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.
