I am an addict.
An addict for crochet slippers.
It all began when I saw slippers similar to these somewhere on the internet.
I loved them so much I couldn’t get their tempting image out of my head.
All I needed was a pattern.
But because I am terribly, terribly impatient, I found creating my own pattern quicker than looking for an official one on the web.
And since I’m no crochet guru, the pattern turned out to be really simple.
Actually, these slippers might be the simplest slippers in the universe.
Or not.
But they might.
This is what I did…
Round 1: 5 ch (chain stitch); join into ring with sl st (slip stitch)
Round 2: 3 ch; 7 dc (double crochet stitch) into the center of the ring; join with sl st
Round 3: 3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch; 2 dc into each next stitch; join with sl st
Round 4: 3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch; 2 dc into each next stitch
Round 5 – 13: (continue crocheting in spiral); 1 dc into each dc
Row 14: turn (!); 3 ch; 1 dc into second stitch from hook; make 20 dc (1 dc into each next dc)
Row 15 – 21: turn; 3 ch; 1 dc into second stitch from hook; continue 20 dc (1 dc into each next dc)
Row 22: turn; 3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch from hook; continue 21 dc (1 dc into each next dc); another 1 dc into last stitch
Row 23 – 25: turn; 3 ch; 1 dc into second stitch from hook; continue 22 dc (1 dc into each next dc)
Row 26: turn; 3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch from hook; continue 23 dc (1 dc into each next dc); another 1 dc into last stitch
Row 27 – 28: turn; 3 ch; 1 dc into second stitch from hook; continue 24 dc (1 dc into each next dc)
Finish off and weave in the ends.
Fold the end in half and sew it together.
Make sure it’s turned like shown in the picture – with the seam finally facing inward.
Done.
Now for the edging:
Tie a yarn of the same or different color to the edge of the slipper.
That will make our first ‘stitch’.
Make 2 chain stitches.
Then make 1 single crochet into the next bigger (as I call it) ‘hole’.
Then make 1 chain stitch.
Continue this pattern (1 single crochet stitch; 1 chain stitch) along the edge of your slipper.
Finally, make 1 slip stitch to join with the first stitch.
Finish off end weave in the ends.
And this is it.
You can adorn these slippers with colorful buttons, flowers or even crochet swirls.
I really hope you’ll find as much passion in making them as I have.
And for your inspiration, here are a few more crochet slippers that I’ve made:
Enjoy, dear friends.
Love,
Petra
(Oh, one important thing! These slippers were made to fit my feet, which are size 40 – Europe / 6.5 – UK / 9 – US. To adjust the size of these slippers to your feet you may need to change the number of rounds between the round 5 and 13 and the number or rows between the row 15 – 21 of this post. AND… I used worsted weight yarn and G – 4 mm hook to make the slippers.)

I am using the pattern similar….however I HDC and used two strands of worsted weight yarn…turned out BEAUTIFUL and squishy..thank you for the wonderful pattern
Hi Petra,
I hope this will be my only question. I just made one of these for my daughter and it’s pretty big. Is it because i crochet with a loser stitch? I think I remember seeing somewhere how you suggest to make the size smaller but now I can’t locate it. Would you be able to remind me?
Thank you,
michelle
Does anyone know what it means by 1 dc and 2 dc? I understand that dc means double crochet, but what about the numbers? Thanks!
It is the number of stich. i.e. 1 dc means to one double crochet, 2 dc means do two double crochets etc.
Bunny
I am sure going to try these slippers. Wish me luck
I love you site.
Thanks a lot for all the posts.
Hello! How can I increase the size? Do I start out with a bigger chain for the circle “toe” part?
Round 14
3 ch
1 dc into second st from hook
make 20 dc
( 1 dc into each next dc)
Could you explain this to me… new at reading people instructios Thank You so much!!
Hi! I have made these for my sons and my mother. My foot is narrow. Can I just crochet up to the 4th row and make them longer from there? I think this would keep them narrower for me? What do you think?
C O M P L E T E and T O T A L A W E S O M E N E S S!!!
Mine turned out different lol and don’t ask me how LOL… I had a hard time understanding some of the pattern, if I want to make it smaller do I start out with let chs and dch or just use a smaller hook ? Thank You, and I only got the left one made now I hope I can match it LOL LOL LOL
Oh… It would be great if you could video yourself making this slipper : )
Keeping socks on your baby’s feet is no simple task. One little kick, a tug at the toes and they’re off. And of course it’s always one sock from every pair that gets lost!.

I found your pattern as I was looking for simple slippers for an adolescent to make who is just learning to crochet. Thank you for sharing your pattern. The slippers are so charming and versatile that I will make some of them myself. The pattern is so simple and straight-forward with a fast and attractive result that I am sure the youth will want to make many of them. You provided an excellent incentive for learning and the way you presented it will be easy to follow. Thank you again for sharing and making it accessible to low budget situations.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…I have been looking for a simple slipper crochet pattern for so long..Now I have found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
