Ribbed Slipper Pattern

Edit Aug 25, 2013: I have included a You Tube video link on how to do the front and back post DC, you can find it here.

Surprise Yourself with a $10 Mystery Knitting or Crochet Kit from Darn Good Yarn.

Edit Oct 13, 2017: I am excited to see that this is my most popular pattern to date. I was inspired to make this after seeing a vintage knitted slipper pattern. Many people have asked how to change the size of this pattern. I have not experimented with this pattern enough to truly know the answer, except try different yarn types, hooks sizes, and experimenting the amount of dc's in row 1. Speaking of row 1, if you know how to do the magic ring, you can do that instead of putting 14 dc into a single chain.
This slipper has the front and back post dc's around the entire slipper. I think this gives the slipper a thick textured around the entire foot.

So here is my pattern for the ribbed slipper
Materials:
One 6-8 oz (about 200 grams) skein Worsted Weight Yarn
Size g hook

New Shelled Sock Pattern

Pin It
Edited April 10, 2011

I was in the mood to make crocheted socks. I was going to make these cabled socks:

I got the toes done and started to work the cables and did not like how it was working out, so I decided to go with a shelled pattern I created:

Materials: finger weight sock yarn
Size B hook.

Toe

Chain 8

Round 1: 3 sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in the next 5 chain, 3 sc in the last chain, working on the opposite side of the foundation, sc in the free loop on the next 5 chain, (16 sc)

Round 2: working in continuous rounds, sc in next sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in next 7 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in the next 7 sc, (20 sc)

Rounds 3-9: work 2 sc increase at each side of the foot, work sc across toes (24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, sc)

Start shell pattern:

Row 1: sc in next stitch (mark this stitch), skip 2 sc, 5 dc in next stitch (shell made) *skip 2 sc, sc in next stitch, skip 2 sc, shell in next stitch* around (Eight shells)

Row 2: …

Friendship Shawl

I could not think up of a name for this shawl. I made this shawl for my church. Most of stash now comes from the free yarn that is given away at my church, so I thought it would be a good ideal to make a shawl for their prayer shawl program.

So now onto the pattern. I have many vintage craft magazines and I came across a picture of this cute pattern. Except when I read the pattern, it did not made sense. There is no way the instructions was going to make the bow pattern in the picture.

So I figured out how to make the pattern and now here is the instructions for my shawl.

16 ounces Worst Weight Yarn
Size J hook

Row 1: Chain 67, sc in the second chain from hook, sc in remaining chains across. You have 66 sc.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as a dc) skip a sc, dc in the next 2 sc * ch 4, skip 3 sc, dc in the next 3 sc* repeat to the last 3 sc, dc in each of the last 3 sc, ch 3, turn

Row 3: Skip a dc, dc in the next 5 dc, * ch 3, skip the ch 4's and dc in each of the three dc* repeat until the …
