How to Crochet Slippers for Men
Men's crocheted slippers work up quick and easy, and are always appreciated. Most styles use one skein of worsted weight yarn or two skeins of fingering/baby yarn, and a single stitch throughout. Each of these men's crochet slipper patterns feature simple stitches and minimal shaping so that you can easily finish up a pair in an evening of watching television.
