Crystal socks from DROPS

Replace the first sc in the row with 1 ch. Finish the row with 1 sl st in the ch.

Decreasing

Make 1 sc without the last pull-through (= 2 loops on the hook), make the next sc and pull through all loops on the hook = decrease 1 sc.

Decreasing

Crochet in the round from the toe towards the heel until the rise, then crochet alternating RS and WS.

Chain 4 and form a ring with 1 sl st in the first ch.

1st row: crochet 6-6-5 sc in the ring.

2nd row: make 2 sc in each sc = 12-12-10 sc

3rd row (and all subsequent odd rows): 1 sc in each sc

4th row: * 1 sc in the first sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* a total of 6-6-5 times = 18-18-15 sc.

6th row: * 1 sc in the first 2 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 6-6-5 times = 24-24-20 sc.

8th row: * 1 sc in the first 3 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 6-6-5 times = 30-30-25 sc.

10th row: * 1 sc in the first 4 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 6-6-5 times = 36-36-30 sc. Then continue crocheting for sizes 38/40 — 41/43

12th row: * 1 sc in the first 5 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 6-5 times = 42-35 sc. Then continue crocheting for size 41/43

14th row: * 1 sc in the first 6 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 5 times = 40 sc.

16th row: * 1 sc in the first 7 sc, 2 sc in the next sc *, repeat *-* 5 times = 45 sc.

For all sizes

= 36-42-45 sc. Crochet in the round with 1 sc in each sc. until 14-16-18 cm. Then crochet sc in the first 24-30-32 sts, alternating RS and WS. Once reaching 20-22-25 cm, place a marker in the middle (= 12-15-16 sc on both sides of the marker). In the next row, decrease by 1 sc before and after the marker. Crochet 1 row without decreases. Repeat the decrease in the next row = 20-26-28 sts. Crochet 1 row without decreases. Fold in half, sew the heel.

Edge

Finish the open edge, starting from the middle of the heel: 1 sc in the first st, * 1 ch, skip ~ 0.5 cm, 1 sc in the next st. *, repeat *-* until the end, finish with 1 sl st in the first sc.

Loop with button

Chain 6. Make 1 sc in the second ch from the hook, then 1 sc in each of the next 4 ch = 5 sc in the row. Then crochet sc, alternating RS and WS. Make a strap 15-16-17 cm long. Secure the strap on the slipper, sew on the button.
