For your feet! And guess what? These would go fabulously with the jacket in the last post.
Of if you’re in the mood to be an elf, here you go:
Or maybe you want something that’s just plain ugly:
Lots of options to keep those toes nice and warm while March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.

I mad elf slippers with bells on the toes for Thing 1 and Thing 2 and they are cute so I wondered why you disliked the elf slippers. Then I realized that, in addition to appearing adult sized, they are a lovely shade of baby poop. Frodo, take me away..

have you tried to find decent green yarn (esp. In bulky size) lately? Loads of shades in the pea soup/baby poop range is what I’ve found.

Then I must be lucky! I found myself a lovely Emerald green wool that I made a sweater out of. Just finishing the trim.

what? I love those elf slippers~!
March 9, 2011 at 1:21 pm
I love them too!!! Wanna make ‘em
March 9, 2011 at 11:30 pm
Count me in, too!
But I would want them in green or purple. I would also wear the bottom slippers, but without the flowers.

Me too, but in a color that doesn’t look like barf.

and a link back to the designer would be nice. considering the elf slippers are a pattern that the designer sells.
March 8, 2011 at 10:23 am
Hone those Google skills if anyone wants the pattern.

thanks, I love this pattern! so cute for fantasy fans
March 8, 2011 at 10:11 am
Wow, I actually got sick with this post.
March 8, 2011 at 11:09 am
OK, I have to be totally honest. The first and third ones, sure, they’re tacky, but if you’re ONLY wearing them around your own private home? Really, they’re cute enough as slippers go. Just imagine them with fun fur, and suddenly they seem downright sane.
Now, the elf ones. I have to say, it’s the *lack* of ornamentation that makes those ugly to me. If you’re gonna wear adorably tacky house slippers, go nuts! Embroider them with vines and leaves! Bells! Buttons! Pompoms!
March 8, 2011 at 9:13 pm
I absolutely agree! Great point.
March 8, 2011 at 11:28 am
I like the elf slippers too
March 8, 2011 at 11:42 am
I made those elf slippers in blue.
March 8, 2011 at 11:49 am
the elf slippers would look just fetching with the caftan!
March 8, 2011 at 4:30 pm
Actually, I’d like to see that
(Another vote for liking the elf slippers here)

Yet more proof that confirms ‘Colour IS Important’.
March 8, 2011 at 12:45 pm
These are too funny. Great for Halloween?!
March 8, 2011 at 12:50 pm
Some color combinations are just way too much… but also some patterns :p
March 8, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I really like all the slippers patterns. You just have to be able to [picture them in sane, solid colors. They look quick & easy to make too.
March 8, 2011 at 9:43 pm
Ok, the elf slippers are adorably silly and would be great for your favorite Link fan (Legend of Zelda).
March 12, 2011 at 3:58 pm
Aww, I sort of like them…in a “reminds me of my grandma” kind of way. Isn’t that why I started to crochet? b/c I like kitschy things? Sometimes I think it’s too easy to pick on hookers.
March 21, 2011 at 5:55 pm
I crocheted myself a pair of elf slippers (not that pattern, although I like it), but they’re green with bells and only come out on Christmas morning, along with my red-and-white stocking cap (also with bells).
April 11, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Love the Elf Slippers! Infact, they’re on my Ravelry to do list.

the top slippers would be great for a bad taste party … and fine for those who like slippers without any back part (not my thing – if u are going to cover your feet then cover your feet, not just half of them … but my DH (dear husband) would disagree – his scuffs are his favourite around the house footwear) … those colours are not to my taste though … but as long as they are done in colours the person wearing them likes … lol
The bottom pair are actually quite cute, in a grandma kind of way … I would wear those …
And – yes – I too LIKE the elf boots! … and I even don’t mind them in that baby poo colour (call it “mustard” and u can get away with it – lol) … but … WTF is with those numbers on the leaves?! … that totally weirded me out! LOL
