Step-by-Step Crochet Socks-Slippers Tutorial

Step 1: Crochet the Cuff

  1. Chain 12–15 stitches (depending on ankle size)

  2. Single crochet in the back loop only across

  3. Chain 1, turn, and repeat

Continue until the cuff fits comfortably around your ankle.
Join the short ends to form a ring.


Step 2: Crochet the Foot Tube

  • Crochet evenly around the cuff

  • Use single crochet or half double crochet

  • Continue until the piece reaches the heel

This creates a stretchy sock-like tube.


Step 3: Create the Heel Opening

  1. Crochet halfway around

  2. Chain 5–7 stitches

  3. Skip the same number of stitches

  4. Continue crocheting

This forms a simple heel space—no complicated shaping needed.


Step 4: Crochet the Sole and Toe

  • Continue crocheting around the foot

  • Work until the piece reaches the tip of your toes

  • Begin decreasing evenly at the front

Pull the yarn through remaining stitches to close the toe.


Step 5: Finish the Heel

  • Join yarn at the heel opening

  • Crochet in the round

  • Decrease slightly to fit snugly

  • Fasten off and weave in ends


Optional Finishing Touches ✨

  • Add a ribbed or decorative edge at the cuff

  • Use contrasting yarn for the toe

  • Apply non-slip dots to the sole

  • Add ankle ties or buttons


Easy Sizing Tips

  • Longer foot: Crochet more rounds

  • Wider foot: Add more stitches

  • Warmer slippers: Use bulky yarn

This method works well for women, men, and children.
