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! I am just wondering on the Rnd 5-13 how you know when your on 13? Or how you know your done? Just count the spirals?? I’m struggling
Loving the pattern though!
Thanks!
Anjelica
Yes, you count the circles, you can mark the beginning of each circle with a safety pin to know where you are.
Petra
what size needle did you use?
and I dont understand the 2dc into each of the next stitch
I made these for some last minute christmas gifts –
you use a size G or 4mm hook.
The 2dc into each of the next stitch is 2 double crochets in each of the next stitiches because you are increasing. I am pretty new at crocheting and my slippers turned out great. It’s a great pattern, wonderful of her to share with us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! These really are the easiest slippers in the world to make. Your pattern really saved my hide! I wanted to make a cute pair of slippers as an early Christmas gift, but following a different pattern they didn’t even turn out slipper shaped! I only had about 8 hours until I met with my friend, so this pattern was a life-saver, not to mention super cute!
How wonderful! I just loved your easy pattern.
Thank you so much. So quick and easy…!!!!
I am always trying to find something to keep my feet warm and these look like just the right thing. Can’t wait to get started.
Wonderful pattern – have done knitted ones, but no crochet, and this looks supereasy even for a beginner. Thank you !
Thank you….I am just starting to crochet again so I am looking for assortments of items to do..
What can you do to make them non-skid? Looking forward to making.
Hi, I found a website for a company called Herrschners that is located in Canada. They have a liquid and a template so that you can add your own rubber non-stick designs on the bottom of socks. I’m sure they would work for slippers as well. Their address is http://www.herrschners.ca and they do ship out of country. Hope this helps.

Your slippers rock! Easiest pattern I ever saw. The pictures speak a thousand words. They make the instructions easy to understand.
I love those slippers☺.
this is great. thank you so much. Do you have any more patterns like this? The pictures are great. They make it even easyer. Thank you si much.
I love the pattern and am looking forward to making come the first of the year! I would like to make a suggestion on the finishing in the red color. Instead of crocheting from right to left, how about doing the reverse crochet? I haven’t done it yet but I think that’s how I am going to finish mine off.
These are the cutest slippers I’ve seen yet! What makes them even more terrific is that you can probably make them in no time. Thank you so much for posting! You are ingenious!
Love the pattern! So easy and super cute. I added some puffy fabric paint to the bottom of mine to make them non-skid and they are PERFECT! Thanks for the pattern
Thank you for this! I can’t wait to make these – we have a no shoe rule in our house, which is troublesome when we have visitors, but maybe if I made some of these it would be easier.
Thanks!
on round 4 it said “3 ch; 1 dc into first stitch; 2 dc into each next stitch”….do i have to make 3 ch before doing the 2 dc into each next stich
you do 3 ch, then 1 dc in the same stitch, then 2 dc in following stitch.
petra
ummm….What size needle???
G hook (4 mm).
Sooo mine didnt come out like yours but whatevs. so you do 3 ch. then 1 dc in that one then you do 2 dc in all the other stiches???
In row 5-13 it doesnt mention the 3 ch at beginning of each row. Do i skip that part and just continue around w the dc? Thank you!
yes kirsten, exactly. p
You’re amazing!!!
thanks a lot Petra
I made a pair of my friend and she just loved it a lot <3
Thanks for the pattern, I made one for a friend as a bday/xmas present
I changed the sole a bit because it was too pointy and added a hand cut and sewn faux-leather dahlia flower on the right slipper 
Here’s a sneak peek: http://instagr.am/p/aryUB/
Amazing! Love it!!!
Petra
These are so cool! I’m into crochet too, although still beginnner-intermediate level. I will give these a go! Thanks for sharing!
Hi
i love this pattern! it truly is the easiest slipper pattern to make. my only problem is that they are too loose around the top edge. can you give me some tips on how to tighten them please?
thanks kerry
Hi Kerry! Glad you like them. Try to make the border of only sc stitches instead of doing sc plus chain stitch border. that might help. Petra

