Semi-Granny Slip-on’s

DSCI0017  DSCI0018

Pattern written: Sorry I’ve just created this pair & haven’t tried any other size yet since this is my size.

Ladies: S/M US: 6/8 UK: 3 ½ – 5 ½ Continental: 36-38 ½ Japanese: 22 ½ – 24 ½

Material: 2 Fashionable Buttons Sorry I Just took buttons out of my bucket of buttons & tried to see which ones would work through the button holes that I made. I’m not a professional.

Crochet Hook “h”,”5 mm”, “8” or “6” in the UK

Yarn: Sorry I’m not sure about the amount needed but I’m sure you can do this with your scrap yarn no more than 1 ½ oz I suppose. I’m not a professional by any means.

Sorry I didn’t measure my gauge but they should measure between 7” unstretched (17.8 cm) – 9” (22.9 cm) when slightly stretched.

Stitches used: (FPT) Front Post Treble in the USA sorry I’m not familiar enough with the UK stitches to know what to call it as you can see I pulled a chart from the internet to attach so that others will be able to follow & convert the stitches accordingly to the UK at least.

  1. I love these slip-ons. 🙂 Is there any way you could guide me so as to make them in a larger size? I am not a very experienced crocheter and do not have a clue as to how to make the adjustments myself.

    1. What size are you wanting to create? If it is just one size larger use the same # of stitches but use the next hook size larger to create them with. I created them by measuring the piece every so often against my foot to make sure I was making my size. They do stretch slightly. However, I do know that if you use a larger hook & the same # of stitches you will achieve the next size up. Does that make sense?

  2. I question as to why you named this particular blog, “Semi-Granny Slip-ons | Mommabear Mintun’s Tender Loving Care Creations”. In any event I personally loved the article!Thank you-Gwendolyn

    1. Well because the pattern starts out as a Granny that transformed into a slipper without leaving the granny so I wasn’t really sure if I should say Granny Square Slipon slipper or Semi-grannysquare slipon slipper.
