Granny Square Slippers I crocheted

I was browsing through one of my favorite crafting websites, The Purl Bee and found a tutorial for Granny Square Slippers and just had to make them.  It definitely took some trial and error to put them all together but I made it happen and the next pair should be much easier.  The pattern says it will fit woman's shoe size 7- 9 1/2.  I am a size 8 and feel that they are a little big.  I may need to go down a hook size or just omit the single crochet that is added to each granny square before they are crocheted together.  I haven't figured it out yet but for some reason the slippers in the tutorial have more rounded corners than mine do.  Not that big of a deal but my pointy slippers look more elvish than they are supposed to I'm sure.

Granny Squares are so simple to make.  I learned how to crochet a traditional granny square by watching crochet videos by Teresa tjw1963. I love all of her videos.  She makes it so easy to learn crochet.  

Each slipper consist of six granny squares.  I could easily crochet several dozen granny squares in one day and then attach them all in a few hours. I think I may add some to my etsy shop.  We will see.
