How to Make a Very Easy Crochet Slipper from a Rectangle (Quickly!)

Beginner Friendly – Fast & Cozy

These slippers are made from one simple rectangle, folded and sewn into shape. No shaping, no counting stress, no fancy stitches.


1. What You’ll Need

🧶 Materials

  • Yarn:

    • Bulky or super bulky yarn (for speed!)

    • Wool or wool blend is best

    • About 80–100 g

  • Crochet hook:

    • Size 6 mm–8 mm (J/10–L/11)

  • Other tools:

    • Yarn needle

    • Scissors


2. Rectangle Size (Adult – Super Easy!)

Finished rectangle size:

  • Length: 24–26 cm (9.5–10.5 in)

  • Width: 18–20 cm (7–8 in)

👉 To resize:

  • Longer rectangle = longer slipper

  • Wider rectangle = wider slipper


3. Stitches Used (Absolute Beginner Level)

You only need:

  • Chain (ch)

  • Half double crochet (hdc) or double crochet (dc)

  • Slip stitch (sl st)

That’s it! 🙌


4. Step-by-Step Instructions


STEP 1: Crochet the Rectangle (FAST!)

  1. Chain 25–27 (depending on yarn & hook)

  2. Hdc (or dc) in the third chain from the hook

  3. Continue across

  4. Chain 2, turn

You’ll have 23–25 stitches.


STEP 2: Build the Rectangle

  1. Crochet hdc (or dc) in every stitch

  2. Chain 2, turn

  3. Repeat for 10–12 rows
    (or until rectangle reaches 24–26 cm / 9.5–10.5 in)

👉 Bulky yarn = done in minutes!


STEP 3: Fold into Slipper Shape

Lay your rectangle flat:

  1. Fold it in half lengthwise

  2. Sew one short edge completely → this is the toe

  3. On the other short edge, sew halfway up → this forms the heel

Leave the top open for your foot 👣


STEP 4: Shape the Heel (Optional but Nice!)

  1. Pinch the heel corners inward

  2. Sew them together for a snug fit

Try it on and adjust if needed.


STEP 5: Finish

  • Weave in all ends

  • Turn slipper right side out

  • Repeat for the second slipper 🎉


5. Optional 5-Minute Upgrades ✨

  • Single crochet around the opening for a clean edge

  • Add a pom-pom or tassel

  • Sew on non-slip sole patches

  • Add a simple ankle strap


6. Super-Fast Tips 🚀

  • Use super bulky yarn for speed

  • Keep stitches tight for durability

  • Measure against your foot before sewing

  • Make both rectangles before sewing to save time
