Slipper Boots
Slipper Boots is the first book in the Easy Weekend Crochet series. These crocheted slippers are quick and easy projects that you can complete in a weekend or less. Slipper boots keep your feet warm and toasty and are perfect for lounging and snuggling. Crochet these comfy cozy boots for yourself or as a gift for someone special.
The slipper boots are crocheted from the top down using basic crochet stitches. Separate instructions are given for the cuffs so you can easily make them shorter or taller and customize the color. Bulky yarns and large hooks are used which makes the slippers quick to make. You should already know basic crochet stitches, how to read patterns, and whip stitch crochet together. I have included instruc-tions for stitches you may not be familiar with and explain how to place markers. The patterns include six different styles of slipper boots for children and adults in eight sizes.

Self proclaimed expert in cozy footwear
This is going to sound a little silly, but I am somewhat of an expert in slippers. I have a rare genetic disorder that causes severe joint damage and as a result I am unable to wear normal shoes. Thankfully I am a wheelchair user and an avid crocheter so I just wear handmade slippers all of the time. I am still vain enough that I want them to match and look cute so I have dozens that I have made in the past few years. Finding a good pattern is hard than it seems, because although many of them are fun, novelty items they might not be very practical to wear all day. I love that this gives a basic boot pattern that even a beginner could follow and then expands on it with increasingly challenging additions to the cuffs. One of the problems I have with more intricate patterns is that they are too annoying to do multiple times. With this simple pattern, it is quick and easy to whip up a pair for all of your friends. I also appreciate the section on making non skid soles. This is certainly enough protection for indoors. However, when I make a pair of shoes for an able bodied person, I often add a layer of foam to the sole so it can be worn outside briefly.
