I love this slipper pattern because you really can make them any size from little baby to big, burly man. Everyone is getting slippers for Christmas this year!
They are so easy.  If you have never crocheted before, it really is less complicated than it looks!  If you want to tackle learning it, this is a great pattern to start with.  But first, check out my favorite crocheting channel on YouTube: Naztazia

OK, on with the slippers!
I based it off of this pattern…but simplified it a bit.
This is basically a double crocheted rectangle, folded in half lengthwise, and then just slip-stitched into a slipper:

Supplies

Hook size H (5.00 mm) and your favorite soft yarn

Let’s Get Started

Chain 22-25 (for toddlers) a little less for babies and little more for bigger kids.  30-35 for women, 38 for men or nearly as long as the foot/shoe of the person you are making them for.

Row 1: Double crochet in the second chain from hook and then each chain across (go through both loops) chain two and turn.

Row 2: Now double crochet in each double crochet across, chaining two and turn.

Rows 3-11: (Of course this width can be adapted to the individual foot size), Repeat what you did in row 2, end off.

So basically you’ve now made a rectangle.

Fold in half lengthwise and slip-stitch the toe and then around the back and about half way on the top leaving enough room for the foot to get in (remember it will stretch so it can be a bit snug at first). Backstitch a bit to hold your stitches.

You can add a pom-pom or even a cuff with a tie if you wanted.  They make up really quickly and are so fun and cozy!

Enjoy your slippers!

Hello!  Hope this finds you having a happy Friday.  Things are good over here.  We are busy getting our house ready to sell which is always fun (you know that was sarcastic right?) One good thing about getting a house ready is that you do all of the projects you’ve been meaning to do for…

  3. Hey, I LOVE these. Crocheting I can do. Do you perchance have a pattern anywhere for those socks that you crochet and put beads on? Ellie has a pair — her “jangly socks” — that she loves but it out growing. I can crochet, I just don’t know about the beads.
