Looking for a pattern
Hi all!
A few of you might recognize this request, since I first asked it on rctn. I didn't get much help there (quite a surprise!), so I thought I'd pop in here since it's a knit/crochet question. My sister is looking for a pattern to make slippers that look like Converse sneakers, knit or crochet. Does anyone know of one, other than the baby booties or knit tops attached to the rubber bottoms I've found already on the 'net? My grandniece (the intended recipient) is 10. TIA! Joan |

Joan If she used a very bulky yarn and got more stitches to the inch, instead of the sport weight they call for, would that increase the size enough? She could then just follow the instructions as given. Lucille |

Sport weight doubled is bulky, so using worsted should get something about twice the size as the original. |

And that was written before I had the sip of wine for New Years Eve. lol Lucille |

I've made the baby ones, but the ones I did have an adult version. It's only available on Ravelry, though, but Ravelry is free. The pattern is 'Grown-Up Chucks Hi Top Sneaker Booties' and costs $6 for a pdf. Hope that helps Kirsten |

Sport weight doubled is worsted, is what I meant to say, so the worsted with the right size needles on the same stitches would be about twice the size as the little ones with sport yarn. sue |
