of construction as the Mary Janes (from the toe to heel). I knew FOR SURE I wanted something that was crocheted in one piece. <\/p>\n I picked up some yarn and started with the toe and made some interesting shaping, but once I got to the sole I realized it was way too similar to the MJs. I frogged it and started over. <\/p>\n This time, I started at the heel! Working back and forth across some stitches, I shaped the heel a bit, then crocheted a sole for a few more rows. When I got toward the toe, the fun began! Using a combination of increases and eventually some decreases, I ended up shaping a wrapped toe. <\/p>\n I wasn’t in love.<\/i> There is my confession. It looked OK after I seamed it up, but I was kind of meh<\/i> about it. I thought about it for a day and then started another pair. After I finished the first, I made the quick decision to seam up the second one with the wrap going in the opposite direction. Aha! That’s what was missing.<\/p>\n I was in love.<\/i><\/p>\n And now I want to share it with you! Visit the pattern page HERE<\/a>. It’s FREE<\/font> and there are even some photos to help guide you during the assembly. Truly, it’s the only tricky part. I would suggest crocheting both slippers first, then sitting down to assemble them. I used Vanna’s Choice because it comes in such a great assortment of colors and tends to hold up really well. <\/p>\n Let me know what you think! Add your project to the Ravelry page<\/a> so I can see your slippers!<\/p>\nPin It<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, friends!<\/p>\n I have been wanting a new slipper for a while.
