Crochet: How to work a slipper from the toe, back to the heel and leg.

In this DROPS video we show a basic pattern that is used in some of our slippers pattern (speeding). We start with the toe and working backward to heel, we work the heel tog with chain stitches and then work a shaft. But REMEMBER that you also have to read the pattern to get the correct number of sts/increases etc.

Bonjour Mme Fromy, cette vidéo se veut juste un support pour visualiser comment réaliser ce type de chaussons, en commençant par la pointe, en rond, puis en allers et retours pour l'ouverture du pied, et enfin comment crocheter la tige. Il vous faudra lire un modèle de ce type pour comprendre, les parties les plus simples ont été passées en accéléré car elles sont expliquées dans le modèle. Bon crochet!

We have therefore written instructions to accompany this video, and there is no sound to disturb while watching. Enjoy!

Dear Janice, only the easiest parts in the video (ie the parts where you just repeat previous rows/rounds as before) are on high speed. Happy crocheting!
