Converse Slippers Pattern
I made these slippers for my roommate last year. She loves them! Someone requested I share the pattern, so here it is!
A couple of things first: These are INDOOR SLIPPERS ONLY. They aren't suitable for going outside, and from what I've seen the white yarn won't clean up completely unless you bleach it, which will ruin the yarn. So only wear them inside, k?
Also, I haven't got around to sizing yet, so these are size 8 women's. If you adapt it to make a different size, I'd love to know! =)
How to read my patterns:
xst y: x is the number of stitches to work into the next stitch. st is the kind of stitch to use. y is the number of stitches to work this way. (2sc 3 means make 2 sc in each of the next 3 stitches.)
sk - skip this many stitches.
2-x (dec): 2sc first st, 1sc x. If there's a dec after this instruction, replace the 2sc with sc2tog.
