Desi Girl Kolahpuri Style Slippers :Free Crochet Pattern

 This is one of my favorite original designs so far. I absolutely love it because it defines perfectly what I want to do with my DesiMakes designs. It is a quintessentially Indian look and it is a fairly simple crochet pattern as well. I used some really bright colors which attract me immediately. The Kolahpuri chappals are something which I have worn a lot in India growing up. The weather in London is not that practical for wearing these outside for most of the year but they are perfect for house slippers. I will definitely make these again and probably add a sole of some kind so that I can wear these outside in the summer. I just used a pink DK yarn for this and it turned out perfectly well.
