Ok so I absolutely LOVE how these turned out. I started with the slippers to match an adorable outfit (pictured above) we got for Kaia. After I finished the slippers I realized she had to have a matching headpiece. I absolutely love how well they turned out.
For the pattern for the slippers see the Ballet Slipper Pattern I posted in an earlier blog.
For the headband pattern go to the following link: Ribbon Headband
Here is the pattern for the bow used on the slippers:
Ch 7, turn
hdc 2nd rom hook and continue across
Ch 1, turn, hdc in nx 2 sts, ch 2, skip 2 sts, hdc nx 2 sts
Ch 1, sc around (3 in each corner)
Tie off (leave a long tail)
When you tie off use the long tail to wrap around the center of the bow to bunch it up. Then sew the bow to the slipper.
(You might be wondering why I did the ch 2 and sk 2 sts in the middle of the bow. The original pattern had that whole row as hdc. I however find that by omitting these 2 stitches and leaving a small hole allows the bow to be a little more flexible when you bunch the middle together and makes for a nicer looking bow.)
