Repeat as rounds 7-8 until you have 7 complete cables, ending with a round 8 repeat.
Cut yarn. Fasten off. Your piece should look like in the picture below (top and bottom view):
Note: You can adjust the lenght of the piece (making more/less round of cables) until it fits your foot as in the picture below:
Start working in rows:
Row 1 (right side): Counting from right to left on the last round you made, join yarn with a standing fpdc around the 7th fpdc of the cable;
1 fpdc around next fpdc, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 bpdc, 1 fpdc around each of next 18 fpdc (be careful to not work around the ch2 in the middle of the foot), 1 bpdc around each of next 5 bpdc, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 fpdc; ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Row 2 (wrong side) : 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of the next 18 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of 2sts, ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Row 3 (right side): ch2, 1 fpdc around next 2 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 18 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 sts; ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Repeat as rows 2-3, until you have 23 ridges beginning with the first cable round, ending with a row 2 repeat on wrong side.
(Or adjust the lenght making more/ less rows until the slippers is 1 inch shorter as your leg. )
Shaping the Heel with Decreases:
You wil crochet 2 rows with decreases in the middle of the piece. Each decrease row you will decrease 4 sts.
Row 1: On right side: ch2, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1dec-fpdc × 4 times, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc round each of next 2 sts. (28 sts)
Row 2: On wrong side: ch2, 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 3 sts, 1 dec-bpdc × 4 times, 1 bpdc around each of next 3 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts. ( 24 sts)
Cut yarn leaving a long tail that will be used to sew the sides together.
Seaming the Heel:
Thread yarn needle with the long tail. Holding the piece on the right sides so that the sts on the edge of each side align themself. We will seam around the post of the sts on each side, not into top of the sts. This way the seam will be almost invisible, imitating the front post sts.
Seam the sides at heel inserting the needle around the post of the stitches on each side this way:
- for the front post sts part: insert needle from front to back around the post of the sts on both sides
- for back post sts part: insert needle from back to front around the sts of the side nearest to you and from front to back around the sts of the other side.
Seam any holes created by the decrease sts. Cut yarn. Fasten off.
Make another slipper the same way.
Do you think i can use the pattern for making mittens cause i made the hat it would be great
ReplyDeleteHi Melg! I think that you could use the pattern for mittens. They will be some very thick mittens. :)

ReplyDeleteSure, but they would have holes near the cables.
DeleteI want to print this, but don't see that option?
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, Using a PC, take a look at the sharing buttons below the pattern! If you click on the right green sharing button, you will have more sharing options. Between them is "Print Friendly". Click on that and it will transform the pattern into pdf or you can print it out. If you select the unwanted images/text you can delete them and only print what you need.
DeleteI hope this helps!
