Special Notes

2. Insert your hook under the rope/edge of the slipper.
3. Place slip knot on hook, pull loop under the rope, and yarn over, pull up a loop to attach.
4. Continue under the rope, over the tail:
   • Insert hook, yo, pull under rope (2 loops on hook).
   • Yo, pull through both loops (sc made).
   • Repeat single crochets (sc) all the way around the slipper edge, working each st over the yarn tail to secure and avoid weaving in.

If gaps appear, gently spread the stitches with your hand.

Conclusion

You have now completed a pair of stylish ruffled slippers with three edge options: plain ruffle, contrasting or matching color edge, and a unique knotted effect. This project is very beginner friendly and can be adjusted for any color style or slipper base.

Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Accuracy: Always ensure the same number of sc on each side for mirrored ruffles.
• Ruffle Consistency: Maintain even, loose tension for best results.
• Edging: Do not pull sc edging too tight; this will pucker the ruffles.
• Flame-sealing: Only use with synthetic (acrylic) yarn; never with wool or cotton.
• Placement: Start and finish at even points on both sides for symmetry.
• Customization: Try different yarn colors/textures for creative results!
