I was all the way to the end when I realized there is an error in the pattern. It was way too small for a size 5/6. Where it reads for " Size 3/4 only" it should read 5/6 only . Who ever made the pattern is increasing for a larger size. I had to take it all out and start over from rnd 6.

Oh, I remember the Pound Puppy craze back in the day. These little puppy slippers remind me so much of the one that I adopted. I am not familiar with Pehntex slipper yarn. Exactly what is it and how is it different from just regular yarn. I dont remember ever seeing it in any of my local stores. Where could this be purchased?

How can you look at this and not want to make it ? That face is precious. My grand kids will love getting them. And I can change colors and each one will get a different one. I know they will be thrilled and since the pattern is easy I will be thrilled to make them.

I've reached the end of one slipper and can't figure out how it all fits together. Is there a video tutorial I could view?

These are cute. Anyone have any idea how to adjust this pattern for larger sizes? My niece who is an adult would love a pair, but I don't know how to enlarge. Any help would be appreciated!

NOT CHILDREN'S. I was so excited to find this pattern because it said child's size 3/4 and I was looking for slippers to make for my 8yo. I'm about halfway through the 1st one, tried it on her and it's WAY too small!
