Adult Bootie for LoomClass

s; I made two pairs of slippers. This first pair follows the pattern as posted. They are finished off with a crocheted ruffle and a pompom. The recipient chose the colors, although when she saw them she said she needs a clown suit to wear with them. The lightest color is a soft yellow.

I saw this variation in Jo Ann's Project 150 photo album. She calls it her EZ Slipper. When I asked for directions, she suggested I wrap 22 pegs so the slipper would stop at the ankle. I just continued to knit the 22 pegs until I got to the row where the top is shaped. Other than that, I followed the original pattern. These are finished with a row of single crochet and a pompom made from all three colors in the slippers.

Thanks for sharing the pattern, Jo Ann. With the 1 over 2 stitch, these slippers should last longer than my others have.

Scuffie Slippers

When I got tired of making hats, I tried the slippers at http://www.yarngear.com/. They were easy to make and a good way to learn to do heels. My sister has worn out hers already just wearing them around my house when she comes over to play cards. Kansas had these slippers posted on her blog and I liked the fun fur she added around the cuff. The pattern came from http://www.loomknittingdesigns.com/ . The slippers are easy to make on the blue loom. The only change I made was to do them toe-up. I'm hoping these will last my sister a little longer because they're made with Thick 'n' Quick yarn. She was pretty excited when she saw them.
