Ninja Turtle slipper socks free pattern

>>>Click here for Dutch<<<

My kid wanted slipper socks (okay, so I'm just translating it from Dutch, I don't know how English speaking people call them..), and mommy diggs a challenge so my brains had to work in a creative way. And I have to say, the result is stunning ;)

And offcourse I'll share my pattern with you guys!



I made these slippers for a kid with shoe size european size 30 (12 in US, 11 in UK), the pattern is for that size. When you want to make a larger or smaller size you'll have to make the start chain longer or shorter. But make sure you measure the right size (see image 1)

If you follow the diagram start at round 4.

With green:
Ch 16 + 3 to turn (this one count as first-child double crochet) placeholder stitch marker in the 3th chain from hook.

Round 1: 14 dc, 4 dc in last st, do not turn but crochet on the other side of the chain.
14 dc and in the chain with the stitch marker 4 dc, join with slst.
Round 2: ch 3, 13 dc, 2 dc in next 6 st, 13 dc, 2 dc in next 5 st and 1 dc in the last st before the ch 3, join with slst.
Round 3: ch 3, 12 dc, *2 dc in the next st, 1 dc in the next st* repeat in total of 6 timer,  2 dc in next st, 12 dc,  *2 dc in next st, 1 dc in the next st* repeat in total of 6 times, 1 dc in the st before the ch 3, join with slst.

!.Now always start in the same st as the ch 3 and join in the first dc, not in the ch 3.!

Round 4: (in back loop only)
Ch 2 (does not count as first dc), dc around (61 st), join with slst.
Round 5: (from now in both loops) 
Ch 2, 8 dc, *dcr 2 dc, 1 dc* repeat in total of 11 times, dcr 2 dc, dc to end, join with slst.
Round 6: ch 2, 6 dc, *dcr 2 dc* repeat in total of 13 times, dcr 2 dc, dc to end, joint with slst.
Round 7: ch 2,  4 dc, *dcr 2 dc* repeat it total of 9 times, dc to end, join with slst. Bind off.

With red, orange, purple or blue:
Row 1: Ch 10 and join on the lef slipper direct above the bind off in the back loop. For the right slipper count 13 st from the bind off across the back of the slipper and join in the back loop. Sc crochet across and st the last st in the front loop 1 sc, ch 10.

Row 2: ch 2, turn, dc in every st.  
Row 3 + 4: Repeat Row 2, at the last row bind off en weave in threads.

Now you'll have 2 flaps on the sides of the slippers, put both flaps on each other in a cross and wind a piece of yarn in the same color around the flaps.
