MOD DRAGON SLIPPERS – Toddler/3-4 YO

MOD Dragon Slippers. FINISHED.

I designed these little dragon slippers the other day for a little boy – they will fit a foot that wears a 9-10 toddler shoe.

I designed MOD Dragon Slippers after Hearthsong’s dragon scuffs …

DRAGON Slipper Scuffs - Hearthsong

… with several modifications - coloration and a slipper sock formation:

I scaled the original slipper sock pattern down to fit a smaller boy’s foot – here is the general slipper pattern sans instructions for eyes, frills, or tongue; those you can work out on your own to fit your own interpretation of your dragon. I was in a hurry, so I didn’t get fancy and I didn’t take notes for the trims ;-)

These slipper socks are quick and easy to make and very adaptable to active imagnations.

Toddler Slipper Sock

Materials: Worsted weight yarn/size I crochet hook/tapestry needle

NOTE: Double yarn used for slipper. Worked in the round with no joining except on final row before ending off.

Rnd 1: Ch 2, work 5 sc into 2nd ch from hook to form a circle. Mark last st of this rnd, then move marker at the end of each succeeding rnd.

Rnd 2: Work 3 sc into each sc around (15 sc).

Rnd 3: 2 sc in first sc, *sc in each of next 2 sc, increase next sc* repeat from * around (20 sc).

Rnd 4: Inc 3 sts as follows – Inc, I sc X6, Inc, I sc X6, Inc, I sc X5 (23 sc).

Work even on 23 sts for a total of 12 rounds (include beginning round in count).

Back: Chain 11 and using both loops, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each st and sc of slipper sock, working your way back up the foundation ch (44 sc around entire sock)

From now on, sc in the back loop of each sc every row from here on out.

Work 4 ridge rows: 8 back loop rows; then begin decrease rows as follows –

1st DEC Row: Sc in each of next 19 sc, dec over next 2 sc, work 1 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc to end. Ch 1, turn.

2nd DEC Row: Sc in each of next 18 sc, dec over next 2 sc, work 1 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc to end. Ch 1, turn.

3rd and final DEC Row: Sc in each of next 17 sc, dec over next 2 sc, work 1 sc, dec over next 2 sc, sc to end. Ch 1, turn.

Turn back section of slipper over and match sts. Sl st inside loops of sides together. Finish off.

IF YOU ARE ADDING A DRAGON FACE/FRILLS do not finish the back seam yet! It is easier to add your own trims to the front if the back seam is left open until you have your features added to the front:

That’s it … easy peasy ;-)

Work out a design of your own and drop by to share your picture of your finished slipper with me :-D

THURSDAY BIBLE STUDY


THE GOSPEL ACCORDNG TO MATTHEW

Chapter 4: When Yeshua (Jesus) was led by the Ruach (the Holy Spirit) into the wilderness to be tested by Lucifer (the devil) He spent 40 days and 40 nights there, fasting, after which He was very hungry. Then the Tempter came near and said, “If You are Ben Elohim (Son of God), tell these stones to become bread.” But Yeshua said in reply, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Elohei (God)’” (Deuteronomy 8:3).

Next, Lucifer took Him to the Holy City (Jerusalem), and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said, “If You are Elohei, jump down, for it is written: ‘He has commanded His angels to look after You, and they will hold You up in their hands so that Your foot shall not strike against a stone’” (Psalm 91:11 & 12). Yeshua answered him, “It is also written: ‘you shall not tempt Adonai (the Lord), your God’” (Deuteronomy 6:16).

Once more Lucifer took Him – this time to the top of a very high mountain – and he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, and said to Him, “I will give You all of these, if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Yeshua said to him, “Go! Away with you, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship Adonai, your God, and you shall serve Him only’” (Deuteronomy 6:13). Then the Devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him.


When Yeshua had heard that John had been put into prison, He went up to Galilee. And then, leaving Nazareth, He went up into Capernaum, which is by the Sea of Galilee, and on the borders of Zebulun and Nephtali. Thus the words spoken by the prophet Isaiah were to come true: “Land of Zebulun and land of Nephtali, along the road to the sea, this side of the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: This people sitting in darkness saw a great Light; a Light dawned on those who dwelt in the land and in the shadow of death” (Isaiah 8:22-9:2).

From that time on, Yeshua began to preach saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” As He walked by the Sea of Galilee He saw 2 brothers – Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, abut to cast a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. He talked to them. “Come with Me,” He said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” They abandoned their nets and immediately followed Him. And as they went father He saw 2 other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a boat together with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called to them. And they, too, at once left their boat and their father, and followed Him.


So Yeshua went about in all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people. His fame spread even into all Syria, and the people brought Him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and sufferings, also demoniacs, lunatics and paralytics, and He healed them. Great crowds followed Him from Galilee and Decapolis, from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Dangerous World

We live in a dangerous world.

