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.)

Hi Petra,
I just stumbled across this pattern. Although I am a knitter I think I’ll give these a whirl and try my crocheting chops.
Thanks so much for sharing your lovely pattern.
Best! Amanda

I,m trying to learn to crochet slippers for small children.
I need to know how to get a pattern for different sizes of children’s slippers.
Can anybody help me ?
Fran
this pattern would actually be perfect for that. it’s really easy to reduce the number of stitches/rows to suit whatever size you need. like if you only did 5 or 6 rounds in the beginning and not so big and only did 5 or 6 rows.
ive been staring at slipper patterns for 12 hours now officially and trying them out and yours is the first to make sense all the way through to the end. thank you .
Petra hi!
I stumbled upon your pattern and couldn’t resist trying it out!
Ofcourse i wear size 5.5 so i had to make some adsjustments but here’s what i got!

They look adorable! Love them!

I’m a beginner but I want to try these slippers, will you please include how to add the straps:)thank you
Hi Ashley! You just make a strap and sew it to the slipper. Easy!
i just crochered these and they are awsome
I love your slippers thank you for sharing them, I am from Mexico city
thanks tons for the great tutorial. I’m so new at following instructions to crochet. Your instructions are perfect!
LOVE this slipper pattern! I made a pair in a snuggly rainbow sherbet variegated yarn. They’re my favorite slippers ever, I added a chain stitched a stretchy “shoe lace” threaded around the top and tied in a bow to keep them on my skinny ankles. One slight problem, my hubby tried them on (where was my camera …that would’ve been a great blackmail picture!) Now I have to make him a pair,and somehow “studly them up a little”. thanks for the nice pattern & awesome instructions. They WERE the easiest thing I’ve ever crocheted.
I’ve tried to make these cuties but I can’t seem to get past the 2nd round, I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Is it my hook or my yarn??????? HELP ME PLEASE, I want to make my mom a pair:o)
Me, too! I get to about row 14 and then I either have too many or not enough stitches. It would be great to have the number of chains notes that I’m supposed to have at the end of each row so that I can stay on track.
Hi, Im Jasmine from Penang, Malaysia. I would like to know whether ur shop in Malaysia or overseas cause im interested in Pink Mary Janes. Did u sell this? How much is this?
Hi Jasmine! I don’t sell the slippers, I only offer the pattern.

Hallo Petra,
bin nach der suche für Gehäkelte Pantoffel, auf deine Seite gelandet.
Ich bin begeistert von Ihnen.
Musste mir die Anleitung in Deutsch übersetzen.
Das ist auch mal ein außer gewöhnliche Geschenk.
DANKE: das du es im Internet veröffentlichst hast.
Liebe Grüße

Thank you for the pattern! Here are the slippers I made using it: http://pinterest.com/pin/221450506647239639/
i gree with one of the comments i saw. I was looking all day for slipper patterns and yours was the best all the way through complition, becuase i always got stuck half way through with other patterns. I also like the closing of the slippers. I hve now made two pairs of slippers.. and i even created my own pattern from the skeleton of yours..thanks Bunches!!!!
Dear Petra,
How would you adapt the number of stitches if using a size 3 crochet cotton yarn (takes a 3 mm crochet hook)? Would you, for example, start off with a 12 DC ring instead of 8 and make 33 DC on row 14 instead of 22?
Thanks!
My slippers came out huge, what brand of worsted yarn did you use? I used Red Hart acrylic worsted.

What Yarn wieght and hook size did you use???

I also would like to know what size hook and what weight yarn you used. These are sooooooooooo cute and I can’t wait to try them, and my foot is the same size as yours. Thanks!!
hi! I used worsted weight yarn and G (4mm) hook to make the slippers… enjoy!!!
Petra
I used your pattern and altered it a bit to form to my husbands feet…thanks!: http://nutterbuttersmith.blogspot.com/2012/05/after-short-hiatus.html
Hi,it might be stupid of me to ask but do I have to chain 3 in rounds 5-13?I’m a total beginner and this is my second project.I love these slippers and I would love to finish at least one:Ppleas ehelp.Oh and by the way to me you are a crochet guru:)
Hi Alex!
Thanks for the kind words!!!
You don’t do the ‘ch 3′ post in rounds 5-13 – all you do is continue working in following stitch (without ‘closing’ the previous round). Your work will grow in spiral and there will be no joining seam.
I hope it was understandable…
Happy crocheting!!!
Petra
Hi Petra!
Thanks so much!! I’ll do that.I have to start from the start with those slippers and I’m determined!!!I am I am:):)I love your website I’ll be coming back for more great patterns!
Thanks!
All the best!
Alex
thak you so much for sharing you pattern, i was searching for the patter and i love your patter simple and nice. thanks a lot.
Hi, I have a question about working in spiral. It seems to create a noticeable hole when I go from working around beginning with ch 3 to working in spiral. Am I doing something wrong or is it supposed to be like this?
Thanks!
I have the same. It has to be like that. Because I do 2 colours slippers, I leave this part with hole on the sole.
Other way u can do: 3 ch, 1 dc in the same (no hole), 2 dc together, then as Petra shows but I’m not sure about shape in this case. This is just idea.
Hi Petra. I just want to say I love u and this pattern. I’v made my first slippers and now I have to make theym a lot for all of my friends
Thank you so much!

Hi! I first off want to say this is such a wonderful pattern! But Im a little confused on row 22! i start increasing? Im sorry! Is there anyway you can clearify this for me! Im super excited to make these slippers! Thanks, Michelle
