The Design

“Free crochet pattern for the 2017 LYS Tour!

These are the sturdy, crocheted, Moroccan-inspired cousin to our knitted Turkish Bed Socks! Ever since the Bed Socks were introduced in 2009, we’ve had requests for a crocheted version—and here it is! Designed for a worsted-weight yarn, they’ll hold up to all the promenading, puttering, marching, and moonwalking you do around the house.

We crocheted our Slippers in Rowan Handknit Cotton—a hard-working 100% cotton yarn. The plies are spun tightly together, creating a smooth, cool touch. Plus, this fiber is machine washable. So no worries if you step out of the house with your Slippers still on your feet!
