Let's Make Some Games in Plastic Canvas Patterns




What is more fun than playing games with the family on game night? How about making a few of your own favorite games with these fun patterns?  Just download a pattern and use a little yarn and you got yourself a game!  Fun games to play like The Shake Game a great take-along game that can keep children happy during long car trips! The colorful shaker is filled with cubes that help youngsters learn to recognize letters, as well as to spell and count. Because there are no set rules for how to play, they will be encouraged to develop their own ideas, and adults will appreciate the fact that the soft pieces make very little noise.

Quick and Easy to Crochet Slippers Free Pattern

Crochet Slipper Pattern
As the weather gets colder and we look for gifts to crochet for loved ones this winter why not try to make a pair of slippers with cuffs to keep a loved ones feet warm?



Print Friendly and PDF
I created these easy and fast slippers using Bernat Softee Chunky yarn in Royal Blue and a size H Crochet hook.  But they could also be made using worsted weight yarn and holding two strands together.
These are pretty easy to make I made them to fit a women's US Size M 7-9 but they can be modified by reducing or adding to your first chain stitch.
This slipper is made by crocheting a rectangle approximately 9" wide by 10" high and single crocheting the rectangle together or using a tapestry needle to sew up the ends.  The toe is at one end and the heel is at the other end of the slipper.  Pull the toe together tightly in order to gather a toe and stitch or crochet a seam in the heal leaving enough yarn for your foot to go in.  
Materials:   (2) 3.5 oz Skeins of Bernat Softee Chunky yarn or two strands of any regular worsted weight yarn held together throughout the pattern.
Size: H (5.00 mm) Crochet Hook for Women's size
1 Row = 1 inch

This Pattern crochets up quickly and can be made in any size by varying the number of stitches and rows.
The pattern is basically a rectangle that is crocheted into a pair of slippers with cuffs. The pattern can be worked with a thick yarn or with a worsted weight yarn and holding 2 strands together. The pattern below is for a women’s size 7-9 approximately but it can be adjusted by varying the stitches and the rows in the rectangle.
Note: The toe is at one end and the heel is at the other end of the slipper. Pull the toe together tightly in order to gather a toe and stitch or crochet a seam in the heal leaving enough yarn for your foot to go in.
