Women’s Boat Slippers Straps and Toe Flap Tutorial

Women’s Boat Slippers Straps and Toe Flap Tutorial

Women’s Crochet Boat Slippers

I can’t believe this, but it’s beginning to feel like Autumn around here. It is probably just the rain. I would be completely fine if Mother Nature decides to warm it back up for a few weeks, but the break from the heat has been nice, too. It has made me a bit excited for sweaters and hot cocoa though (I may or may not have had hot cocoa for breakfast this morning).

I figured it might be getting cold somewhere; I am looking at you Michigan and Wyoming! So I decided to release these cute and comfy crochet boat slippers. I have been selling it in my Etsy shop for the past 10 months, but I decided to release it for free!

turn out perfect, I promise ☺ }

*Because everyone crochets at a different tension, I have included the sole sizes in
inches. If needed, move up or down a hook size to achieve this measurement on
your sole
