Thick Adult Female Slippers, approx. Size 6 (Part 1)

 These slippers were made for a friend, and since patterns rarely turn out how I expect, I just made up my own. Every new pattern takes some trial and error, and for something that involves a pair, I had to write it down. I documented the process in photos as well in hopes of providing guidance.

These slippers are fairly small, about a size 6 in my stitching, made to fit the person they are for. My feet are larger so I can't model them to see what they look like on. Next time I make larger ones I will post those as well.

Getting Started

Materials:

I used Bernat Premium Yarn (available at Walmart), in a light grey, with white and red as accent colours. The red is Red Heart just because that's what I had. You can use whatever colour combo you'd like.
Crochet Hook: 5.5mm
You'll also need scissors and a yarn needle. A measuring tape may also be helpful to determine if your slippers will be a similar size.

Legend:
ch - chain
st - stitch(es)
sl st - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
hdc - half double crochet
fpdc - front post double crochet
fpdc2tog - front post double crochet 2 stitches together
bldc - double crochet in back loop

You should have something that looks like this, and for gauge, mine is about 6 and 3/4 inches:
