Cotton Slipper with Flip Flop Soles

[@MandosStudio]

Update to soles: I have actually updated this pattern by shoving the awl from the top out the side of the sole, leaving the bottom solid. It helps with the yarn not being walked on the bottom & wearing out quickly. Thx!

[@robinhowell9834]

Where do I find the revised video, or is there a video??

[@MandosStudio]

+Robin Howell I haven't made a revised video yet, just posted a comment on hee. Thx.

[@robinhowell9834]

Thank you.

[@grndmaw]

I was wondering if that could be done so they don't wear out on the bottom so fast, I haven't made them, but just thinking

[@lailar8195]

Can you make a video of how to do that even if it doesn't include the rest I don't know how to do thay

[@maryraley563]

You are the only other person I've seen who holds their yarn the way I do. I'm not alone! I attend a lot of indoor meetings that are casual dress. I think these would be great. Thank you!

[@Baddscorpio]

I made some into boots a few years back and would wear them out. I finished off the sides of the flip flop with a chain stitch that I glued around. Loved those things...

[@wandatyndall4163]

I actually made a pair of these today for my grand daughter, my own daughter sent me the link and went shopping for my supplies to have me make them for her... I've got seven pair to make now! Since I didn't watch the video through before making them, we didn't size down as suggested. I've made two strings of chain stitch and thread them in the top of the slipper. They will tie in a pretty bow towards the side, near the small toes area. What a wonderful video you've shared with us! I also used an awl bought from the seeing section at Walmart and I used the 45* angle so the yarn doesn't get walked on.

[@juliebest-gettings434]

Love this idea!!!!!!!! My 43 year old daughter asked me to make them for her.......great instructional video....can't wait to make a pair for myself too

[@emibennett1357]

Loved your video!! I also like how you specified on one less size to make them them feel more secure.Thank you.

[@elizabethmcandrew]

Great video - you are so clear in your instructions.

[@patriciateeters5565]

Forgot to say thanks for putting the shoes on and showing us how they actually look when worn. That helps a lot!

Thank you, thank you, and may I please comment on your teaching abilities, what a exceptional teaching ability you have. Exceptional. Very exceptional skill.

[@MandosStudio]

Ruth e thank you!

[@okat7]

This is an awesome tutorial! I tried a similar pattern from somewhere else, and got lost at the decorative toe. I can do this one! I love how patient and clear your instructions are. I would recommend this one, to understand the toe and heel decreasing part, as a beginner crocheter like myself, before venturing into a more complicated pattern. I love the simplicity! Thank you sooooo much. I think I will rip back to the first row on the sole, which was done with the slanted holes, thank goodness!

[@rebeccakelley6855]

Thank you for showing how to do this! I think I am going to do these for Christmas this year.

[@dianeporter2178]

I absolutely loved making this shoe with you! my legs and feet swell up so bad that I cannot get regular shoes on. With this pattern I can make my own! Thank you so much!

[@MandosStudio]

So glad you liked it!!! So easy and its flip flop weather again, so buy up a ton of them! :)

[@marial7135]

thank you for showing this it was very informational I like the way you explained I'm going to try this thank you

[@marciamcdaniel6395]

i made one and so far so good..i like the pattern. i used a small knitting needle to make the holes, thanks for sharing this pattern,

[@missjperez2472]

Hi, Love the idea!!!! Thanks for sharing !!!!

[@creamsodayoda]

You can use clear drying silicone to fill those holes. That way it will be clear and not poke you in the foot. That's also what I use on the bottom of my crochet footies.

[@MandosStudio]

Great tips!! Thanks!!!

[@mzjuicygq06]

You use just silicone as the sole? is this instead of attaching a sole?

[@creamsodayoda]

+mzjuicygq06 no I use the silicone to plug the holes.

[@mzjuicygq06]

+creamsodayoda oh ok. thank you.

[@mariann7941]

+creamsodayoda Great idea. Do you have a product name for that silicone?

[@mariann7941]

Great idea and well presented. I am going to make these for my 7 Operation Christmas Child boxes for this year. Thanks for the video.

