📘 Construction Overview

The slippers are made from a flat rectangle, then folded and sewn at the heel and toe to form the slipper shape. You can add a ribbed cuff or embellishments later.

This pattern is intentionally simple:

• No complicated shaping
• No increases or decreases in the main body
• Easy to memorize stitch pattern
• Easy to resize by adjusting starting chain and row count

👟 Crochet Slipper Pattern – Step-by-Step

🧶 Step 1: Make the Base Rectangle

Foundation Chain:
CH the number of stitches based on desired size (see chart above).

Row 1: HDC in 2nd CH from hook and in each CH across.
Row 2: CH 1, turn. HDC in each stitch across.
Repeat Row 2 until your rectangle is the correct height of the foot (from sole to top of foot).

Example for Women’s M: CH 32, then work 16–18 rows of HDC.

🧷 Step 2: Fold and Sew the Toe

• Fold the rectangle lengthwise (like folding a napkin in half).
• Sew across the short edge (one side) to close the toe using a yarn needle or slip stitch.
• Curve the seam slightly for a more natural toe shape.

🧷 Step 3: Form the Heel

• With the slipper still folded, sew the opposite short edge — but only halfway (about 2–2.5 inches for adults) to create a heel cup.
• Leave the top half of the back open for your ankle to slide in.

🧵 Step 4: Add a Cuff (Optional)

A cuff helps your slipper stay on better and adds a decorative finish.

Ribbed Cuff (Optional):

1. Join yarn at ankle opening.
2. Work SC or HDC evenly around the opening.
3. Repeat for 3–5 rows for a soft cuff.
4. Optional: Use FPDC/BPDC for ribbed texture.

🧦 Optional Add-Ons & Embellishments

Feature	How-To
Pom-poms or bows	Sew onto toe or cuff
Non-slip soles	Use fabric paint dots, sew-on leather soles, or rubber patches
Buttons or toggles	Add a flap and button for decoration or closure
Appliqués	Add flowers, hearts, initials, or motifs
Fur trim	Use fluffy yarn on cuff edge for winter vibes

🧒 Tips for Sizing and Adjustments

• Wide feet? Add 1–2 extra rows for height.
• Narrow foot? Make fewer rows or use thinner yarn.
• Kids’ version? Use soft yarn and a smaller hook (4.0 mm).
• Chunky version? Use bulky yarn (#5) and 6.0 mm hook; reduce CH length slightly.
