DROPS CROCHET HOOK size 4.5 mm/US 7 – or size needed to get 16 dc x 9 rows = 4'' x 4'' (10 x 10 cm).

CROCHET INFO:
Beg every round with dc with 3 ch and finish with 1 sl st in 3rd ch. Each row with dc starts with 3 ch(does not replace first dc).

RELIEF DC:
When working 1 relief dc, 1 relief dtr or 1 relief dtr it is to work around 1 st from previous round (do not work in loops but around the dc from the front).

RELIEF DC (WS):
Work 1 dc around 1 dc on previous row (i.e. do not work in loops but around dc) as follows: 1 YO on hook (the way as working 1 normal dc), insert hook on RS between 2 dc, up around dc, get the yarn, work the rest of dc as normal.

6 DTR CABLE:
Skip 5 relief dc, 1 relief dtr around next relief dc, 1 relief dtr around 5th and 4th st skipped, 1 relief dtr in first st skipped, 1 relief dtr in 2nd and 3rd st skipped.

DECREASE TIP:
Dec 1 dc by working 2 dc tog as follows: Work 1 dc but wait with last pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next dc but on last pull through, pull yarn through all 3 loops on hook.

PATTERN:
See diagram A.1.
----------------------------------------------------------

SLIPPERS:
Work in the round from toe towards heel.
Round beg mid under foot. Work 4 ch on hook size 4.5 mm/US 7 with Alaska and form 1 ring with 1 sl st in first ch. Work 12 dc in ring – read CROCHET INFO.

ROUND 1: Work 1 dc in first dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 RELIEF dc – see explanation above - around next dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 relief dc around next dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 2 dc = 16 dc.

ROUND 2: Work 1 dc in each of the first 2 dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 relief dc around next relief dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the next 4 dc, * 2 dc in next dc *, repeat from *-* 1 more time, 1 relief dc around next relief dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 3 dc = 21 dc. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE!

Then work as follows:

ROUND 3: Work 1 dc in each of the first 3 dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 relief dc around next relief dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in next dc, A.1 over the next 6 dc, 1 dc in next dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 relief dc around next relief dc, 2 dc in next dc, 1 dc in each of the last 4 dc = 25 dc.

Continue working 2 dc in same dc on each side of the 2 relief dc in each side of piece (= 4 dc inc per round) and A.1 over the middle 6 dc on top of slipper.

Repeat inc 2-2-3 more times = 33-33-37 dc.

Then work next round as follows: 1 dc in each of the first 7-7-8 dc, 1 relief dc as before, 1 dc in each of the next 5-5-6 dc, A.1 as before (repeat A.1a), 1 dc in each of the next 5-5-6 dc, 1 relief dc as before, 1 dc in each of the last 8-8-9 dc. Continue like this until piece measures 12-13-14 cm / 4 3/4"-5"-5½"'', adjust so that last round is first round in A.1a. Fasten off.

Now work piece back and forth, beg in the middle of A.1a (i.e. 3 sts in in A.1a = mid on top of foot). Work as follows (first row from RS): Work ch 3, work 1 relief dc around each of the first 3 dc (= over A.1a), work the next 2 dc tog – READ DECREASE TIP, work as before until 5 dc remain, work the next 2 dc tog, 1 relief dc around each of the last 3 dc = 31-31-35 dc. Repeat dec from WS - READ RELIEF dc (WS) = 29-29-33 dc. Work pattern as before until piece measures 20-22-25 cm / 8"-8 3/4"-9 3/4". Work next row as follows: Work 1 relief dc around each of the first 3 relief dc, 1 dc in each of the 3-3-4 dc, 1 relief dc around the relief dc as before, work 2 dc tog, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, 2 dc tog, 1 dc, 2 dc tog, 1 dc in each of the next 3 dc, 2 dc tog, 1 relief dc, 1 dc in each of the next 3-3-4 dc, 1 relief dc around each of the last 3 relief dc = 25-25-29 dc. Repeat this dec on next row = 21-21-25 dc. Then work back and forth only over the first 7-7-8 dc as before for 2 cm / 3/4''. Fasten off. Work back and forth over the last 7-7-8 dc in opposite side of piece as before for 2 cm / 3/4''. Sew them tog mid back, sew them to under side of slipper. Work another slipper the same way.
