Step-by-Step: Simplest Crochet Slipper Tutorial

Step 1: Crochet a Simple Rectangle

Chain enough stitches to match the length of your foot
- Small: 22 cm (8.5 in)
- Medium: 24 cm (9.5 in)
- Large: 26 cm (10.5 in)
Add 1 extra chain for turning.

Step 2: Work the Rows

Single crochet (or half double crochet) across the chain
Chain 1 and turn
Repeat until the rectangle reaches 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) wide

This rectangle is the entire slipper—very easy!

Step 3: Fold the Rectangle

Fold the rectangle lengthwise
The short edges will become the toe and heel

You will now clearly see the slipper shape forming.

Step 4: Close the Toe

Sew one short edge completely closed
Slightly gather the top to create a rounded toe
Secure and fasten off

Step 5: Close 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.

Optional Easy Finishing Touches ✨

Single crochet around the opening
Add a small bow, button, or pom-pom
Use a contrasting color edge
Apply non-slip dots on the sole

Easy Size Adjustments

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

This method works for women, men, and children.

This is truly one of the simplest ways to crochet slippers. With just a rectangle and a few seams, you can create warm, comfortable slippers—even as a complete beginner. It’s a confidence-boosting project that gives you something practical you’ll actually use.
