You'll Want to Crochet More than One Pair of the Wintermint Slipper Socks
About a month ago, my sister came to visit (side note: I am the ONLY crafty one in my family) and she asked to look through my basket of crocheted things that I’ve designed and haven’t used. She likes to “shop” my stuff. She came across these slipper socks and immediately claimed them! I had to tell her that I still needed them, but that she could have them after I got the pattern published. Up until yesterday I fully intended to save them for her, but then my feet got cold - ha! So now I’ll be making another pair for her because I’ve officially claimed these.

Pattern Notes
- The chain stitches at the beginning of each row/round do not count as a stitch.
- The last stitch of each round is attached to the first stitch of the round with a slip stitch
- I used a fairly tight tension for this project, please check your gauge so the slippers fit properly.
- Please be cautious wearing these on hard floors! They are slippery. I added puffy fabric paint to the bottom of mine to reduce the slip.
