Easy Crochet Slippers

This pair of slippers were easy and quick to make.  I made a few alterations to the original pattern for Easy One Piece Slippers designed by Terri Kroupa but only for decorative purposes.  The pattern is well written and simple to follow.  It filled me with joy to see how happy Mom was when I put them on her feet!

I added back post stitches in the second to last row - only three, centered, every other stitch, and in the last row every three stitches and every other stitch (in the previous row bpdc) in the center.

These are easy for Mom to get on her feet (she has Parkinson's Disease)

I added a pretty but simple flower to the heel so she'd have a little extra to grab, to pull the slipper onto her foot.


Results?  She's thrilled with them.  The only disappointment is having to wait for the Plasti-Dip to dry on the soles so these aren't slippery for Mom.  I purchased the Plasti-Dip at The Home Depot for a little over $6.00 and the only option I saw was the product in black.  I just visited the web site and read that it is also available as a spray on application and also comes in other colours, as well as CLEAR!  YAY!  This is great news for us crocheters!  I'm thinking it could be used on the underside of crocheted area rugs, especially now that I know it comes in a clear solution so the product won't show through the little holes in things we crochet.  YAY!
