How to Make Easy Crochet Slippers (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Skill Level

Beginner

Time Needed

About 1–2 hours

Materials You Will Need

• Medium-weight yarn (worsted weight / size 4)

• Crochet hook (5.0 mm or size H works well)

• Yarn needle (for sewing and weaving ends)

• Scissors

• Measuring tape (optional)

Crochet Stitches Used

• Chain (ch)

• Slip stitch (sl st)

• Single crochet (sc)

• Half double crochet (hdc)

• Double crochet (dc)

(If you know basic stitches, you’re good to go!)

Step 1: Make the Sole (Foundation)

1. Start by making a slip knot.

2. Chain 24 stitches (this fits an average adult foot; adjust for size).

   • Fewer chains = smaller size

   • More chains = larger size

3. Double crochet (dc) into the 4th chain from the hook.

4. Continue making 1 dc in each chain until the end.

5. At the last chain, make 5 dc in the same stitch to turn the corner.

6. Now work dc along the other side of the chain.

7. At the end, add 2 dc in the last stitch.

8. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the first dc.

👉 This creates the oval sole of the slipper.

Step 2: Build the Sides of the Slipper

1. Chain 2 (counts as the first stitch).

2. Make 1 hdc in each stitch around.

3. Do not increase in this round.

4. Join with a slip stitch.

👉 This round starts shaping the slipper upward.

Step 3: Shape the Toe Area

1. Chain 2.

2. Hdc in the next 8 stitches.

3. Decrease by crocheting two stitches together (hdc2tog).

4. Repeat decreases across the toe area.

5. Hdc around the rest of the slipper.

6. Slip stitch to join.

👉 This gives the slipper its toe shape.

Step 4: Finish the Top Edge

1. Chain 1.

2. Single crochet (sc) evenly around the top opening.

3. Slip stitch to join.

4. Fasten off and cut yarn, leaving a small tail.

Step 5: Assemble and Finish

1. Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends.

2. Try on the slipper and adjust if needed.

3. Make a second slipper by repeating all steps.

🎉 Your crochet slippers are complete!

Optional Tips

• Use thicker yarn for warmer slippers.

• Add non-slip fabric or dots to the sole for safety.

• Decorate with buttons, bows, or simple crochet flowers.

• Use a smaller hook for tighter stitches and durability.

If you want, I can:

• Adjust this for kids’ sizes

• Rewrite it for a blog, YouTube description, or school project

• Add pictures guidance or stitch explanations
