CROCHET SLIPPERS & A MINI HEART

Autumn is slowly making its appearance  here in the northern part of  Greece. The weather has changed getting more chilly everyday! So why not take care of these cold feet and prepare them for a little coziness?:) I actually love making crochet slippers; I must admit they make me feel so happy plus they give you an extra feeling of comfort and snug!:)  I alos thought of making a little heart just for fun!

These slippers were made in an afternoon and are actually quite easy, suitable for beginners at crochet! I used  100% merino wool in pink  and grey, and the feeling is super soft and cozy! I made these slippers in a similar way to my other crochet slippers. The heart was made with 100% cotton yarn.
