Slippers

I crocheted my first pair of slippers. Well, actually I made another single, ugly slipper, which didn't deserve to get a match. So I found a second pattern I liked better. The directions were honestly intimidating at first, but once I saw how it was coming together it seemed quite simple.  I did use the H hook, as recommended, and they turned out a little small on my feet (size 10), but they were for my mom, who has smaller feet.  I haven't heard a report, yet, if they fit well.

Here is the original pattern link at a site called "Around the Crochet Table."

And the directions in full:

Materials:
3 oz. Worsted Weight Yarn
Size H* crochet hook (for small adult/large child slippers)
 

Gauge:
7 dc = 2"; 2 dc rows = 1"
*To obtain a larger slipper, increase your hook size and gauge. 
For smaller slippers, use a size F crochet hook and sport-weight yarn.

Pattern Stitches:
2-tr cluster: keeping last loop of each stitch on hook, tr in next 2 sts; YO and pull through all 3 lps on hook.

3-tr cluster: keeping last loop of each stitch on hook, tr in next 3 sts; YO and pull through all 4 lps on hook.

Dc dec: keeping last loop of each stitch on hook, dc in next 2 sts; YO and pull through all 3 lps on hook.
