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.

Heyaaaa
These ones are so so so cuteeeee.. i am definitely gonna try it sooooooooonnn..
Shakina
Hey Shakina!
I Hope you do! Let me know how they go or if need any help
Love the look. Will start now on the Christmas list and these will be on it!!
Thanks Bre’!
Let me know how they come along! Come to think of it, I should start on my Christmas list too.
Hello Rachel,
I love the slippers and my feet are always freezing. I will have to give these a try. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations!
You’re welcome Patty!
My feet are always freezing too, but I think I got used to it, lol. Let me know how your slippers turn out
I must be doing something wrong. Mine looks like a bowl but for the life of me I can’t figure out what it is. Do you any progressive pictures of these as you make them?
Hi Cindy!
I didn’t take any progressive pics when I made them. Maybe I will take some the next time I make a pair. But I would be glad to explain to you how they are suppose to look as you progress
For round 1 – 8: you will be creating the very very tip of the toe of the slipper. It will make a circle shape. Just make sure that the circle is not wider than the width of the wearer’s foot.
For round 9- 27: you are creating the front of the slipper. It is sort of a tube like shape or as you may describe it, it is a bowl. You should now have the top and bottom of the front of the slipper since the wearer should now be able to slip their foot into the “bowl” comfortably. If it does not fit snugly around the foot, then it is too big or if it does not fit on the foot at all, then it is too small.
For row 28 – 43: you are no longer going to crochet in rounds. These rows will continue the bottom of the slipper until it reaches the back of the wearer’s heal. This is were you will stop and sew the back of the slipper up.
Then you are done!
Thanks Rachel! You are very sweet to take the time to explain this to me. I am very new to following patterns and obviously I have made mistakes somewhere. Mine is so round that at least 1 and 1/2 feet would fit inside LOL I believe I will start over tonight and maybe figure out where I went wrong! Thanks again!
No problem Cindy! 1 1/2 feet, wow! Let me know if you run into more problems
Remember the first part you make is only the width of the foot, from big toe to little toe.
Thanks Rachel
Hi Rachel,
On your easy slippers pattern, when you say measure width of foot. Do you mean all around with a tape measure or just the bottom of the widest part of foot?
thanks,
roberta
Hi Robera!
Width of foot refers to the widest part of the foot. Also some yarns stretch a bit, so you may want to make it slightly smaller than the width of the foot.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need more help
Thank you Rachel. However, you need to explain like your talking to a 6 year old. Is the width of the foot from big toe to little toe, bottom of foot or tape measure around bottom to top? This is a multiple choice question.
thanks so much for your help
roberta
It’s the straight line distance from the big toe to little toe, not wrapping anything around your foot.
Hope that’s more clear
HI
I try it but i have a problem…. there is only one circle?? i don’t understand your pattern.
Could you send me picture tutorial of it?
thanks
sandy
Hi Sandy!
I don’t have a picture tutorial of it just yet, but since you asked along with Cindy, I would be glad to make one in the future. For now I will try to explain it the best as I can for you
Yes, there is only one circle. The whole slipper is made all in one piece.
For round 1 – 8: you will be creating the very very tip of the toe of the slipper. It will make a circle shape. Just make sure that the circle is not wider than the width of the wearer’s foot (the distance form your big toe to little toe).
For round 9- 27: you are creating the front of the slipper. It is sort of a tube like shape. You should now have the top and bottom of the front of the slipper since the wearer should now be able to slip their foot into it comfortably. If it does not fit snugly around the foot, then it is too big or if it does not fit on the foot at all, then it is too small.
For row 28 – 43: you are no longer going to crochet in rounds. These rows will continue the bottom of the slipper until it reaches the back of the wearer’s heal. This is were you will stop and sew the back of the slipper up.
If you need more help as you go let me know
Thank you for your pattern Rachel! I made these last night and they were a breeze to adjust even to fit my oddly shaped feet. A tip for those that have spread out toes like me; when forming the toes, decrease evenly by 6 stitches in the next round/s after you pass the ball of your foot to ensure a snug fit.
