part 1 How to crochet my easy petite baby converse style slippers

How to crochet my easy petite converse style slippers is my first of a set of my easy crochet converse style slippers. Larger sizes will be published soon. My new twist to the popular slipper is buttons. The pattern is exactly the same, the only difference is the choice of laces or buttons :)
Thank you to everyone who watches my videos, thank you for the likes, subscribing and sharing, I hope you have lots of fun with these.
I have broken the pattern down into sections because I found that is the easiest way to follow my instructions.

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it’s the best I have tried, I almost gave up until I found you. The first time I haven’t dropped a stitch or gone wrong. Thank you

[@brendacreamer-qb1pz]

Very easy to follow and lovely booties , thanks Karen

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

Thank you 😊

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

You did this video long ago but I want to share with others you are right about working both shoes together: not finishing one then starting over again. I find best to do two at a time, also. Tension can change a bit from one day. And, I find it’s dreadful completing one then starting over w another. sometimes I can’t finish both in one day due to outside interferences. I enjoy listening to your suggestions on crocheting, Karen. Great tutorials!

[@donnahutchinson5392]

I do also.. my tension varies mostly when I have to put down my work and come back. I love you tutorials. I am fixing to a great, great, auntie to another neice. So I am crocheting away. You keep up the good work.

[@andydevonport6853]

Hi karen . I have just made the converse shoe and with your step by step video I did it. Thank you so much and you do not talk to much.

[@andreawilson615]

I find your videos so helpful and making some of your booties for presents thank you for making it so enjoyable for me

[@ninaamorymbong1981]

Wow this is really easy to follow! I love how I can crochet along while watching without having to pause the video!

[@HortonzEgg]

Thank you Karen! I've made a few pair of these sneakers and they're adorable. You mentioned that they're floppy at first. I found that by making a back post half double crochet around the stitch instead of a back loop single, the shoe holds its shape better. Thanks again!

[@margaretroderick6956]

Thank you. You're the best! Can't follow anyone else's written patterns but yours! If you decide to publish a book I'm a customer. Tutorials are fantastic. Please don't stop.

[@denisepotter1216]

Thank you so much Karen for sharing this brilliant tutorial I have been asked to make these so many times but didn't think I could. I love making them and love the way you describe what to do xx

[@diannaweaver7624]

I made tennis shoes last year for sale on facebook and ended up mixing and revising the pattern/s i found available in tutorials to come up with the look i wanted, I must tell you that your converse style are fabulous! I love the double sole idea to give the bottoms more durability ( I've always used a 4 1/4 mm hook). I'm going to give your pattern recipe a try! thank you for your video and i'm going to go see what other videos you may have available now. :)

[@ashleyg5088]

thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. My friend is having a baby and I wanted to make her some things but didn't know how to crochet. By watching your videos and a cpl by some other crocheters, I was able to teach myself. I just completed the petite converse and they turned out perfect!

Karen, thank you so so much for doing a video 1,2 and 3. You make the most wonderful videos that are so easy to follow along with, and I am making my first pair. You are a joy to watch.

[@petrahorzelenberg5410]

So happy I found this tutorial 🤗 all the others are too big and you gave the best advice by sectioning video, for making both shoes at the same time 💓 to be exact same

[@lindauterstaedt452]

I made one of the slippers just to see if I could do it and it came out great, Thank you for your video I will be watching a lot more of them.

[@mumfymam]

Hi Karen, I have made these ones one with laces and one with buttons, everyone loves them and they are so dinky! Thank you so much for sharing and allowing us to make such great footwear for baby or doll and upwards. :)

[@karenscrochetchannel5034]

[@mumfymam]

Haha you go for it chick, I look forward to seeing the difference :)

[@xxogprogamerxxx4692]

I absolutely love your video! Easy to understand, plus I love your saying “ whoops a daisy” I used to say that to my grandkids when they were little.

[@Sweetpence]

Karen I have gone through several tutorials for the converse sneakers and though I do like a lot of them.....yours are my favourites.

Thank you so much for making these and sharing them. I have a lot of trouble reading crochet patterns so watching your tutorial video allows me to easily follow along. I have watched a lot of KZbin videos and crocheted different things but I have to tell you that I very much enjoyed your conversation throughout these videos. I also enjoyed hearing about the granny square and look forward to finding that video of yours as well. Thanks again.

[@lizbeth7t]

Thank you so much for this lovely pattern. I had just purchased a similar pattern, but love this one. I did make one small change in the special line that goes around the sole of the shoe in contrasting color...I decided to slip stitch around and it made it a bit sturdier as well. Your tutorials are detailed and very well explained. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. Best, Liz G from Massachusetts USA. P.S. I love your accent :)

Hi Karen. Have recently taken up crocheting again after many years. Discovered your videos and they are absolutely brilliant. The little converses are so CUTE!!!!!!!!!. Your explanations are so clear and you hold the hook and yarn the same way I do, so even easier to follow. You are doing a fantastic job. Look forward to crocheting some of your other little booties.

Hi Karen, Just finished making these booties while following your videos. I just love them. Thank you for posting these and doing such a great job of it too. I think you should put together a written pattern book for all the sizes for your family as an heirloom...but I would love a copy myself. Let me know if a pattern book is ever available and how much it costs. Thanks again, Cheryl Ailshire

YOUR AMAZING!!!!

[@marciamurray2349]

Thank you for these videos. I'm an experienced knitter, but not so much with crochet, I found your instructions clear and easy to follow. Your history of converse was very interesting too. I would like to make more of these but in bigger sizes, is there a pattern to give number of stitches etc. Once again thank you .

[@TheRebornhobby]

wow!!!!!!!!!! i am going to crochet with you soon !!!

[@raelshodges8949]

Hi Karen .. Love these tutorials and have made a couple pair already and wanting to make more .. I seem to have a problem with the soles .. I'm new to crocheting other than the basic granny square ... Some soles turn out ok but others I'm missing stitches or ending up around the bottom of the heel when it comes to slip stitching at the end of the round... I have pulled them undone and started again numerous times .. I'm counting carefully but not sure if I'm putting my hook in the right place if that makes sense ..lol .. I too have some "vintage hooks" as you called them but recently purchased some with rubber grips which I now prefer .. The 4mm match so I can only assume they are all the right size as the vintage sizing

Hi Karen, thank you so very much for the Petite Converse pattern. I love it! The video was wonderful and I enjoyed the history of the Converse. I do have one question. I can't figure out which stitch to attach the second sole to. I made them in cotton thread black and white, size G needle. They turned out adorable but I can't get the second sole on. Video was a little fuzzy. Thanks again for all you do!

My granddaughter Chevron cardigan's, a dress and. Now I will be making you're beautiful converse for my granddaughter. These first pair that I have made are going to hang on my hand bag. I had already decided to make them both at the same time. For my first pair I think I've done okay. Wanted to show you a picture of them. My granddaughter feet measure 6 inches at the moment. Do you have a video at all for this size.please. if not how many stitches should I start of with and what size crochet hook please.
