First project

There was supposed to be a photo here, but my connection is messing up. Anyway I am making a pair of little "Car" socks for my son, inspired by his shoes which have proved to be conversation pieces where ever we go. I already made him little slippers at his request, for Christmas, now to turn them into cars and share the pattern so you will all have something to go on.

They ought to be quick and easy.

Prelim pattern for plain Slippers (make 2).

Chain 2
2nd chain from hook make 6 sc in that chain/loop.
2 sc in each sc (12)
*1 sc, 2 sc in next* repeat for whole round (18)
next 5 rounds just sc in each sc
chain 1 and turn
15 sc in each sc, chain 1 and turn
next 10 rows the same
finish off leaving a long tail to sew up heel OR sc Same sides together of the last row of 15 to make heel then Finish off.

Wheels (make 4)
Start with white, cream, or gray Chain 2.
2nd chain from hook, sc 10 then change to black
next round 2 sc in each sc (20)
