Yarn needle (for sewing)
Scissors
Optional: Non-slip fabric paint or rubber sole

Crochet Skills Required

Chain (ch)
Single crochet (sc) or Half double crochet (hdc)
Slip stitch (sl st)
Fastening off

This project is great for absolute beginners.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crochet the Rectangle

Chain enough stitches to match the length of your foot.

Approximate sizes:

Small: 22 cm (8.5 inches)
Medium: 24 cm (9.5 inches)
Large: 26 cm (10.5 inches)

Add 1 extra chain for turning.

Step 2: Work the Rows

Single crochet (or half double crochet) into each stitch across
Chain 1 and turn
Repeat until the rectangle reaches the width of your foot
(usually 8–10 cm / 3–4 inches)

Tip: Using half double crochet makes the slipper softer and warmer.

Step 3: Fold the Rectangle

Lay your rectangle flat:

Fold it lengthwise
The short edges will form the toe and heel

This simple fold is the secret to the slipper shape!

Step 4: Seam the Toe

Sew one short edge closed using a yarn needle
Gather slightly at the top to create a rounded toe
Secure tightly and fasten off

Step 5: Seam the Heel

On the opposite short edge, sew only halfway up
Leave an opening for the heel
Fasten off securely

Turn the slipper right-side out—you’ll see the slipper shape instantly!

Optional Finishing Touches ✨

Add a single crochet border around the opening
Attach a button, bow, or flower
Use a contrasting color for edging
Apply non-slip dots to the sole

Easy Sizing Adjustments

Longer foot: Start with a longer chain
Wider foot: Add more rows
Thicker slipper: Use bulky yarn and a larger hook

This rectangle method works for women, men, and children—just change the size.
