Colorful crochet slippers, master class.

Author Tuula Maaria.
I love to use many colors! Little by little, I am learning to create combinations that seem very successful in my own eyes.
For these slippers, I used various leftover yarns. All of them contain at least 70% wool. Hook size 3.0 mm. My shoe size is 38 (5).
I am not writing a pattern, just giving some pointers.

Sole:
I started crocheting the sole from the middle, making a chain of 32 stitches and then crocheting around the middle long chain, increasing at both ends.


At the places where the markers are, I crocheted the extension of the sole.



One round of single crochet around the finished sole.

Another round. This way, the rest of the slipper will look more separate.






Crocheting the walls of the slipper.


Above the blue and green rows, crochet with a V-stitch. If you are not familiar with it, you can see the V-stitch chart below:

After that, I started to decrease the number of stitches in the part that goes over the toes. I didn’t count exactly how many, I just checked that the shape was right for my foot. The decreases are between two markers. In the rest of the slipper, the number of stitches remains unchanged.




The main part of the slipper is ready:





Flower:
Start with a chain of 4 stitches.

You can have any flower here, a small mandala, a piece of beautiful crochet. I chose this flower.

In the last round, a border with picots.




Done! If the slippers turn out to be too loose, you can insert a thin elastic band inside the top row.



P.S. I think insoles are necessary for the slippers for extra warmth.
