1. Off White (VS122) CA
2. Sage (VS119) CB

Crochet Hook Used For Pattern
Depending on the size you want to make you will need either a 5.5mm [US-I] or 6mm [US-J] crochet hook for this project. Of course, you may need to change that size to achieve gauge, but you can start there. See futher information below in the gauge section.
After testing numerous brands of crochet hooks, I’ve narrowed down my favorites. Below, you’ll find my top picks, ranked from least to most expensive.
$
Clover Soft Touch Amour crochet hooks are my absolute favorite! Their comfy, soft handles make long crochet sessions a breeze.
$$
For just slightly more money, Etimo Tulip Crochet hooks are another winner in my book. With their cushioned, ergonomic handles and smooth hooks, they make crocheting with any kind of yarn super easy.
$$$
For those of you who like to splurge, Furls Crochet hooks are beautiful hooks made from resin, wood, and metal. Their ergonomic design and polished surfaces make each stitch smooth and effortless. Treat yourself to these elegant hooks for a truly premium crochet experience.
Additional Supplies Needed
The only other thing you will need is a yarn needle to weave in the ends. My favorite yarn needles are made of metal, they are easy to slide through any yarn. I like the Susan Bates option below.
Finished Measurements
For sole:
Small (Shoe Size 5-6): 3.5” x 9” long
Medium (Shoe Size 7-8): 3.75” x 9.5” long
Large (Shoe Size 9-10): 4” x 10” long
Gauge For Pattern
See below for the specific gauge depending on which slipper size you are making. Gauge is incredibly important to have a proper size beanie. Be sure to check gauge before beginning and adjust your hook size as necessary. The slippers do stretch quite a bit so err on the side of it being smaller than larger if you can’t make specific gauge.
Medium and Small: 4”= 12 SCs and 16 rows
Large: 4” = 12 DCs and 7 rows
