Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sole

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 one extra chain for turning.

Step 2: Shape the Sole

Single crochet (sc) across the chain.
At the end, work 3 sc in the last chain to turn the corner.
Continue along the opposite side, and work 2 sc in the corner for a rounded shape.
Repeat until the sole reaches the desired width for your foot.

Tip: The sole should feel slightly snug for a comfortable fit.

Step 3: Build the Sides

Crochet evenly around the sole using sc or hdc.
Work back-loop only to create a slight rib for a better fit around the foot.
Continue until the sides reach just below the ankle.

Step 4: Shape the Toe

When you reach the top of the foot, decrease evenly to narrow the opening.
Continue decreasing for a few rounds until the slipper forms a snug toe area.

Step 5: Finish the Top and Opening

Crochet a simple border around the top edge.
Fasten off and weave in all ends neatly.

Optional Finishing Touches ✨

Add a decorative border in contrasting yarn
Make pom-poms or bows to attach on top
Add non-slip dots or felt to the sole
Use chunky yarn to speed up the project

Easy Sizing Adjustments

Longer foot: Start with more chains for the sole
Wider foot: Add more increase rounds along the sole
Thicker slipper: Use bulkier yarn and larger hook

This method works for children, women, and men with simple adjustments.