[@MandosStudio]

I have actually updated this pattern by shoving the awl from the top out the side of the sole, leaving the bottom solid. It helps with the yarn not being walked on the bottom. Hope this helps with your outreach program! I think that's wonderful!!!! Bless you!

[@margaretjohn5934]

great teacher very clear instructions will try

[@fillimenabourassa8419]

Thank you so very much for this tutorial. You did a wonderful job. Easy to follow and you get right to it with out the long preamble some KZbinrs tend to do. Love Love Love it. I made a pair of these using your directions. The things I did differently: Used another pair of flip flops to cover crochet threads and give more cushion to the soles, I used E6000 glue to join them and secure plugs in bottom flip flop extending into top flip flop about 1/4 of the way. I used "Knitcrosheen" instead of yarn. After doing 3 rows of single crochet I used some different stitches to give a more interesting pattern to the upper. For intermediate and advanced crochet you should be able to improvise on the stitches used. I also added a strap across the arch section of shoe. Wish I knew how to attach a pic to this, but alas you will just have to use your imagination.

[@MandosStudio]

[@beckyhenley1404]

Like Jessica Mendes I wonder if you have tried going on up and making a bootie? It would be so cute for cooler weather and for wearing outdoors. Your top to side punching is a great idea to make them more weather proof. Your skipping repetitious parts is great. Good, clear instruction! Thanks!

[@chickenmom]

I just love this! I'm going to to try and do it. They are very cute.

[@annami6314]

[@zanetagrauzz213]

I made them but they fit big even though I bought a small size...but love the idea just need to practice thank you so much...love the tutorial.

[@carolcassidy5474]

I like they way you go thru the bottom of the sole instead of the side looks like there will be less tearing

[@SuperDiana4444]

very very nice. you did a great job. thank you,

[@mollymac527]

I love this tutorial and I love that you have updated it to put the holes on the side of the flip flop (can't wait to see the updated video too!) I am curious, how long does a pair typically last you? I didn't see any comments about this and I'd love to be able to share this with anyone that make these for- I am loving these! Living in Las Vegas- we are a flip flop happy community! :) thanks!! Molly

[@MandosStudio]

Molly Mac thank you! I'm still wearing both pair. The first pair is showing wear on the yarn on the soles but still intact. Theb2nd pair with holes on the sides, going great. I wear them as slippers around my home, letting dog out, etc. so far so good! Going on a year now!

[@patriciateeters5565]

Thanks so much for sharing. You teach well. Quick, simple, and easy to get supplies that don't cost too much. Such a fun and useful project. Great video. I was wondering if a person were to get Shoe Goo, I think that is what it is called, and just sort of brushed it on over the yarn on the bottom of the shoes, maybe that would keep the yarn from wearing out so quickly and make it a bit water proof for walking outside. Just a thought. Thanks again for the great tutorial. Oh, I have purchased the Shoe Goo in the shoe department at Walmart for shoe repair.

[@MandosStudio]

Thank you! If you read through comments I posted an update to punch holes in an angle out the side of the sole. That's my revised version of this pattern. Just haven't done the tutorial update :) happy hookin :)

[@MandosStudio]

Molly Shadows aw I’m glad! There is a revision video on the sole. Pole your holes at a 45 degree angle out the side instead of to the bottom. Elevates the yarn wear issue.

I need this slippers are out of season...flip flops aren't and my daughter won't sleep without shoes I have to sneak them off after she falls asleep and some nights she wakes up to me taking them off and Lord help me if she wakes to that lol...slippers is my only hope but got the it's a season thing omg I wanted to crawl in fetal pissition at Walmart on the spot...I finally had a solution to this chaos and nope can't get them now...ugh! so I was trying to find a way to make slipper patters nonslip and nothing seems like it would last or would work...this is brilliant now to find her size flip flops and cheap like the adult kind...ty

[@candjball1953]

I used an old pair of crocs to make these. One way to avoid the holes that are in flip flops.

[@MandosStudio]

awesome!! Comfy too~!

[@littlestar6224]

Superb

[@LeahsTT]

Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to transforming my flip flops. Altough in Australia we call them thongs!

[@jessicaminges8796]

i love this! could you do one where you use flip flop bottoms but instead of stopping at 9, keep going into like a boot type slipper?

