• Hook: Size G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 single crochets and 20 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Sole

1. Using the pastel pink yarn, create a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. (6 stitches)
3. Round 2: Work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. (12 stitches)
4. Round 3: Work [1 single crochet, 2 single crochets in the next stitch] around. (18 stitches)
5. Round 4: Work [2 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch] around. (24 stitches)
6. Continue increasing in this manner until the sole measures approximately 9 inches in diameter for a medium size. This will ensure a comfortable fit for your foot.

Creating the Upper Part

1. Attach the mint green yarn to the last stitch of the sole.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work a single crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the first single crochet.
3. Rounds 2-6: Repeat Round 1, working a single crochet in each stitch around and joining with a slip stitch at the end of each round.
4. Round 7: Switch to the soft lavender yarn and work a single crochet in each stitch around.
5. Round 8: Work [3 single crochets, 2 single crochets in the next stitch] around.
6. Rounds 9-12: Work a single crochet in each stitch around.

Finishing Touches

1. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
2. Create three pom-poms: one each in pastel pink, mint green, and soft lavender. To make a pom-pom, wrap yarn around your fingers several times, tie in the center, and cut the loops to create a fluffy ball.
3. Attach the pom-poms securely to the top front of each slipper, spacing them evenly for a balanced look.
4. To add fringe around the ankle opening, cut 4-inch strands of each color. Fold each strand in half and use your crochet hook to pull them through the stitches around the ankle. Secure each strand with a knot.

Repeat the entire process for the second slipper, and soon you’ll have a delightful pair of Vintage Retro Pastel Pom-Pom Slippers to enjoy!
