Create animal slippers for the whole family, with this cute collection
of patterns from leading crochet designer Ira Rott. First choose your
slipper type - slide, shoe or boot - then choose your size, and finally
choose one of 20 different animal designs.
This adorable book will have you reaching for your hook and crocheting
the most appropriate animals for your tribe. Why not try the elephants
for grandpa (who sometimes forgets), the pandas for mum (whose mascara
always runs) and the bears for the little one who loves warm hugs...
there are options to delight them all and keep you in handmade gifts to
give for years!
Ira Rott is well known for her gorgeous animal designs and her
easy-to-follow crochet patterns, which include step-by-step photographs
for any fiddly parts, and crochet charts alongside the written patterns.
She expertly guides you through making three different kinds of crochet
slippers - shoes with covered heels, boots with ankle cuffs, and slides
which are backless slippers.
Knowing what size to make is made easy thanks to a clever measuring
chart at the front of the book. Simply open the flap, put your foot on
the measuring gauge and instantly see what size you need. In the book
are useful tables that show how much yarn and what size hook you will
need for each size. Complete step-by-step instructions and charts then
show you how to master each slipper type, with templates for adding
non-slip soles to your crochet slippers too.
Once you've mastered the slipper-making, the fun begins in creating your
crochet animal designs. Choose from: the Snuggly Pug, the Cuddly Bear,
the Happy Penguin, the Zingy Dinosaur, the Starry Unicorn, the Rock 'n'
Roll Panda, the Sleepy Koala, the Mossy Sloth. the Graceful Elephant,
the Playful Pig, the Mischievous Raccoon, the Cheeky Monkey, the Woolly
Sheep, the Sandy Turtle, the Sassy Cat, the Hippie Llama, the Brave
Moose, the Artful Fox, the Friendly Cow and the Roaring Lion. But that's
not all - Ira also shows you how you can mix and match patterns to
create all sorts of new animals too. Add the unicorn horn to the cat for
a cute uni-kitty, and mix the dinosaur and the penguin to create a wise
owl - once you've discovered that you can customize your crochet
slippers you'll be able to create unlimited options!