[@nadiaverbeeck6109]

I'd use a size "G" for the "second" part, the base of the shoe, (not the sole, there I also used an "I") as opposed to an "H". But that's personal preference. I also poked the base holes of the sole closer together. Nice video, thanks !

[@lendavoice60]

Very beautiful .

[@shirleyfrazier4019]

wow ! thanks sooo-much much for sharing you are a good teacher what kinda glue are you using thanks again

I made this and they are really made to fit to size because my feet are somewhat skinny and when I was done I could have got a whole nother foot in it.

[@renewilliams741]

Hi love pattern any suggestions to keep them from slipping off of the back of your hill?

[@kathylacy3210]

construction glue for the plugs & nail and wood block for the holes!

[@lance3665]

Thanks for the video.

[@LyndaThomasflymefree54]

I think an outdoor glue or rubber glue is better and just use the thin part and plug. Those bottoms bits are notoriously falling off. That Aileens would never last. It's not made for that. Love the project. You should reinforce your yarn with outdoor glue on soles also or cover with a piece of rope round edge to cover yarn .

[@molliewhite-evans473]

I put hot glue on my bottom stitches to prevent the yarn from wearing out..

[@princesspoptart8151]

WHY have I never thought of this!?

[@melissaRoseCraftyCove]

I am making some and when I do the holes I do them differently as to where there will be no yarn on the bottom of the sole. I'm afraid I will get them caught on something and trip lol my dumb luck.

[@mercy_leo]

lyk it..innovative ideas..

[@preetseemasachdeva3758]

I also want to know how to make slippers on slippers the ones like bathroom slippers which have a flat sole and just enough cover for the toes.

[@donyaw.1453]

Love these. I was wondering if you have a pattern on making them as just a slip in slippers- no back. I'm looking to do slippers like that with the flip flop sole but can't find a pattern/tutorial.

[@MandosStudio]

I do not...but you could always just start them at the side and work back and forth to make just the toe part!

[@nicoleromich8157]

i work at walmart and picked up two pairs tonight to work on in the car ride tomorrow

[@MandosStudio]

[@rosteve3872]

Hi. and thanks. I know the pattern or info has been changed for the placement of the hole to an angle on the side and top. my question is does it last longer? cause many have complained that it is easier to tear through the holes in the side. especially if it's the thinner flop flop

[@MandosStudio]

Yes they do! :) mine are a year old & mine are still going strong

[@rosteve3872]

Thank you and your video is great.

[@melaniehorn2056]

Here is what I am going to do....I am going to use two pair of flip flops. I'm going to put holes through one pair and make the slippers then I am going to glue the second pair to the bottom to cover the stitches. :)

[@lilcntrycowan8723]

THANK YOU!!! AGAIN I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@MandosStudio]

The yarn does last longer....but I'm with you...IDK how much longer vs the other way. Ive made both, wearing both and both are still going strong!

[@barbaracohen2551]

Quick question: By having the stitches going all the way through--do you "wear-out" the connecting stitches especially if you go outside? Is there something you can put on the bottom to give them more life?

[@MandosStudio]

Barbara Cohen there is a revision video on a better way to do the sole. By poking holes at a 45 degree angle out the side of the flip flop sole. Look for it in my videos! Thx

[@TheMrsyork28]

I started making some for my mother in law and had her try it on but of course it's too big do you have any ideas to add something to make the back shrink without re- doing it?

[@chcnurse]

I think it would add to the longevity of the shoe if you started your holes from the middle of the side of the sole at an angle up through the top of the sole. There will be no yarn on the bottom of the sole.

[@MandosStudio]

Cynthia Singh yes In my revised video, I go through the side :)

[@aigatone7048]

im gona make ones for myself. if ill be wearing them outdoors for the summertime should i use a different yarn to keep them from wearing down? some strong synthetic or other? what would u recommend?

[@sherisdoodles-5854]

Another tutorial I watched showed the initial guide holes being punched through at an angle so that your yarn is not on the ground.

[@MandosStudio]

+Sheri Watkins yes exactly. I posted a comment awhile back with a revised pattern mentioning the angle approach.
