🧶 How to Make Easy Crochet Granny Square Slippers

A step-by-step guide for beginners

Crochet granny square slippers are one of the simplest wearable projects you can make. They use basic stitches, work up quickly, and are customizable in size and color.

🌟 Materials You Will Need

Worsted weight yarn (medium/size 4) – 2–3 colors if desired
5.0 mm (H) crochet hook
Yarn needle for sewing
Scissors

🪡 Skills You Should Know

If you can do these, you can make the slippers:

Chain (ch)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Double crochet (dc)
Work in rounds

If any stitch is unfamiliar, ask and I’ll explain!

🟥 Step 1: Make 6 Basic Granny Squares

You need six squares total—three for each slipper.

Simple Granny Square Pattern (each square):

Magic ring (or ch 4, join to form a ring).
Round 1:
- Ch 3 (counts as dc),
- 2 dc into the ring,
- (Ch 2, 3 dc) × 3 times,
- Ch 2, join with sl st to top of ch-3.
  (You now have 4 corner clusters.)
Round 2:
- Sl st to corner space,
- In each corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc),
- In each side space between corners: 3 dc.
Round 3: repeat Round 2 until your square is about 4.5–5 inches wide.
- Slippers for larger feet = bigger squares
- Child sizes = smaller squares

Make 6 squares in total.

🟥 Step 2: Arrange the Squares

You will use three squares per slipper:

Layout (very important):

Square 1: Toe/top of the foot
Square 2: Bottom of the foot
Square 3: Heel/back of the foot

To visualize:

Square 1 attaches to the top/front of Square 2
Square 3 attaches to the back and sides of Square 2

🪡 Step 3: Sew the Slipper Together

Use a yarn needle or slip-stitch crochet to join edges.

Joining Instructions

Place Square 1 (toe) centered on top of Square 2.
- Sew ⅔ of the edges together, leaving space for the ankle.
Position Square 3 (heel) on the back side of Square 2.
- Fold up slightly to create the heel cup.
- Sew along the sides to connect it firmly.

When sewn correctly, the shape will form a foot pocket with a toe, sole, and heel.

🧵 Step 4: Add Finishing Touches

Weave in all yarn ends
Add a border around the opening (optional):
- Round of sc or hdc for a clean edge
Add a pom-pom, button, or decorative flower if you like