We, who are Christians, are of the world, yet not part of the world.

Remember … those of the world can violently kill our bodies and instantly change our address … but they cannot control our minds with fear and they cannot force us to renounce our faith in The Faith of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach.

Despite what libtard demoncrats are preaching … gun control will not stop this type of violence because it is a mental defect caused by a twisted soul crippled by the deprivation of Godly input.

What we are now experiencing in America is a direct result of removing Christ from our private and public lives, our work places, our schools, and our churches – YES! Even America’s Churches have been infiltrated by gnostic minded minions in liege with the enemy, and sits in leadership positions posing as ambassadors for Yeshua.

When The Church is weak and silent, evil takes root and spreads it reach …

TERRORISTS DESERVE DEATH PENALTY – YES!



I’m with President Trump – this animal should get the death penalty and NO social media attention. At all.

Instead social media plays up libtard demoncrat sympathies toward the attacker instead of sympathies towards the victims – primarily American victims of radical muslim barak hussain obama’s DISastrous radical muslim “don’t ask/don’t tell” infiltration/indoctrination political agendas.

The religion of islam as a whole IS VIOLENCE; death is the purpose of islam. Ignoramuses of political persuasions arrogantly, ignorantly, and conveniently forget that to further their wicked agendas.

MOD PENGUIN SLIPPERS

I worked these little slippers up tonight – the pair took roughly 6-1/2 hours to complete … subsequent pairs will take less time now that the design is finally worked out ;-)

MOD Penguin Slippers. Will be asking $10 for PR at Saturday’s Bazaar in Rose Valley this weekend.

I used the original pattern found at this link: http://www.knitting-crochet.com/crochet/slisoc.html and dinked around with the size to make it fit a toddler. Then I found a penguin graph and fooled around with that to make it fit my reworked slipper sock. I tried different jacquard methods to work the varied colors into my design, but finally settled on making double yarn balls and carrying them loosely across the backside in a general outline and embroidering the facial features in later on.

As you can see, I also deviated from the original slipper sock pattern and worked my own slipper design in 2 pieces, working the toe and front foot section first so it is easier to embroider the facial features before finishing it up with the heel and ankle part; it worked better for me this way …

MOD Penguin Slippers. General outline design.
MOD Penguin Slippers. Embroidered facial features.

After the face was in place, I joined the slipper top at the center of the graphed penguin detail and finished the slipper, molding it to my scaled down version – I’m happy with the way it the slippers turned out :-D

MOD Penguin Slippers. Finished Design.

Here is my basic scaled down pattern. You can match a graph to it like I did if you like, or you can simply make it a plain slipper. I used double yarn throughout to make it a sturdier winter slipper. What I really like about this slipper is that it molds to the foot so there is no sloppiness as you walk - that is a good safety feature for children; especially toddlers ;-) But if you want added safety, just add a few drops of Puff Paint to the bottom and follow the package instructions for drying set up. The Puff Paint is available at Craft Shops like Joanns Fabric Store - it is spendy, but you won't need a lot.

MOD PENGUIN SLIPPERS – Toddler (6-1/2” foot)

Red Heart Supersaver yarn in these colors: Baby Pink (or color of choice); White, Black, Gold; size I crochet hook; small scrap of yarn for marker; scissors; tapestry needle

R1: Ch 2 – work 5 sc in 2nd ch to form a circle.
R2: Work 3 sc in each st across (15 sc). Start now to use a row marker.
R3: *2 sc in first sc/1 sc x2*; repeat around (20 sc).
R4: 2 sc in first sc, *sc x5, inc* around – end sc x6 (23 sc).
R5s thru 13: Work even (23 sc); end off with sl st if you use a graph.
If you didn’t use a graph, this instruction does not apply – just ch 10 and work as instructed in Rs14 thru 22.
R14: IF you ended off – Embroider features and then find the center of the face and attach yarn: ch 10 and work both sides of this chain as follows – sc in 9 ch/sc around foot to chain/sc in 9 ch (41 sc). You will turn work at each end now.
Rs15 thru 20: sc IN BACK LOOPS ONLY NOW around (41 sc).
R21: Begin decrease rows now – sc 18/dec/sc 1/dec/sc 18.
R22: sc 17/dec/sc 1/dec/sc 17.
R23: sc 16/dec/sc 1/dec/sc 16.

Turn work and turn inside out: sl st back seam closed. Because the slipper is small, it will be a tight fit to turn inside out for closure, and to pull the toe right-side-out again, but the yarn will spring back in shape.


That’s it! I hope you can understand my pattern. These slippers make up quick and easy once you set a pace ;-)
