Mary Jane Slippers (Crochet)

I am disgruntled and in shock that so many people feel the need to sell a crochet pattern. Thankfully, there are angels like GOODKNITS.COM who still share the info with us all. Check out her free mary jane slipper pattern). I made a pair last night of 100% wool and will felt them today!

Crochet Mary Jane Slippers
by Lisa Gutierrez

Round 1: 8 DC into a magic loop [OR chain 4, slst to first chain, 8 DC into circle.]

Round 2: 2 DC into each stitch, slst into top of the first DC, ch 2. (16DC)

Round 3: 1 DC into same place, 2 DC into next st, *1 DC into next st, 2 DC into next* to the end, slst into top of the first DC, ch 2. (24DC)

Round 4: 1 DC into st and into the next, 2 DC into next st, *1 DC into each of the next 2, 2 DC into the next* to the end of the round, slst into top of the first DC, ch 2. (32DC).

Round 5-6: 1 DC into each st.

ROW 7: 1 DC into first 23 stitches. Ch 2, turn.

Row 8-19: 1 DC into each stitch. Ch 2, turn.

Row 20: DC into first 10 stitches, DC 3 tog, DC to end. Fasten off, leaving long tail to seam up heel.

Fold slipper in half and seam up the back with hook and slip-stitch OR a tapestry needle and whip-stitch.

Join MC [Aunt J-ME thinks this means multi-colored; I just stuck with one color the first go-round] yarn at center back of slipper, above the heel.

SC into same spot and then SC down the side of the DCs of the slipper toward the toe. At the corner, sc3tog [together?].

DC into 5 DC of the slipper, then sc3tog at the next corner.

SC on the sides of the DCs of the slipper toward the heel, slst into first sc.

Make a second round of SC in MC yarn, if desired. Make sure to sc3tog in the "corners" by the toe area.

Make a third round of SC using CC [?] yarn. You can incorporate the loop closure while you're making the round or simply add a chain loop after you've finished the edging and button placement.
