How to crochet easy one piece slippers for beginners!

Absolutely! I can give you a detailed, step-by-step guide for making easy one-piece crochet slippers for beginners. I’ll keep it simple, use beginner-friendly stitches, and explain everything clearly. 🧶


Materials Needed

  1. Yarn: Medium-weight (worsted, category 4) yarn is easiest for beginners. Choose a soft, washable yarn.

  2. Crochet Hook: Size recommended on your yarn label, usually 5.0–6.0 mm (H–I).

  3. Scissors

  4. Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends.

  5. Optional: Stitch marker to mark rounds.


Basic Stitches Used

  • Chain (ch): Creates the starting foundation.

  • Slip Stitch (sl st): Joins rounds or moves along stitches.

  • Single Crochet (sc): The main stitch for beginners.

  • Half Double Crochet (hdc) (optional): For a slightly taller stitch.


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sole

  1. Start with a foundation chain. The number depends on the slipper size:

    • Small: 10–12 ch

    • Medium: 12–14 ch

    • Large: 14–16 ch

  2. Work single crochets (sc) in each chain across.

  3. At the end, work 3 sc into the last chain (for the curve at the toe).

  4. Continue along the other side of the chain, working sc back, adding 3 sc at the start chain for the other curve.

  5. Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.

You now have a flat oval sole.


Step 2: Start the Upper Part

  1. Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).

  2. Work sc evenly around the sole, placing 2 sc in the corners if needed to keep the shape flat.

  3. Join with a sl st.


Step 3: Build the Sides

  1. Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch around.

  2. Repeat for 4–6 rounds, or until the sides are tall enough to cover your foot comfortably.

  3. Optional: To shape the toe area, you can decrease 1 sc on each side of the toe in the last round.


Step 4: Shape the Top Opening

  1. When your slipper is tall enough, mark the middle front stitches for the top opening.

  2. Crochet around the slipper, but stop and skip the marked stitches to make the top opening.

  3. Continue around and join with sl st.

  4. You can make 1–2 more rounds around the slipper edge for a neat finish.


Step 5: Finishing

  1. Cut yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail.

  2. Use a tapestry needle to weave in ends.

  3. Optional: Add a decorative crochet flower, button, or cuff.


Tips for Beginners

  • Keep your tension even; too tight makes it stiff, too loose makes it floppy.

  • Use stitch markers to track rounds.

  • Try the slipper on as you go to adjust width and length.

  • Practice on scrap yarn first to get the sole shape right.


Result: A cute, cozy, one-piece crochet slipper that doesn’t need sewing—perfect for beginners!
