PATTERN RELEASE!

Pitter-Patter Pet Slippers - Pack 1 (Puppy, Bear & Fox)



If crocheting a shoe sole makes you a little crazy. you are going to love this simple slipper! 

Made in the round, this slipper uses a basic stitch combination that creates a texture rich fabric.


What’s more, these slippers will not fall off! The ankle is designed to hug the leg and stay on little piggies. 
Is it warm where you live or summertime? No worries! This pattern includes instruction for how to make these without the ankle portion.

Name That Pattern Pack!

Name that Pattern Pack!

As promised, here is a sneak peak of 3B&BY latest and greatest pattern pack. 
This set of three toddler-sized animal slippers is with our testers right now. 



We hope to have it ready for official release this weekend, but we need a name. 
It will be the first in a series of animal pattern packs using this design, 
so it needs to be generic enough for a variety of animals. 
For example, "Pitter-Patter Animal Slippers," was suggested by a good friend. 


Leave a comment on the blog for a chance to win a FREE copy when released!
