Round by Round Stitching Instructions for Tall Crochet Slippers Pattern:

Toe and Sole Section

Toe:

• Round 1: Using Color A and N (10 mm) hook, make a magic circle. Work 6 sc into the circle. Pull tight and sl st to join. (6 sts)
• Round 2: Inc in each st around. Work 2 sc in each st. (12 sts)
• Round 3: Work 1 sc, inc in the next st. Repeat this pattern around. (18 sts)
• Round 4: Work 2 sc, inc in the next st. Repeat this pattern around. (24 sts)
• Round 5 (Small): Work 3 sc, inc in the next st. Repeat this pattern around. (30 sts)
• Round 5 (Large): Work 3 sc, inc in the next st. Repeat this around. Then sc evenly in the next 6 sts. (36 sts)
• Rounds 6–7: Sc in each st around, working evenly.
• Round 8: Begin shaping the toe curve. Work sc in the first 10 sts, then dec 5 times (sc2tog), and sc in the remaining sts.
• Round 9: Sc around, ensuring the edge is smooth. Add 1–2 sc if needed to correct uneven edges.

Sole:

• Round 10: Switch to L (8 mm) hook. Work sc evenly around, adding 2–4 increases (2 sc in 1 st) on the sides to widen the sole for comfort.
• Rounds 11–14 (Small): Sc in each st around for 4 rounds.
• Rounds 11–16 (Large): Sc in each st around for 6 rounds.

The sole should now measure the appropriate length for the selected size. Adjust the number of rounds if necessary for a snug fit.

Upper Ankle Section

Switch to K (6.5 mm) hook and Color B.

• Round 15 (Small) / Round 17 (Large): Begin the upper section with a lace-like texture. Work in the pattern [sc, ch1, sk next st] around. End with a sl st to join.
• Rounds 16–20 (Small) / Rounds 18–24 (Large): Repeat the [sc, ch1, sk next st] pattern, ensuring you work into the ch1 spaces of the previous row. This creates a breathable and stretchy design.

Cuff Section

Switch to Color C and continue with the K (6.5 mm) hook.

• Round 21 (Small) / Round 25 (Large): Work sc evenly in each st around, making sure the stitches are not too tight for comfort.
• Rounds 22–24 (Small) / Rounds 26–28 (Large): Continue working sc around, keeping an even tension. For extra height, add more rounds as desired.

Pom-Poms (Optional):

• Use a pom-pom maker or a small piece of cardboard to create 2 pom-poms.
• Attach them to the sides of the cuffs or the top of the slipper using the tapestry needle.

Finishing:

• Weave in all ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave loose yarn tails into the wrong side of the work securely.
• Blocking (Optional): Lightly steam block the slippers to shape them perfectly.

Additional Tips:

• Custom Fit: If you need a wider sole, add 1–2 sc evenly on the sides during the sole section.
• Colors: For a unique look, experiment with striping or gradient yarns in the cuff and upper section.
