Crochet Pattern: Slipper
Note: Round 1 – 8 starts the toe of the slipper by creating a circle. For best fit, make sure that the diameter of the circle is slightly smaller than the width of the wearer’s foot. To adjust the circle size, simply add or subtract rounds as needed.
Round 1: ch 2, 6 sc in second ch from hook, place marker: 6 sc
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around: 12 sc
Round 3: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next sc) around: 18 sc
Round 4: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 2 sc) around: 24 sc
Round 5: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 3 sc) around: 30 sc
Round 6: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 4 sc) around: 36 sc
Round 7: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 5 sc) around: 42 sc
Round 8: (2 sc in next sc, sc in next 6 sc) around: 48 sc
Continue increasing the circle until the diameter is slightly smaller than the width of the wearer’s foot.
Note: Round 9 – 27 creates the front/toe of the slipper. You may choose to make this portion as long or short as you desire. To adjust length add or subtract rounds as needed. The length of the slipper upon completion of these rounds should not go pass the ankle of the wearer’s foot.
Round 9 – 27: sc in each sc around: 48 sc
Continue until the desired length of the front of the slipper is obtained.
Note: Row 28 establishes the length of the two sides plus the bottom of the slipper. The length of this row should be greater than the diameter of the slipper. 30 single crochets is the recommended length that is used in this example. You may increase or decrease the number of single crochets made to better fit your slipper size.
Row 28: sc in next 30 sc: 30 sc
Note: Row 29 – 43 creates the rest of the slipper, which includes heal and back of foot. Upon completing this set of rows your slipper should exactly reach the back of the wearer’s ankle. Increase or decrease the number of rows as you see necessary.
Row 29 – 43: ch 1, turn, sc in next 30 sc: 30 sc
Finish off. With yarn needle, sew back of slipper together.

[...] feel free to use my Crochet Pattern: Easy Adjustable Slippers if you need a slipper [...]
Rachel (or anyone else w/a great idea), What would you put on the bottom of the slipper for a child so that it was not so “slippery” on say a wood or tile floor? I’m making these for my 2 young nieces for their upcoming birthdays but certainly don’t want them slipping & sliding on their tile & wood floors. Would love any ideas!
Thanks,
Mary
Hey Mary, there are those craft paints that you can use. I forget what they are called, but they are used for decorating T-shirts.
Puffy Paint.
I just printed the pattern for Easy ADjustable Slippers and find I have made a bucket instead of a shoe.
How does the item become long instead of round? I completed Rounds 1-8 and had a nice circle, then rounds 9-27 says you can make the slipper as long/short as needed however, if I continue on with 48 single crochets I get a deep round item. What have I missed?
Thelma, rounds 9-27 is for the front of the slipper where your toes go inside. So make that part as long or as short as you need it to cover your toes. You can also read some of the older comments on this post, since common questions have already been answered.
I love these they are so easy to make
Thank you for this pattern. My local Hospice asked for more slippers. I have been going through my slipper patterns and trying to make one pair of each pattern. I’ll add this to my list of patterns to make for Heart to Heart Hospice.

I meant to comment over the winter but forgot, oops
I love this pattern and made a pair for each member of our family. I posted about them on my blog if you want to look
An idea for putting on the bottom of the slippers so they wont be slippery is Rug backing rubber. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby. It dries white and I put 2 layers on my grandbaby’s slippers and it worked awesome! I did read the directions beforehand to make sure it was machine washable!
I am a medic in a remote pipeline construction camp in northern British Columbia (Canada) I am gone from home for 5-6 weeks at a time with a couple of hours during the day and a couple again in the evening to sit and crochet. Thank you SO much for this pattern! I have made every size and colour imaginable (some combinations to use up small balls of yarn). The ones that dont go to my family goes to friends or the local hospital, nursing home, or womens shelter.
Again, thank you! I can make these and not pay a whole lot of attention to them, unlike the knitting ones I used to make.
Have an amazing day!
Also…. I followed the same principle but switched from single to half double crochet. SO quick to make. Turned out FABULOUS!
