Crocheted Seed Stitch Slippers




I found these very easy to make. Good for beginners. The seed stitch gives a nice bumpy or popcorn look. Size is for a 9.5 to 10 inch foot. 


MATERIALS

Yarn: 4 ply worsted weight
Hook: 4.5 mm

Gauge: 4 sts done in seed stitch = 1 inch
4 rows of seed stitch = 1 inch

Size: Will fit a 9 1/2" to 10" foot.


Abbreviations used:
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch
st - stitch
sc - single crochet
tr - treble crochet


Ch 4, ss to join to first chain to form a ring

Row 1 - Ch 1, 10 sc in ring, ss to join to first sc, ch 1, turn. (10 sts)

(Remember to always begin your first stitch in the first sc of the previous row and not in the slip stitch where you joined.)

Row 2 - *1 sc and tr in next st*, (both are in the same st) repeat to end of row, ss to join to first st, ch 1, turn. (20 sts)

Row 3 - *2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 4 sts*, repeat from * to * to end of row, ss to join, ch1, turn. (24 sts)

Row 4 - *1 sc in next st, 1 tr in next st*, repeat from * to * to end of row, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (24 sts)

Row 5 - 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 11 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 11 sts, ss to join, ch 1, turn. ( 26 sts)

Row 6 - *1 sc in next st, 1 tr in next st*, repeat from * to * to end of row, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (26 sts)

Row 7 - 1 sc in each st, ss to join to first sc, ch 1, turn. (26 sts)

Row 8 - Same as Row 6

Row 9 - 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in next 12 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 12 sts, ss to join, ch 1, turn. ( 28 sts)

Row 10 - *1 sc in next st, 1 tr in next st*, repeat from * to * to end of row, ss to join, ch 1, turn. (28 sts)

Row 11 - 1 sc in each st, ss to join to first sc, ch 1, turn. (28 sts)

Rows 12 to 17 - Repeat Rows 10 and 11 alternately.

Row 18 - *1 sc in next st, 1 tr in next st*, repeat from * to * over 26 sts, 1 sc in next 2 sts, DO NOT JOIN, ch 1, turn (28 sts)

Row 19 - 1 sc in each st to end of row, DO NOT JOIN, ch 1, turn (28 sts)

Rows 20 to 33 - Repeat Rows 18 and 19 alternately.
Fasten off and sew up back, or you can slip stitch the back together by going through both loops of last row. You do that by turning to the wrong side and folding the back in half, slip stitch the 1st to the 28th st, then slip stitch the 2nd st to the 27th st, then slip stitch the 3rd st to the 26th st, and so on. Sew in ends.