I love how easy this pattern is. I am a complete beginner at crochet and even I was able to make a cute pair of slippers! Thanks for posting this with pictures. It made all the difference
I am a size 6.5 foot (US) and I’ve tried about 4 different versions of these slippers, but I can’t seem to find a way to make the slipper narrow enough. As you said, I skipped some rows in 5-13 and 15-21 but the only thing this does is make the slipper shorter. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Jada! What about starting the whole slipper with less stitches? I think that could work just fine!
Petra
Hey I´m from Denmark and i think your slipper are very fine. Have you made som for kids? mine are 6 and 7 years old and i would like to make som for them…Heidi
How do you make the cute flowers?
Made another pair for a friend (xmas/bday gift) – candy cane crochet slippers
http://i52.twitgoo.com/149bbcl.jpg She adores them x)
(I’m still having some trouble figuring out what kind of sole works best for me, but I think the third pair will be the way I want it…)
These are just extremely amazing and cute. You are doing an incredible job! Well done!!! Love them! Keep more comin’.

at the end of Decemeber, i taught myself the basics of crochet, and found your slipper pattern. then just this past saturday (two days ago) a friend taught me the double crochet stitch, and i’ve made a pair of these for my younger daughter and me… and this coming weekend, i’ll be making a pair for my older daughter! this is a very easy pattern for a beginner. thanks for posting it! =)
Hi! I love these slippers and they are super easy to make, but I’m an newbie to crocheting. How exactly am I supposed to do Row 14. I’m confused by the part that says turn(!) and 20 dc (1 dc into each next dc).
Never mind. I’ve got it figured out. I love this site!!!! Your my hero. Thanks.
can you please write down how many stitches there are suppose to be after each round?
does the chain stitch count as a stitch too??
simply awesome… my daughter loved the owl handbag….. u say do not copy… i live in kuwait … so where can i buy it? i am only good at copying patterns from crochet books,… cant do my own designs.. maybe i can try …………. u are the best anyway………..
Hi Meera! Thanks! You can find the pattern here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/90150191/crochet-owl-purse-pdf-pattern.
Petra
thank you so much
i made one for my mom and daughter. they loved it. thank you for sharing <3
do you have a pattern for a teenager’s sweater made using shell stitch ?
you are my hero. I’ve been looking all morning for a pattern I like in order to make some newborn sized slippers. Thanks to you, I’m going to venture into making my own pattern for them since I didn’t find any I loved. Thanks for the inspiration! Your pattern has given me the basic idea of what I need to do. THANK YOU!!!
Hey Petra!
Thanks sooo much for this step by step – maybe even a beginner ditz like me can actually make slippers! I have some “bulky yarn” that I didn’t know what to use it for. I have been wanting to try slippers.
These are so simple and so cute. Also one of the easiest crochet instructables I’ve come across – although I’m a bit thick (and a newbie!) when it comes to crochet, and the only problem I’ve had is between rows 15-21. Maybe I’m not turning properly, but on each row I seem to lose a stitch, so my rows are getting narrower. I don’t suppose anyone can tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Other than that I love the pattern – made some for myself that kept my tootsies super warm over winter. Thanks very much!
I just have a simple question.
What hook do you use, and what kind of yarn?
I really want to make these slippers, and I love to make them of alpaca wool.
Love, Marian
Love these!! Thanks so much for the pattern,
Does anyone have any advice on how to make the straps to go over the top?
I did really well with this pattern until I got to rows 15-21 and then I think I have taken it apart…I cant even count. I dont understand how to connect the rows. At the end of every row there is a round loop where I chain three. Im sure Im not doing something right but Im not sure what? Thank you for taking the time to post this I really do think it’s such a cute pattern.

Pingback: Everything I’ve Crocheted « Siobhan's Blog
I was wondering what yarn you used. I have just tried making these with a G hook and medium weight yarn.#4Vanna’s Choice. Is this too heavy? I will try again using a lighter weight yarn. Thanks, they are super cute, so will keep trying>
Im a bit lost can you make a video please it would help a lot ?
