I love the detail in these boots. Not sure white would go well in our house but they are adorable just the same. I know my daughter would love to rock the house in these. You can check out the full pattern here.  Crochet Slipper Boots.

Looking for more slippers to crochet? Check out these Slipper patterns we found on Etsy.

Crochet slippers are the ultimate comfort for your feet, they keep your feet warm and add padding to the underfoot of your sole.

Crochet slippers make wonderful gifts as generally they fit several sizes. Slippers are great for donating to charities, as crochet slippers can be handed out to hospitals, aged care facilities, and displaced children.

Did you know the first recorded history of slippers can be traced all the way back to the 12th century?  The Vietnamese had been wearing slippers long before the folks in the West, with its earliest record of a slipper only being traced to 1478.

We also found these great crochet books on slipper patterns to crochet.

Comments

  4. How is this possible that you say it’s a free pattern and then provide a link to get said pattern and all you get is a link to an Etsy shop where you have to buy the pattern. What gives?

  9. There seems to be some confusion, we never said it was free. Free patterns generally have the word FREE in our title or the word free is written in the article.

  10. You wrote a post about a supposedly FREE PATTERN. When you got complaints that the pattern is not free, you wrote a comment and an update claiming that you never said it was free, even though you still call it a free pattern right above your disclaimer.

    “You can check out the full free pattern here.”

    Yes, there is some confusion, but it is yours, not ours.

    You owe us an apology for misposting. You owe us an apology for lying about misposting. You owe your employer an apology for taking a salary for such shoddy work.

    I’ve taken a screen shot of the post, so even if you update it again without an apology, your employers will know that you are incompetent in your position

  12. There seems to be some confusion and I can see that my update was not clear and did not clarify the mistakes.
    However It’s a post that was incorrect and whilst I am sure you were disappointed (rightly so). I do not think your reply is warranted. “I should not take a salary for such shoddy work”. Please ladies and gentleman it’s Crochet, it’s a pattern, it’s a mistake. No need for such offensive replies. If you don’t like my blogging then don’t read it. As for my employer? I own the whole Craftgossip.com website. The website that provides information, gossip, news and reviews to you, our readers for FREE.

    Meantime type free lace boots in to google if you still need a pattern.

  13. “I should not take a salary for such shoddy work”

    If you are going to misquote me, please misquote accurately. I did not say you should not take a salary, I said you should apologize for taking a salary. As for you owning the site, that is so sad. It means there is no hope for improvement.

  14. Wow people can be mean…I was disappointed it wasn’t free as well (it does say free), but look for another pattern and move on with your lives people :/

  15. The post in pintrest still states its a free pattern just as a heads up. You might want to update that if possible so others dont get confused

The Miffy Crochet Book Review: 16 Sweet Projects for Bunny Lovers

Some characters need elaborate outfits and a whole collection of accessories to be recognisable. Miffy manages it with two long ears and the simplest little face. There is something rather lovely about that, especially when you’re looking for crochet projects that feel sweet without being overly fussy.

The Miffy Crochet Book brings that familiar storybook charm to a collection of handmade toys, decorations and home accessories. If you have a Miffy fan in the family, or you’re rather fond of the little bunny yourself, this is a crochet book worth a closer look.

What appeals to me is the possibility of making several coordinating gifts from one collection. A bunny is lovely on its own, but a bunny with a matching blanket? That is how a small project quietly becomes an entire gift basket.

What Is The Miffy Crochet Book?

Created by crochet designer Kimberley Zwaans, with designs based on Dick Bruna’s illustrations, this official Miffy crochet book is published by Search Press.

The 128-page paperback contains 16 projects, with a mixture of smaller makes and larger pieces. You can find The Miffy Crochet Book at Knit Picks.

More Than a Miffy Bunny Crochet Pattern

The collection includes Miffy and friends as amigurumi toys, alongside projects such as a blanket, motif cushion and moon-and-stars mobile.

There is also a birthday theme, with a crochet cake, placemats, bunting and a crown. That gives the book an appeal beyond toy making, particularly if you enjoy creating decorations that can come out again for family celebrations.

I like that mixture. Sometimes you want a small character project with a face to embroider. Other times, a larger piece of crochet is exactly what you want beside your chair for the evening.

The collection uses seven yarn shades, which gives it a cohesive feel. You will still need to check the quantities and requirements for each project before shopping. Seven colours does not necessarily mean seven balls, much as our yarn budgets might wish otherwise.

Is It Suitable for Beginners?

The publisher describes the book as beginner-friendly and says it includes illustrated guidance for the key stitches. There are also projects offering more challenge.

My practical advice is to choose your first make by the techniques involved, rather than simply picking the smallest item. Small amigurumi pieces can require quite a bit of counting, shaping and careful assembly.

If working in the round is still new territory, our magic ring crochet tutorials for beginners are useful preparation. You can also build confidence with these easy crochet projects that start with a magic loop.

Before starting, check the book’s stitch terminology, recommended yarn and hook size. Those details matter more than choosing a colour that happens to look lovely in the basket.

The Appeal, and What to Consider

For me, the strongest selling point is the coordinated theme. This would be particularly appealing for crocheters who love Miffy, enjoy character projects or want several related handmade gift ideas.

The narrower theme is also something to consider before buying. If you prefer a crochet book packed with different animals and styles, this collection may feel too specific. Its appeal depends on how much you enjoy Miffy’s simple, recognisable world.

Simple faces also deserve careful finishing. A tiny change in eye placement or the angle of an ear can alter a character’s expression, so I would allow time for pinning and checking before sewing everything permanently.

If you would like a separate bunny project to try first, our free kawaii bunny crochet pattern on CraftBits offers another option. It is a different pattern, rather than an extract from this book.

Who Would Enjoy This Book?

I would put The Miffy Crochet Book on the shortlist for a crocheter who enjoys nostalgic characters and likes the idea of making a coordinated collection.

The combination of toys, home accessories and celebration projects gives those 16 designs several different uses. You could choose one special make or gradually work towards a whole Miffy-themed gift.

That is the charm for me: familiar, cheerful designs with room to make something personal. Just decide which project you’re starting before buying the yarn. Otherwise, “one little bunny” has a habit of acquiring a blanket, bunting and its own birthday party.
