🧶 Easy Crochet Granny Square Slippers – Step-by-Step Tutorial

These slippers are perfect for beginners: simple construction, minimal shaping, and customizable for any size!

⭐ Materials Needed

Medium weight (Category 4) yarn – ~150–200 yards total
Crochet hook size H/5.0 mm (or size needed for gauge)
Yarn needle for sewing
Scissors
Optional: stitch markers, decorative buttons, pom-poms

🟩 STEP 1 — Make the Granny Squares

You need:

3 squares per slipper (6 total)
All squares should be the same size (usually 4–5 inches/10–12 cm).

Basic Granny Square Pattern (simple version):

Round 1

Make a magic ring (or ch 4, join to form ring).
Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc into ring.
(Ch 2, 3 dc into ring) repeat this 3 more times.
Ch 2, sl st to top of beginning ch-3.
Tighten ring.

Round 2

Sl st to first ch-2 space.
Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc into same corner.
(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in next corner space repeat around.
Sl st to first ch-3.

Round 3 (and more)

Work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in every corner,
Work 3 dc in each side space.
Continue until your squares reach the desired size (typically 3–5 rounds).

Make 6 identical squares.

👣 STEP 2 — Arrange the Squares

Each slipper uses:

1 Square for the Toe

This sits centered at the front of the foot.

2 Squares for the Sides/Heel

These wrap around the foot and are joined at the heel.

Layout description (top view):

The three squares fold up like a bowl to form the slipper shape.

🧵 STEP 3 — Join the Toe to the Two Side Squares

Use whip stitch or slip-stitch crochet.

How:

Place the toe square in the center.
Align one edge of a side square to the left side of the toe square.
Sew the edges together.
Repeat on the right side with the second side square.

You now have three squares attached in a row.

👟 STEP 4 — Fold and Sew the Heel

This is where the slipper takes its shape!

Fold the two side squares upward like wrapping around your foot.
Bring their back edges together to form the heel seam.
Sew the heel seam from bottom to top.

You now have a slipper shape with an open top.

🌼 STEP 5 — Sew the Top of the Foot

Depending on how snug you want them:

Sew about ⅓ to ½ of the top front edges together
(this closes the slipper over the top of your foot).
Leave a comfortable opening for slipping your foot inside.
