👣 Pattern Notes:

These slippers are worked flat in a rectangle and then folded and seamed.
You can easily adjust the length by adding or subtracting rows.
Great stash-busting project — use leftover yarn!

🪡 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Base Rectangle

This will form the slipper’s sole and sides.

Chain 28 (for women’s size 7–8)
- For smaller size: ch 24
- For larger size: ch 32
Row 1: Hdc in 2nd ch from hook and across. (27 sts)
Ch 1, turn.
Rows 2–20: Hdc in each st across. (27 sts)
Ch 1, turn each row.
(Adjust number of rows for longer or shorter feet.)

You now have a soft rectangular panel.

2. Shape the Toe

Fold the rectangle in half (short ends together).
Use your yarn needle to sew or slip stitch across one short side — this will be the toe seam.
Cinch the middle slightly (optional) to shape a rounded toe.

3. Form the Heel Opening

From the open end (opposite the toe), fold the sides toward the middle, like a “T” shape.
Sew or crochet about ⅓ of the way up each side to form the heel.
- Leave a small heel opening for your foot to slip in.

4. Finishing Touches

Turn slipper right-side out.
Weave in all yarn ends securely.
(Optional) Add a decorative border around the opening with sc stitches.
Make the second slipper the same way.

🧤 Size Adjustments

Length: Add or remove rows in the rectangle.
Width: Add or subtract starting chains.
For men’s size: Start with 34–38 chains and add 3–4 extra rows.
For kids: Start with 18–22 chains and about 14–16 rows.

🌈 Optional Variations

Use two strands of yarn held together for extra warmth.
Add pompoms, buttons, or bows for decoration.
Use variegated yarn for a color-changing effect.

🧺 Care Instructions

Machine wash on gentle or hand wash.
Lay flat to dry to maintain shape.

💡 Quick Tips:

Try on the slipper before sewing the heel — this ensures a perfect fit.
Don’t make your stitches too tight; loose tension helps the slipper stretch comfortably.
If you’re new to crocheting, this project is great practice for even stitches and basic shaping.
