Toddler Double Sole Moccasins - Pattern

These slippers are sized for to two to four year olds. When I first envisioned the slipper, it didn't look quite like this, but I'm happy with how they turned out. Since this moccasin is for toddlers, I put in a double sole for a little more padding. I'm looking for a way to make the bottoms less slippery since we have wood floors. If anyone has any suggestions please share.


Materials:
two colors of worsted weight yarn
G hook (4.0mm)

Abbreviations:
ch – chain
st – stitch
sl st – slip stitch
sk – skip
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
dc – double crochet
sc2tog – single crochet two stitches together
dc2tog – double crochet two stitches together
dc3tog – double crochet three stitch together

Notes:
This pattern is written for two sizes. First size measures about 6 ¼ inches or a toddler size 9/10, the larger size is in ( ) and measures about 7 inches or a toddler size 11/12.


To make the double sole, make two soles in the accent color, rounds 1 – 4, and fasten off. Make the soles again with the main shoe color, the accent sole will be attached at round 5 when the body of the shoe is started.

Brother's Scarf - Pattern

I made a simple scarf for my brother for Christmas, then used the same pattern to make one for my father. I used super bulky yarn for my brother's and bulky yarn for my father's. I used different colors and a different stripe pattern for each of them. I know that there are so many patterns out there for scarves, especially easy ones, but I decided to put this one up anyway. There are so many ways to personalize this scarf. I'm just going to put the basic pattern first then put notes on the stripe pattern I did for my brother's as an example.



Materials
Bulky or Super Bulky yarn
N (9 mm) Hook
Yarn Needle

Abbrevations
ch - chain
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sl st - slip stitch

Measurements
width 6 inches; length 65 inches

ch 15
Row 1 - hdc in second ch from hook, hdc in each ch across, turn (13 sts)
Row 2 - ch 2, dc in each st, turn (13 sts)
*Repeat row 2 until desired length, for scarf shown approx. 72 rows*
Last Row - ch 2, hdc in each st, turn, sl st across to finish.



For this scarf I used the following numbering for the stripe pattern
Color A - red; Color B - gray

Color A - ch and row 1
Color B - 7 rows
Color A - 1 row
Color B -  9 rows
Color A - 1 row
Color B - 11 rows
Color A - 2 rows
Color B - 4 rows
Color A - 1 row
Color B - 4 rows
