There are some great tutorials on the internet if you need to brush up on your skills beforehand. You need to have a basic knowledge of Crochet before class as we will need all of our time to try to complete this project.

What you need to bring: 
  • scissors
  • 5 mm crochet hook (this can be ordered through the store ahead of time)
  • 3.75 mm crochet hook ( this can be ordered through the store ahead of time)

  • a row counter or a pen or pencil and note pad (to keep track of your rows)
  • a yarn needle
All the yarn and the pattern will be supplied

This pattern makes an adult sized pair of slippers, but can easily be changed to make smaller sized slippers for all those little ones on your Christmas list that are Minion crazy!
