I have now updated and corrected the Crochet Slipper Pattern to make it easier to follow.  I hope you enjoy making them and look forward to any feedback you might have!

Crochet Slippers Pattern

©Dedri Uys 2011.  All Rights Reserved.

These slippers are worked in the round, starting with the soles.  If you would like to print this pattern, please use the Print Friendly button below this post.

Size

Unfortunately this pattern is still only available in one size.  You can always go down a hook size to make them slightly smaller (or up a hook size to make them slightly bigger).

• UK – size 6 – 7
• US – size 8.5 – 9.5
• European 39 – 40

They are roughly 22.5 cm (9″) from toe to heel and will stretch at least an inch.

Materials

These slippers can be made with 2 strands of double knit (light worsted weight/#3) yarn OR 1 strand of worsted weight (#4) yarn.  Using 2 strands of double knit yarn will yield a more dense slipper than using 1 strand of worsted weight, but the size will be the same.  You can find the amounts needed for both options below.

• Yarn:
  • Option A:  100 g Double knit yarn (2 strands together) – l recommend Stylecraft Special Dk or Scheepjeswol Softfun Denim
  • Option B:  80 g Worsted weight yarn (1 strand) – I recommend Stonewashed XL
• 5mm Crochet hook  (US 9/I  UK 5) – I recommend Clover Amour Crochet Hooks
• Yarn needle – I use these Susan Bates Finishing Needles
