Tank (Slippers) are Rolling In

EDIT: Because of copyright and respect for the creator of the pattern, I will not be sharing the pattern.  Please find the pattern on Etsy by Miligurumis (sometimes Mily takes a break from Etsy and this link goes dead but they usually reactivate in a couple of months so check back later)

It's has been over 6 months of work and procrastination to finish these master pieces.  Each Panzer Tank is made of about 30 different parts and they even have puffy paint traction on the soles for protection!  These are a gift for a friend using a pattern by Miligurumis, which can be found on etsy.  Made with a j hook and crocheted simultaneously with a black Caron Soft and Caron One Pound gave these slippers the bulk to be men's size 13.  Most of the tank was done with a combination of grey Red Heart and Caron Soft.



And just to put this in perspective, here are almost all the parts of ONE tank slipper, and some of them are already sewn together!

    1. My recommendation is to contact Mily directly on Etsy. I had some issues with my pattern at first too (my problem was with sizing, it was supposed to be size 13 men's shoe and turned out more like a size 8 women's shoe) She got back to me promptly with a revised pattern that worked perfectly! My memory of working on the sole section (7 years ago!) is that it's done similarly to a rectangular granny square, start with the center chain and work your way around. If you search for youtubes on rectangular granny squares that might help get you started. Best!
