These crochet slipper boots where one of those projects that I didn’t expect much from, I was just playing around with a new design idea and viola! Very cute and comfy slipper boots.
I think these will be very popular as the design has already been copied and dare I say, stolen several times. Luckily I’m happy to share, so here’s a free written pattern and video tutorial for you guys 🙂

Guess it just depends on the person. Personally I can follow written instructions better than any video. Thank you for these directions,

It most certainly does depend on the person. I have friends that only read patters or only watch videos. I personally can't listen to any directions so I design my own lol. You're very welcome Lois, thanks for the comment and your support.

Written pattern was bad to figure out what you were doing I would not have got this pattern of the scales if you didn't have the pictures.

I agree, it was one of my early patterns. I was just learning about patterns and my English wasn't what it is now. I'm always trying to improve. At least it was free.
