Gaston slippers by Lucie

I crocheted many slippers this fall. In all colours and sizes, but always for the ladies. People have asked for something that would be fit for both sexes.


So, as requested here are the Gaston slippers!   ---- TRADUCTION : ELIZABETH LOWE


Yarn : Red Heart Comfort
crochet : 6 mm ou 7 mm


The hook you use makes all the difference. Here, we use the same type of yarn, same number of stitches, same hook size, but a different type of hook. For the woman’s model, use a smaller hook.

Model 9 for men (medium)

Part 1: the sole. Once it is completed, make sure it fits the length of your foot when the sole is a little bit stretched.
Step 1: Mesure your foot. A foot that mesures 27cm ---ch 17 or 19 stitches,
Women : 25 cm---ch 15 stitches…or a smaller hook

One sc in the 2nd stitch from hook, all in sc, 3 sc in the last stitch, then turn, come back and do 2 sc in the last stitch. Close.

Row 2 : 1 ch, 1 sc in the first stitch, all in sc, 2 sc in the last stitch, mark the center, turn, come back with 2 sc in the next stitch, all in sc, 2 sc in the last stitch and close.

Row 3: 1 ch, 1 sc in the first stitch, all in sc until you only have 9 stitches left before you reach the middle. 1 half double crochet in the next stitch (repeat 3x), 1 treble (dc) in the next stitch (3x), and 2 trebles in the next stitch (3 x). We have reached the center . Come back the same way: 2 trebles in the next stitch (3x), 1 treble in the next stitch (3x), 1 treble in the next stitch (3x). sc in each ch across to last st of this side, 2 sc in last. join.

Row 4: 1 ch, 1 sc in the first stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch. All in sc until you only have 9 stitches left before you reach the center. 1 half double treble in the next stitch (3x), 1 treble in the next stich (3x), and 2 trebles in the next stitch (3x). We have reached the center. Come back the same way as previously : 2 trebles in the next stitch (3x), 1 treble in the next stich (3x), 1 treble in the next stitch (3x). All in sc and 2 sc in the last 2 stitches. joint


Part 2 : the front and top of the foot

Row 1: Raise 8 sc at the end of the foot, 1 ch on the sole, then turn.
 
 
Row 2: thread at the front, 1 sc in the stitch of the sole (the same as the chain.) We have a one stitch increase, continue in sc until you’ve reached the end of the sc of the previous row, 1 slst on the sole, then turn.
 
Rows 3 to 7: Like row 2. When you’ve reached row 7, you have 14 stitches.
 
Rows 8 to 19: No more increasing. Thread at the front, 1 sc on the sc of the previous row, 1 slst on the sole, then turn.
 
The second part covers about 50% of the sole.

Part 3: heel and border

 
Row 1: raise some sc on the sole, connect 1 slst to part 2, 1 sc on the second part, turn.
 
Row 2 : in sc, 1 slst on part 2, then turn.
 
From here on, we crochet in a circle.
 
 
Rows 3, 4, 5, 6: All and sc, and when you reach part two (the top of the foor), do one slst, continue in sc until you reach the start of part 3, skip 1 stitch (in rows 4,5 6, the sc of the previous row is skipped), 1 slst and the rest in sc. This is what facilitates the transition to the border of the slipper (see socks below)


 Rows 7 to 14 (the number of rows is as you wish): all in sc
 
Last row: all in sc, but join it with the 9th row.
Happy crocheting!
