As a follow-up to my Simple Toddler Slippers, I wanted to tackle a child sized pair. These are scaled up to fit a child size 10 – 2 (US measurements). Keep in mind that they will stretch to fit!
The finished project is approximately 8 inches from heel to toe. Playing with the hook size will give you a little more wiggle room if you need them larger.
Interested in a complete printable pdf copy filled with extras you won’t find here in the blog pattern? You can find it only over in my Craftsy shop!
