Below is a clear, friendly step-by-step guide for making quick and easy crochet granny-square slippers. This method is perfect for beginners and uses basic stitches.

🧶 How to Make Quick and Easy Crochet Granny Square Slippers

These cozy slippers are made from three simple granny squares. You crochet the squares, fold them into shape, and seam them together—no complicated shaping required!

⭐ What You Need

Yarn: Worsted-weight (Medium/4). Two or more colors look great, but one color works too.
Hook: 5 mm (H-8) or size recommended for your yarn
Tapestry needle for sewing squares
Scissors

Gauge isn’t critical, but larger or smaller squares will affect the slipper size.

🟩 Step 1: Crochet 3 Granny Squares

You need three identical squares for each slipper (six total for a pair).

Typical Size:

Adult Small/Medium: 5.5–6 in (14–15 cm) squares
Adult Large: 6.5 in (16.5 cm) squares
Child: 4.5–5 in (11–13 cm) squares

Basic Classic Granny Square Pattern

(Work in joined rounds.)

Round 1

Ch 4, join to form ring.
Ch 3 (counts as dc), 2 dc into ring, ch 2, 3 dc, repeat from * two more times.
Ch 2, join to top of ch 3.
(You should have 4 clusters of 3 dc.)

Round 2

Slip stitch to corner space.
In corner space: (Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
Next corner: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc).
Repeat for all corners; join.

Round 3 & more
Repeat Round 2, putting:

(3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in each corner
and 3 dc in each side space

Stop when your square reaches the desired size.

Make three squares per slipper.

🧩 Step 2: Lay Out the Squares

For each slipper:

Square A (Toe Square) – becomes the top of the foot.
Square B (Heel Square) – becomes the heel area.
Square C (Foot Sole Square) – makes the sole.

Layout

Form a “T” shape:

A attaches to one side of C.
B attaches to the opposite side of C.
The remaining sides of A and B are then folded upward and stitched to create the slipper shape.

🧵 Step 3: Join the Squares

Use whip stitch, mattress stitch, or slip-stitch crochet joins.

Step-by-Step Assembly

1) Attach Square A (Toe) to Square C (Sole)

Align one side of A to one side of C.
Sew or slip stitch the edges together.

2) Attach Square B (Heel) to the opposite side of C

Align one side of B to the free opposite side of C.
Join the edges.

Now your shape matches the “T” layout.

👟 Step 4: Shape the Slipper

Closing the Toe

Fold the left and right edges of Square A up toward the center.
Seam these edges together to form the toe box.

Closing the Heel

Fold the left and right edges of Square B up and seam them to form the back of the slipper.

You will see the slipper shape appear as soon as you finish these seams.

🧶 Optional Finishing Touches

Add a border: Single crochet around the ankle opening.
Add ties or pom-poms for decoration.
Use suede patches or puff paint on the bottom for non-slip soles.
Adjust sizing:
- Make larger or smaller granny squares
- Add an extra round to lengthen the slipper
- Use thicker yarn or a larger hook for bigger slippers
