Easy Crochet Square Slippers Pattern

This pattern guides you step-by-step through crocheting warm, customizable slippers using worsted weight yarn and a granny square design. The construction begins at the toe and incorporates a beautiful square for the top. This is a quick and practical project for crocheters of all skill levels.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Create the Granny Squares for the Top

  1. Make Two Granny Squares:
    • Use your choice of yarn colors. Follow any classic granny square pattern. The referenced video contains a separate guide for making these squares.
    • Each square should be large enough to fill the opening on top of the slipper where the foot slides in.
  2. Set Aside Completed Squares:
    • These will be sewn into the top opening later in the pattern.
      Save

Step 2: Toe Section

Round 1:

  1. Start with a magic ring:
    • Hold the yarn tail in your palm, wrap it around your finger twice, and form an "X".
    • Insert your hook under the first loop, grab the second loop, remove your finger, and pull up a loop.
    • Chain 3 (this counts as the first double crochet).
      Save
  2. Work 7 double crochets (DC) into the magic ring, making a total of 8 DC (including the beginning chain 3).
  3. Pull the yarn tail tightly to close the ring.
  4. Slip stitch into the top of the chain 3 to join.

Round 2:

  1. Chain 3 (or work a chainless DC—optional).
    • Work 2 DC in each stitch around, starting in the same stitch as the chain 3.
    • Total: 16 DC (double the original 8 stitches).
  2. Slip stitch into the top of the first chain to join.

Round 3:

  1. Chain 3 and work:
    • 1 DC in the first stitch, 2 DC in the next stitch.
    • Repeat: 1 DC in next, 2 DC in next stitch around.
  2. Your total stitch count at the end of this round should be 24 stitches for Small, 28 for Medium, or 32 for Large.
  3. Slip stitch to join.
    Save

Subsequent Rounds (Expansion Rounds):

  1. Continue increasing to get the desired width of the toe base:
    • Follow the increasing pattern of alternating single and double DCs.
    • For example: 1 DC, 1 DC, 2 DC for the 4th round expansion.
  2. Stop increasing when you reach the desired toe size:
    • Small: 30 stitches.
    • Medium: 32 stitches.
    • Large: 34 stitches.

Step 3: Creating the Slipper Body

  1. Begin Working in Rows:
    • Stop working in rounds when the toe is complete. Begin crocheting back and forth in rows to form the slipper's base.
    • Leave the top 12 stitches unworked (regardless of size). These unworked stitches will form the square’s opening later.
  2. Rows of Double Crochet (DC):
    • Chain 3 (or use the chainless DC technique) at the start of each row.
    • Work DC in each stitch across for 19 stitches (Medium size) or adjust for your chosen size:
      • Small: 17 stitches.
      • Large: 21 stitches.
        Save
  3. Number of Rows:
    • Work the following total rows to cover the length of your foot:
      • Small: 12 rows.
      • Medium: 14 rows.
      • Large: 16 rows.
  4. Fasten Off Yarn:
    • Leave a long tail for sewing the back seam.

Step 4: Sewing the Back Seam

  1. Align the Heel:
    • Fold the slipper so that the two sides of the heel meet evenly.
  2. Use a Mattress Stitch to Seam the Back:
    • Thread the long yarn tail into a yarn needle.
    • Use the mattress stitch by inserting your needle through the top loops of corresponding stitches on both sides.
    • Continue the seam evenly until the back is fully closed.
  3. Weave in Ends:
    • Secure yarn ends with knots and weave the tail back and forth to hide it.

Step 5: Adding the Granny Square to the Top

  1. Align the Square with the Open Slipper Top:
    • Lay the square over the opening so it evenly covers the space. The sides of the square should match the 12-stitch unworked section.
  2. Mattress Stitch the Square:
    • Starting at one corner, sew the square to one side of the opening using the mattress stitch.
    • Work all around the square to secure it to the slipper.
    • Small gaps may appear from the square's nature—this is expected.
      Save
  3. Weave in Ends:
    • Secure and hide any remaining yarn ends.

Step 6: Add Single Crochet Trim

  1. Attach Yarn at the Back:
    • Rejoin yarn at the heel of the slipper.
  2. Single Crochet (SC) Around Top Opening:
    • Work single crochet stitches evenly around the edge of the slipper and attached square.
    • At the corners of the square, work a single crochet 2 together (SC2tog) to ensure smooth corners.
      Save
  3. Finishing:
    • Slip stitch into the first SC to join.
    • Weave in the remaining ends.

Customization Tips

  1. Yarn Choices: Experiment with different colors or textured yarns for the granny square. Use bold, spring colors or neutral tones depending on your mood.
  2. Toe Shape: Adjust the number of increase rounds to fine-tune the width of the slipper toe.
  3. Slip-Resistance: Add fabric dots or non-slip backing to the slipper soles for safety on slippery floors.

Special Techniques

  1. Magic Ring: A seamless way to begin the slipper toe.
  2. Chainless Double Crochet: Creates a cleaner and stronger edge compared to traditional chain starting stitches.
  3. Mattress Stitch: Preferred for joining edges without adding bulk to the seams.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You’ve crocheted a stylish and functional pair of square-inspired slippers. The design combines practicality with a touch of elegance, perfect for gifting or personal use. The attached granny square adds personality, and the seamless stitches ensure a comfortable fit.

Important Points

  1. Final Look: The slipper should snugly fit your foot, with a seamless back and a decorative square on top.
  2. Care Instructions: Wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry.
