🧶 How to Make Simple Crochet Slippers (Beginner-Friendly Tutorial!)

These slippers are worked from the toe to the heel in a simple rectangle that’s folded and seamed. No complex shaping—just basic stitches!

---

✅ Materials You’ll Need

• Yarn: Medium Weight (Category 4) acrylic or cotton blend
  (Approx. 120–150 yards per pair for adult size)

• Hook: 5.0mm (H) hook (or size needed to meet gauge)

• Tapestry needle (for sewing seams)

• Scissors

• Measuring tape

• Stitch markers (optional)

---

🧵 Basic Stitches Used

• CH – chain

• SC – single crochet

• HDC – half double crochet (optional substitute)

• SL ST – slip stitch

This pattern uses mostly single crochet, but you can substitute half double crochet for a taller, stretchier slipper.

---

📏 Sizing Guide (Very Important!)

Each slipper is a rectangle.
Approximate rectangle measurements before folding:

Tip: Measure the user’s foot length and add ½ inch (1 cm) for comfort/stretch.

✨ STEP-BY-STEP CROCHET SLIPPER TUTORIAL

---

1️⃣ Make the Starting Chain

• Chain enough stitches to reach your slipper width measurement.
  (Example: Women’s Medium = chain until about 7.5 in wide.)

Do NOT worry about stitch count—measurements matter more than number of chains.

---

2️⃣ Row 1

• SC in 2nd chain from hook

• SC across the row

• CH 1, turn

---

3️⃣ Continue Crochet Rows

Repeat the following until your rectangle reaches the foot length measurement:

• SC across

• CH 1, turn

Your rectangle should be even and stretchy.

Optional Variation:
For a softer, stretchier slipper, use HDC instead of SC.

---

4️⃣ Shape the Toe (Gathering Method)

Once your rectangle reaches the correct length:

1. Fold the rectangle in half widthwise.

2. Along one short end (the “toe” side), use your yarn needle to weave a running stitch.

3. Pull the yarn tight to gather the toe closed, like a drawstring.

4. Secure with several knots or stitches.

5. Sew a few stitches to reinforce the closed toe.

---

5️⃣ Sew the Top of the Foot

With the slipper still folded:

1. From the toe, sew up the top of the slipper about halfway to the heel.

2. Leave an opening wide enough for the foot to slip in.
   (About 3–4 inches for women’s sizes.)

Use whipstitch, mattress stitch, or slip stitch—your preference.

---

6️⃣ Sew the Heel

1. Fold the heel edge so edges meet.

2. Sew straight across the back to close the heel.

3. Weave in all ends.

---

🎉 Your Slipper Shape Should Look Like This

• Rounded gathered toe

• Seam up top of foot

• Seam across the heel

• Opening around the ankle

If it looks like a cozy little sock—you’re good!

---

✨ 7️⃣ Add Optional Ribbed Cuff (Makes Them Prettier!)

Join yarn around the ankle opening:

Round 1:

• SC evenly around the opening, SL ST to join.

Round 2–5:

• CH 1, work SC in back loops only (BLO) around, SL ST to join.

This creates a stretchy ribbed cuff.

Adjust number of rounds for desired height.

---

💡 Helpful Tips

• If your slippers feel loose, switch to a smaller hook.

• If too tight, switch to a larger hook.

• Use thicker yarn for extra warmth.

• Add non-slip dots (puffy paint or silicone glue) to the sole.

---

🧼 Care Instructions

Machine washable if using acrylic yarn—wash on cold, dry flat.
Cotton or wool may shrink unless treated.
