Slipper Socks Slipper socks are a great learning tool if you have never made socks. Instead of using sock yarn, size 2 needles, and 64 sts, you use chunky yarn (actually worsted, double stranded), size 10 needles, and 28 sts. If you haven’t made socks, these are a quick way to learn. If you HAVE made socks, everyone in your family will want a pair of these cozy socks!

Susan’s Welcome Blanket Using a slow striping yarn like Seasons, means you are able to work a granny square pattern without having tons of ends to weave in! This pattern is a standard granny square, great for a newer crocheter, but lots of fun for the more experienced. This pattern makes a 40 X 40” afghan, great for a lapghan, or for a baby blanket. With additional yarn and more squares, it’s easy to enlarge (you can get about 4 squares per ball of each yarn). Pattern Details |
