A friend of mine loves converse, what better to give as a Christmas present than converse inspired slippers? I couldn’t find a patter I liked so I ended up adapting Crystal Shadrick’s [Converse Baby Booties][1] to fit an adult-sized foot. It took a bit of tweaking and reworking but I have finally come up with a pattern that I enjoy and would like to share it with all of you. If you find any mistakes please feel free to let me know so that I can correct it. Happy knitting!!
