I like to make sure at least one of our Christmas gifts to the boys is handmade every year.
This year I settled on slippers.
I waited until the very last minute to get them done this year though. Reid’s were done just hours before he opened them to wear them Christmas Eve night! But they were done! Phew…
Paired with their new pajamas, I thought they looked quite adorable. 🙂
To make the slippers, I used this boys’ loafer pattern from Holland Designs.
It is definitely an intermediate pattern and takes more time than other things I’ve made in the past, but the results…
totally worth it.
I love the ribbing all the way around.
Lisa’s patterns are very detailed and thorough. This pattern spans quite a few sizes so I’m excited to make more in the future.
Actually… I loved this pattern so much, I contacted Lisa to see if she would do a giveaway.
And she agreed!For all you crocheters, this week is your lucky week!
Lisa is giving away one 2012 Crochet Calendar.

I also made my boys a pair of slippers for Christmas morning and was up very late getting them done in time for them to unwrap them. They were a hit and I got it on video 🙂 I'm not sure what my boys were more happy about, new slippers or new guitars! Made my Christmas very special!

Your slippers came out beautifully. So very cute on your little boys. Here’s my entry. My email is connected to my profile.
So cute! I’m a fairly new crochet-er and just completed my first blanket for my god daughter this holiday. I’m already obsessed and started on a stuffed giraffe for a little one on the way! I could really use some more patterns and inspiration. A calendar so perfect for this. My monthly goals already set for me? Awesome!!
