Chunky Crochet Sock Slippers - Part 1
The chunky crochet sock slippers my sister Gisell has been waiting for are almost done! I am constantly impressed by how many things I can make with a crochet hook and some yarn. I’m especially impressed that I can make things I once considered too complicated or difficult to figure out and now I’m making up a crochet slippers pattern on my own!
When coming up with a design for these slipper socks I wanted something simple and quick to make. I chose a thick yarn so the socks would work up quickly but also so that they would be squishy, soft, and warm. Perfect for cold winter nights!
