Slipper Boots Pattern

This is an amateur create as I go pattern. So please, don't be too harsh on the criticism. :) 

I am attempting to crochet a pair of slipper boots in the style of UGG Boots. I scoured the internet looking for a site that has a pattern free of charge. I had no luck, so I am attempting to create them on my own, making up my pattern as I go. I am breaking the pattern and instructions down by each part of the slipper as I create them. Here is my plan:

  1. Sole of slipper
  2. front toe to ankle 
  3. outside of slipper
  4. inside of slipper
  5. outside calf portion
  6. inside calf portion
  7. fuzzy trim
  8. any additional decorations
Like I said, who knows if this will work because this is my first attempt at creating a pattern to share with other people. Hopefully it will work and I can share it for free so others can have a free pattern.


Slipper Boots Pattern
Day 1-
Sole of Slipper
Crochet Hook size -  6.00 mm/Size J
Yarn used – I Love this Yarn Brand – Med. Weight – Burnt Pumpkin Orange

Abbreviations:
SC - single chain
SS - single stitch
DS - double stitch
If you don't know how to do these stitches, you can find some really great tutorials on YouTube. That is how I taught myself how to crochet a couple of years ago! There may be some more complicated stitches as I go through this but, probably not. 

Begin-
Sc 17
Turn, SS 16, in same  stitch as previous SS-DS 1
Turn, DS 1, sc 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 1
Turn, DS 1, sc 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 1
Turn, DS 2, sc 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 1,
As you go around, DS 2, DS 2, SS 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 1, DS 2
As you go around, DS 3, DS 2, SS 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 2, DS 2
As you go around, DS 2, DS 2,DS 2, SS 16, in same stitch as previous SS-DS 2, DS 2
As you go around, DS 2, DS 2,DS 2, SS 18, DS 2, DS 2
AS you go around, DS 2, DS 3, DS 1, DS 1, SS 17, DS 2 (next 7), DS 3
SS 19, DS 1, DS 2 (next 5), DS 3, SS 21, DS 2 (next 5), DS 1 (next 11) you should be around to the other side
SS 24, DS 1 (next 9), DS 2 (next 2), SS 80 (you should be all the way back around to the other side)
SS 80 – you should be all the way back around to where you started at this point. I tied my row off here because it was the right size for the sole of my slipper. Remember you will need to make 2 of these for your pair of boots. When you finish the 2nd sole, flip it upside down so it will work for the opposite foot. Good luck! Let me know how adventure with this goes...I would love to hear from you!
