🧶 How to Crochet Granny Square Slippers (Easy Step-by-Step Guide)

Crochet granny square slippers are one of the easiest and most satisfying beginner projects. They work up quickly, require only a few squares, and can be customized to any size—from kids to adults.

⭐ Materials You’ll Need

• Worsted-weight yarn (or any medium-weight yarn)

• Crochet hook (size recommended on your yarn label, usually 4.5–5.5 mm)

• Yarn needle for sewing

• Scissors

🟩 Step 1: Crochet the Granny Squares

You will need:

Standard Granny Square Pattern:

1. Round 1:

   • Make a magic ring.

   • Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc, ch 2.

   • 3 dc, ch 2 repeat 3 more times (for 4 corners).

   • Join to top of ch-3.

2. Round 2:

   • Sl st to corner space.

   • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) into corner, ch 1 around.

   • Join.

3. Round 3 (and more rounds if needed):

   • Continue with (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corners

   • (3 dc in each ch-1 space) for sides.

   • Add rounds until your square is 4–5 inches.

Repeat until you have the total number of squares needed.

🧩 Step 2: Arrange the Squares

For each slipper you will assemble 6 squares (adult size):

Layout:

• 1 square = toe

• 2 squares = sides

• 1 square = heel

• 2 squares = top/bottom shaping (optional depending on size)

Basic Adult Layout (Most Common):

Squares 1–3 form the top front area
Square 4 wraps the heel
Squares 5 & 6 shape the bottom/instep

You can adjust using fewer squares for smaller feet.

🪡 Step 3: Sew the Squares Together

Use a yarn needle and the whip stitch or slip-stitch join.

Join in this order:

1. Sew Square 1 to Square 2, and Square 2 to Square 3

2. Attach Square 4 to the back edges of the previous row

3. Add Square 5 and Square 6 on the bottom sides

4. Fold the shape to form a slipper and sew the side seams

Leave the ankle opening unsewn.

👟 Step 4: Shape the Slipper

Once sewn, it will naturally fold into a slipper shape:

• The 3 squares across form the toe box

• The bottom squares wrap your sole

• The back square wraps your heel

Sew snugly for a cozy fit.

🎀 Step 5: Add Finishing Touches

Optional additions:

• Add a round of single crochet around the ankle opening for a clean edge

• Add decorative buttons or pom-poms

• Add a simple felt sole or dots of fabric paint for grip

🧵 Size Adjustments

• Add more rounds to each granny square for larger sizes

• Use fewer rounds for smaller sizes

• Add or remove bottom squares for width and length adjustments
