    Does anyone know where I can find a crochet pattern for mukluks (slipper socks)? I've found plenty of knitted ones, but I'm not a proficient enough knitter to do this.

    you mean between knit and crochet? Well knit you use 2 needles, crochet you use 1, that's the main difference... therefore the patterns are written entirely different.

    And no, sorry, I don't know where any crochet patterns would be, sadly - I only have a knit pattern.

    The mukluks I've seen are in the new Gypsy Rose catalog. Maybe I can figure out how to convert one of the knitted patterns to crochet. I'll be sure to post photos if I get it worked out.

    YBH - they are crochet, not knit... but I will try and find the pattern, and then see if there is one of those "convert to knit" buttons...

    Okay, so there wasn't one of those "convert" buttons, so it's still in crochet. I only vaguely followed the pattern as I used 2 strands of yarn for the soles instead of leather. I made a cutout of my foot, and then crochet a sole that fit the outline.
