Elfin Granny Slippers

I'm not talking about house shoes for a a little wee wizened old lady.  I'm not even talking about tiny slippers.  These slippers are big and they're loud and I like 'em.  A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned learning to crochet squares and my plan to crochet the granny square slippers I'd seen on Ravelry.

Are these really going to turn into slippers?

I finally finished them last night.  I think they are just too fun.  The pointy toes look a little like elf slippers.  What do you think?


Here are views of the side and the sole.  I decided to make the soles a little more durable/warmer, so I used a combination of single and double crochet rows instead of granny squares.


Ahh, time to sit back and admire the slippers -- while they are still free of Alfie hair!  (Maybe I should have made them the color of golden retriever . . .  .)

    Adorable is what I think about your slippers! I love the elf look with the pointy toes. I'm sure they'll keep your feet warm as toast on a cold day.

    I'm so glad you showed us those. They came out so cute! Clever use of granny squares. Great colors.

    As I'm catching up on reading the blog posts of yours I've been missing, I ask myself, "Why am I hungry all of a sudden?"

    You share the best recipes!