Great tip Julia! I’m glad you found them easy to adjust
just great pattern, i was looking for something for older child at baby shower for our navy
base and thia looka great thank you
hugs carolyn
Rachel,
I just found your site and love it! I’ve tried several slippers patterns and I tried your slipper pattern last night and I have the same problem. By row 12 I ended up with one big circle and still going. No tube formed for me. I’m sorry but I just do not understand. I’m a beginner crocheter and I’m looking for something very easy for me to understand. I’ve wanted to make slippers for years and I am determined to learn. I also don’t understand how to start the sides and heel. If you could make a video on how to make the slippers that would be great.
Thanks for your help! And please keep your website going. Your site is SUPER!
Kathy
Hi rachel,
Am trying the pattern.however for rows 28-43, i cannot do the end part properly. i have reached the heel part.what to do next to close the gap?
Anne,
Once the slipper reaches the back of the heel, sew the back shut by connecting the 2 corner edges and sew straight down.
Kathy,
I would love to make a video, but I’m still trying to raise some money to get a video camera
Hi Rachel!
Thank you very much for your time!Got it!
And thank you very much for this nice pattern!
I dont know how to sew up the heel can you help me? the slippers are really cute.
Lupita,
Once the slipper reaches the back of the heel, sew the back shut by connecting the 2 corner edges and sew straight down. That will make your heel.
Thanks Rachel !
Hey girl I love your slipper pattern! I just started to crochet a few days ago, and this was the 2nd pattern I’ve ever attempted. It was so easy! I still have this problem with remembering to count my stitches as I go, which results in most of my rounds becoming cone-like, but with the slippers you can’t even tell. Once they go on my feet they look fine. Keep up the great work wooot!
These are EXACTLY what I had in mind! Thank you!
)
I am going to make them for Christmas gifts in Bernat glow in the dark yarn.
Maybe with a Mary-Jane style strap.
I’m glad you found what you were looking for Angie. I didn’t know Bernet had glow in the dark yarn! That is so cool. I can just imagine someone walking around in the dark with glow in the dark slippers.
Rachel,
Just want you to know I finally figured out your pattern and have made 4 pair and I’m working on 2 more pairs. I’m giving these to my co-workers and they really love them. As soon as I make 3 more pairs (for family members) then I will probably be in the slipper making business because everyone I talk to would like a pair. How much do you think I should sell them for? Thanks so much for all you do for sharing your crochet knowledge, patterns and help with all the questions.
Kathy
Add up how much it costs for supplies and the time you spend on making them. That should be how much you sell them for.
Just found this pattern and photo – this is what I’ve been looking for!!!! Now to get the needles moving. Will try and read through all the above posts to make sure I get it right.
Peggy
Rachel, Great job on the slipper pattern! Although I haven’t started, the pattern is clear and concise. I can see it all out in my mind. Your answers to comments show you have the patients of a saint.
You have a terrific site and some great ideas and patterns. Really gets my thoughts flowing, the cube, sphere…where to start?!
Thanks!
just found this pattern 3 days ago and have made 3 pairs in all different foot sizes, yarn sizes and needle sizes…even made a pair in wool, trimmed with ribbon yarn and then felted…love it!!!!!
Wow! Thanks for a great pattern. This was my first time to make slippers, and I surprised myself. I can’t believe how easy they were to crochet. I am planning to make them for the kids and grandskids. Thanks again! I love your web site!
I love this pattern and I tried to make them today but somehow even after I measured my foot they turned out super super big. I’ll just have to make some more adjustments next time and give this pair away!!! I can’t wait to make them again!!!
Can’t wait to try these…..wondering about using a “F” hook to make them more sturdy or tighter.
Sure Peggy, you can use a F if you’d like. Just be use to measure the slipper as you make it.
I have been searching for -ever for a slipper to make to give for Christmas this year. I’m going to give these a shot but I have one question. How do I figure out how big to make them without measuring the person’s feet? Is there a general measurement tool according to shoe size? I might be able to guess the shoe size or ask around but putting a tape measure around the person’s foot without them knowing is kinda impossible.
Hi Stephanie, you can search online for a shoe size chart. It should tell you the general measurements of a person’s foot according to their show size.
