Step 1: Make the Granny Squares

Each slipper usually needs 3–4 granny squares, depending on foot size.

Basic Granny Square Pattern

1. Start

   • Make a magic ring or chain 4 and join with a sl st to form a ring.

2. Round 1

   • Ch 3 (counts as first dc)

   • 2 dc into the ring

   • Ch 2

   • 3 dc, ch 2 into the ring (repeat 3 times)

   • Join with sl st to the top of ch 3

   • You should have 4 corners

3. Round 2

   • Sl st into the next corner space

   • Ch 3, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in the same corner

   • Ch 1

   • Repeat in each corner

   • Join with sl st

4. Round 3 (optional for bigger size)

   • Repeat the same pattern:

     • 3 dc in side spaces

     • (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in corners

Fasten off and weave in ends.

👉 Tip: For adult slippers, squares are usually 10–12 cm (4–5 inches) wide.

Step 2: Make All the Squares

• Make 6–8 identical granny squares (3–4 per slipper)

• Keep them the same size for a neat finish

Step 3: Assemble the Slippers

Basic Slipper Layout (Per Slipper)

• 1 square for the toe

• 1 square for the top of the foot

• 1 square for the heel

• Optional 1 square for the sole (extra warmth)

Joining the Squares

1. Place squares right sides together

2. Use a yarn needle and whip stitch (or sl st with a hook)

3. Stitch along the edges to form a slipper shape

4. Leave the top open for your foot

Step 4: Shape the Slipper

• Fold the back square upward to form the heel

• Sew the sides securely

• Try it on and adjust if needed

Step 5: Add a Border (Optional but Recommended)

To make slippers snug and neat:

1. Attach yarn to the opening

2. Sc evenly around the opening

3. Join and repeat 1–2 rounds

4. Fasten off

Step 6: Make Them Non-Slip (Optional)

• Sew non-slip fabric to the sole

• Or apply dots of fabric paint or hot glue to the bottom
