If you're looking for a cozy project, how about making your own crochet slippers? It's kind of like knitting a snug little blanket for your feet. You start by creating the bottom part of the slipper, which is just like making a small, squishy mat.
Crochet Slippers Pattern
Then, step by step, you add walls to this base by crocheting around and up until you've basically built a little house for each foot. The best part is choosing the yarn—soft, fluffy, maybe in your favorite color. Once you're done, you can slide them on and feel the warmth of something handmade.
Plus, imagine how nice it would be on a chilly evening, feet up, hot drink in hand, and the comfort of knowing your toes are tucked into something made by you.
Materials Needed:
- Two balls of Cortian yarn from Yarn Art (40% cotton, 60% polyester)
- 7 millimeters crochet hook
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
- Measuring tape
Slipper Pattern:
Starting the Sole:
- Begin with a slip knot, then chain 15 loosely.
- Start in the third chain from the hook, making two double crochets into this chain.
- Make one double crochet in each of the next 11 chains.
- In the last chain, make six double crochets.
- Working on the other side, make one double crochet in the next 11 stitches.
- In the last stitch (the same space as the first set of double crochets), make two more double crochets.
- Join the round with a slip stitch.
Building the Sole Up:
- Start the next round with chain one, then make two single crochets in the next two stitches.
- Make one single crochet in the next three stitches.
- Proceed with one half double crochet in the next four stitches.
- Make one double crochet in the next four stitches.
- Then, make two double crochets in the next six stitches.
- Repeat on the other side mirroring the pattern: one double crochet in the next four stitches, one half double crochet in the next four stitches, and one single crochet in the next three stitches.
- Finish with increases: make two single crochets in the next two stitches.
- Make one single crochet in the very last stitch and join with a slip stitch.
Joining the Sole:
- You will need to create four pieces in total (two for each slipper) and join two together for each slipper to add firmness. Use slip stitches to join the pieces together around the edge.
- Finish the joining with an invisible stitch.
Creating the Upper Part:
- Position your work and count four stitches on either side of the middle front of the slipper.
- Using a new yarn strand, pull it through and chain one.
- Make single crochets in each stitch up to the marked point.
- At the end of the row, add two extra single crochets for height.
- Turn your work and without chaining, start in the second stitch, making one single crochet in each stitch to the end of the row.
- Continue for a total of eight rows, adjusting for height as preferred.
Finishing:
- After the eighth row, create an extra slip stitch at the end.
- Continue with half double crochets and single crochets as patterned till the desired height is achieved.
- Finish off with an invisible join and weave in all ends.
