Little Christmas Slippies

I needed a quick little yarn gift, 
so I adapted a slipper pattern I had made myself 
and came up with some tiny little slippers.  
Perfect!  


This is for a pair of slippers that are 
4" long & approx. 2 1/4" at widest part of foot
using a size G hook.



Just like in socks/slippers, start a base row to fit your toe line.
You can adjust the amount of chains for your size needed.







Base Row (for toe line): Ch 3
(work in-round from now on)
1.) 2 sc's in 3rd ch of base row, 2 sc's in next ch, 5 sc's into 1st ch, 2 sc's in next, 3 sc's in next, sl st together.
2.) *sc in next 6 sc's, 3 sc's in next, * repeat again, sl st together.
Change color if desired & create the pattern you wish for the foot section in the next 8 rows.
3.) - 11.) sc around (18 sc total)
Change color if desired. (I changed to red)
To form heel area:
12.) - 18.) sc in next 9 sc's. Turn after each row. Sl St heel end together.
Change color. (I changed to pink)
19.) Hook into top of heel area and sc around. sl st together. Tie off & weave in end. 

You can continue on with a nice trim row, 
or make a pompom for the heel area, or continue on for a sock!   
The socks are perfect to tie one onto 
 the top of your gifts with a candy cane! 
 Or hung on the tree!
