Hi there, \r\n\r\nWhen I follow the pattern it all works out perfect for the left leg but not for the right leg. The strap for the right leg needs to be going the other way so both slippers looks the same. I\'m just not sure how to make it work. I have tried so many ways.... is there a chance you can take a look at it and hopefully able to fix it. Let me know. \r\n\r\nThanks
Bonjour, pouvez vous mettre vos explications en format PDF pour l'impression ? 3 fois que j'essaie de les avoir, et impossible d'imprimer une ligne, merci
Bonjour, pour la première taille nous sommes censées n'avoir besoin que de 200g de laine. J'ai beau avoir recommencé le modèle deux fois, il en manque toujours. Pour le tout dernier rang du modèle, celui où il faut crochet une ms puis six brides par arceaux, devons-nous crocheter les deux côté de la "languette" ou nous arrêter à la fin du tour qui entour le pied ? Cdt, CH
So I've gotten to the part about the strap and no matter how many times I've reworked the pattern the count doesn't add up. The pattern calls for 86 chain, then if you follow the pattern you should end up with 75. However, you always end up with 72 because of the first chain DC (DC into the 4th chain from the end) It takes up those three stitches to make the first dc. So in theory to fix this problem to make the count correct you need to chain 88.
I am so thrilled to see this pattern as I have searched for a long time for one just like this. thank you so much for finally bringing my search to a end there will be many happy feet come winter!
Very cute slippers!
