MAN Slippers ROBUSTUS

I love to crochet for my man and these warm and comfy slippers are "simply perfect" for his man-sized feet (UK Size 11.5)

These crochet man slippers use my favourite crochet stitch "front post double crochet" and "back post double crochet" which makes the construction of these slippers very sturdy hence the name I have given them "ROBUSTUS".

Handmade with a 100% aran yarn and a H-8 (5mm) hook they work up quite quickly, so you can make a pair of man slippers for the man in your life within 24hrs.

ROBUSTUS Man Slippers not only look great on men, but also look great on women, so don't miss out, go ahead and make yourself a pair as well. See photo below and in other photos mine are the smaller pair of slippers.

Approximate measurements range from 9.5in to 11.5in in length and 3.75in to 4.75in wide.

You will be able to make slippers in varying sizes by adjusting the row counts and/or the stitch counts, allowing you to easily adjust the length and the width of the slipper to match your foot measurements.

Go ahead have a play, and have some fun!
