Slippers may be made to any size; You customize the length of the sole with this pattern. Includes size chart in inches for US women's shoe sizes.

Crocheted using worsted weight yarn in colors of choice.
Uses a size f (3.75mm) hook.

Featuring hollanddesigns

I've know many crochet designer in my year at Etsy, but no one is talented like Lisa at hollanddesigns where you can find the most beautiful and sweet patterns for every taste and very affordable.
I just want one of each!

Let's know Lisa more in details:

I learned to crochet when I was 5 years old and grew up playing with balls of yarn and making gifts for family and friends. To this day I absolutely love going to the yarn shop; it makes me giddy!

I began to design "officially" in my early 20s and have published several baby afghan patterns in such magazines as Crochet World, Crochet Fantasy, Crochet Home & Holiday, plus a couple Annie's Attic publications.

I am originally from Wisconsin, but now live near Auckland, New Zealand. My husband is a Dutch/Kiwi, having been born in NZ, but having also lived in Holland for several years. We've been married 2 years and have a little baby girl, Holland Grace, who models many of my designs. I am now a stay-at-home mom and crochet/design in my spare time.

My blog, "The Life of a Crochet Designer" is viewable at

http://hollanddesigns.blogspot.com/

"She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands." (Prov 31:13)

She's also the amazing designer behind the slippers than I'm proud to sell in my shops.
So, don't waste any more time, go check her shop out! If you're a crocheter you'll enjoy making her patterns and if you're not a crocheter...well, you might ask Lisa to sell you a finished product or she will refer you to somebody that can accommodate you!
