Simple granny square slippers easily!

Absolutely! I can guide you step by step on how to make simple granny square slippers. These slippers are cozy, customizable, and a perfect beginner-friendly crochet project. I’ll break it down in detail.

Materials You’ll Need:

1. Yarn:

   • Medium-weight yarn (worsted weight, #4) works best.

   • You can choose a single color or multiple colors for a classic granny square look.

2. Crochet Hook:

   • Usually size H/8 (5mm) works well with medium-weight yarn.

3. Scissors

4. Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

5. Optional: Non-slip fabric paint or grips for the sole

Step 1: Make a Granny Square

The basic granny square forms the main part of your slipper.

Instructions:

1. Start with a magic ring (or chain 4 and join to make a ring).

2. Round 1: Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then work 2 double crochets (dc) into the ring, chain 1, repeat 3 times (you’ll have 4 sets of 3 dc). Join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain 3.

3. Round 2: Slip stitch into the next chain-1 space, chain 3, work 2 dc, chain 1, 3 dc into the same corner space. Repeat for the other 3 corners. Join with a slip stitch.

4. Round 3: Repeat the same pattern, increasing the size until your square is big enough to cover the top of your foot (usually 5–6 inches for teens).

Step 2: Make the Sole

You can either crochet a simple sole or use a store-bought slipper sole. Here’s a quick crochet sole method:

1. Chain a length that matches your foot length (plus 1).

2. Work single crochet (sc) across the chain.

3. Chain 1, turn, and sc across each row until the sole reaches your desired width.

4. Round the edges with sc, 2 sc in corners for a slightly curved sole.

Step 3: Assemble the Slippers

1. Place the granny square over the top of your foot.

2. Using slip stitches or whip stitches, attach the sides of the granny square to the edges of the sole.

3. Make sure it’s snug but not tight.

Step 4: Make the Back (Optional)

• For a closed-back slipper:

  1. Chain across the back, then sc across until you reach the other side of the sole.

  2. Attach it to the sides of the granny square.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

1. Weave in all loose yarn ends using a tapestry needle.

2. If desired, add non-slip grips to the bottom for safety.

Tips for Success

• Use soft but durable yarn for comfort.

• Make the granny square slightly bigger than your foot to allow stretching.

• Experiment with colors for fun patterns—classic granny squares are colorful and cute!
