  • Miscellaneous: Yarn needle, measuring tape
  • Crochet Hook: J (6mm)

Details

  • Sizes: Child Large (Shoe sizes 1-4), Teen/Womens (Shoe sizes 4 and up), Mens (Shoe sizes 6 and up)/Women’s Large (Shoe Sizes 8 and up (use this size for women’s wide width)
  • Gauge: 4 inches =  10 rows, 11.5 hdc sts

Tips

  • Pattern is worked from heel to toe. Change colors as desired.

  • Colors: I carried one yarn throughout the entire slipper. I changed the second strand for the heel, middle, and toe sections.

With a yarn needle, use the yarn tail to weave in and out of the remaining sts. Pull to close the end. Secure the yarn. This is the wrong side of the slipper. 

Continue to “finishing instructions”.

Finishing

With the right sides together (after finishing the toe), fold the beginning edge in half to create the heel. With a yarn needle, use the beginning yarn tail to sew the layers of the heel edge together. 

Beginning at the row where the marker was placed, use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the center seam together. Tip: The best way to keep this seam hidden is to pick up a small amount of yarn on the outer edges of the layers. Sew from the marker towards the toe. Weave in ends.

Turn slipper right side out and finger shape the toe.

Cuffs

All Sizes are created the same way, just with fewer stitches. Stitches are listed by slipper size: child

1. With a J hook, attach 2 strands yarn to the center back of the slipper. Ch 1, hdc 30/32/34 sts around the top edge of the slipper opening, sl st in the first st to join. (30/32/34sts)

2-3. Ch 1, *FPDC around the next post, BPDC around the next post*, repeat to end of round, sl st in the first st to join. 

4. Add additional rounds for a taller cuff if desired.

5. This step creates the tab at the back of the heel. Ch 1, sc in the same st, sc 2. 

6. Ch 1, turn, sc in the same st, sc 2. 

7. Repeat the previous row for an additional 12 rows. Finish off, leaving one yarn strand at least 12” for sewing the tab. 

Fold the tab in half, towards the inside of the slipper. With a yarn needle, use the yarn tail to sew the edge of the tab to the top edge of the slipper. Make sure this is secure. Finish off and weave in ends.
