Crocheted Newborn Slipper Update

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello everyone!

 

I've gotten comments, emails, face to face convos, and smoke signals that some of you are having a difficult time with the crocheted newborn slippers.

 

Because I am a benevolent ruler (of this blog, anyway),

I've added some step-by-step pictures to the pattern

as well as instructions for making a HDCD (half double crochet decrease).

 

My guess is that many of you were not crocheting down the back of the chain in the first round so you were getting a big loop or tube instead of an oval for the sole.

 

I'm also guessing that some of you were doing a HDC (half double crochet) and not a HDCD (half double crochet decrease).

 

These are guesses as I can't really tell from your (some VERY detailed) descriptions.

So hopefully these pictures help! :)
