Ladies' Crocheted Bedroom SlippersMaterials required for these crocheted bedroom slippers: Two balls Pearl Crochet Cotton, No.3; 1 Steel Crochet Hook, No.5; 1 pair Pearl Quilted Satin Soles; 1 1/2 yards No.7 Ribbon for Bows.Explanation of terms and abbreviations used: ch. st. — Chain Stitch; s. c. — Single Crochet; d. c. — Double Crochet; tr. c. — Treble Crochet; h. t. c. — Half-Treble Crochet; 1. tr. c. — Long Treble Crochet; o. — over; p. — Picot; sl. st. — Slip Stitch; l. — Loop.
Make a chain of 16 stitches, as shown in the figure below, which will allow you 1 stitch for turning.1st row — One s. c. stitch in every stitch, 1 chain and turn. 2d row — One s. c. in each of 7 stitches (taking up the back stitch; you will then have formed 1 rib of vamp), 3 stitches in the 8th, 1 s. c. in each of 7 stitches, 1 chain and turn. Continue making 21 ribs, or 42 rows for vamp, increasing 2 extra stitches in center of each rib (or every other row). Turn over and around slipper.
This will make a neat joining and will not show on the outside; finish with cord around the turnover as follows: take up 1 stitch, chain 3, then take up next stitch, chain 3, cross the first 3 chain stitches over the last, and 1 s. c. next to the last 3 chain stitches just made. Continue in like manner all around. Use two threads in making the cord, first chain of 3 made with one thread second chain of 3 made with second thread, etc. Carefully sew the crocheted top to the satin soles of the correct size, and finish with a neatly made bow of Satin Ribbon on each slipper. These crocheted bedroom slippers may be made in many pretty shades. The following shades make especially beautiful slippers: Pongee, Blue, Brown, Lavender, Gray, Baby Blue, Tan, Red, Navy, Linen, Cream, Black, Deep Pink, and Green. In crocheting slippers do not take the stitches too loosely — a firm piece of work is needed to make a good slipper. Return to top of Crocheted Bedroom Slippers page. Return to Victorian Crafts page.
