Need to Do

Claws – make three for each footUsing white and 3mm hook

ch 2, 8 tc in 2nd ch from hook, join with slst in 1st tcCh 2, 8 tc, join with slst in 1st tc (8sts)Ch 2, tc in same st, 2 tc in next st, * 1 tc, 2tc in next st, rep from *, join with slst in 1st tc (12sts)ch 2, 12 tc, join with slst in 1st tc (12sts)ch 2, tc in same st, 2 tc in next st, * 1 tc, 2tc in next st, rep from *, join with slst in 1st tc (18sts)ch 2, 18 tc, join with slst in 1st tc (18sts)ch 2, tc in same st, 2 tc in next st, * 1 tc, 2tc in next st, rep from *, join with slst in 1st tc (27sts)ch 2, 27 tc, join with slst in 1st tc (27sts) fasten off.

Stuffing stoppers for the claws. Make 6 in same colour as claws.Using white and 3mm hook

Ch 2, 12 tc in 2nd chain from hook, join with slst in 1st tc

ch 2, 2 tc in same st, 2 tc in the next 2 sts, 3 tc in the next st * 2 tc in the next 3 sts, 3 tc in the next st, rep from * to end join with slst in 1st tc. (27 sts) Fasten off

Lightly stuff the claws. They don't all need to be identical, as long as they are roughly even they'll be perfect.

Using double crochet all the way round attach a stuffing stopper to the open end of each claw. This can be a little fiddly until you've done a few sts. Before you close the claw totally you might want to add a little more stuffing. Join with a slst in the 1st dc and fasten off.

Join the ClawsUsing white and 3mm hook

Page 3: Monster Feet

Line up three of the claws side by side. Where the circles meet slip stitch them together. I did 5 slip stitches to join two claws together, you may need more or less depending on how well stuffed your claws are. Hopefully the picture below helps explain how to join the claws:

FootUsing two strands of black held together and 4mm hook

Hold a set of three claws so the stuffing stoppers are upper most. Pick a stitch on the outside edge of one of the claws and join on the wool for the foot.

Ch 2, 1 tc in same st, 1 tc in each st until 1 stitch before the join between two claws.

You're going to treble 3 sts together at this point; the st before the join, the end of the joining dc and the st after the join. Once the treble 3 together is complete carry on with 1 tc in each st until you reach the st before the next claw join. Treble 3 sts together as before. Continue in this way all the way round. Join with a slst in 1st tc.

2nd Roundch 2, tc in same st, 1 tc in each st until one sts before tr3tog on last row, treble the next 3 sts together, carry on working 1 tc in each st until one stitch before the next treble and treble the next 3 sts together. Work in this way for the rest of the round, slst in 1st tc to join.

3rd roundrepeat 2nd round (43sts)

4th round work 1 tc in each st, join with slst in 1st tc5th - 12th – work as 4th rnd

(Sizing Note – These slippers were designed to fit a UK size 10, if you want to make them smaller work fewer rows than the 12 stated. You'll need to experiment a little to get the right number of rows for the intended foot.)

At this point you may need to fasten off. It depends where you joined the first st for the foot.

Lay the slipper flat and find the middle stitch. Count 6 sts to the right and join wool here. (still working double strand and 4mm hook) Once again, hopefully the picture below will make things clearer. The crochet hook on the left marks the middle stitch and the one on the right is 6sts along and this is where you join the wool for the next row.

making sure seam is on the inside slip stitch back seam together. Fasten off

AnkleJoin wool at back seam, ch 2, tc in same stitch, work 2 tc in each end tc and one tc in each of the sts across the front of the foot. Join with slst in 1st tc

Ch 2, 1 tc in each st all round, slst to join.

Work the above round 3 more times. Fasten off.

Roll the ankle down to the top of the first row of treble crochet. You're going to be working an elongated double crochet over the roll to secure it.

Starting at the back seam insert hook in between two treble crochet posts. Draw a long loop through, then yrh and draw through, there's now one loop on the hook. Insert hook through next space between two treble crochets, yrh, draw through, yrh and draw through all loops on hook. Continue in this manner until round is complete join with a slst and fasten off.

Position the toe pads two rows under the claws and sew in place. The heel pads get sewn in place on the row before the heel shaping.

Sew in any loose ends and your monster feet are ready to stomp!
