I have been working on this pattern for a while now. It’s one of those things that you start… put down… pick back up… put back down… and then finally finish. I am happy to share this Quick & Easy Slipper Sock Crochet Pattern in 9 Women’s Sizes!
This pattern has been tested several times by myself with different sizes on my friends, as well as slippers being washed multiple times. This slipper pattern is comprised of simple half double crochets.
Before we go on, it’s important to measure the diameter, and the finished slipper BEFORE trying on. Red Heart Super Saver is a great yarn for so many different projects, but it’s also a little inconsistent. Just because you gauge with one color, does not mean you will meet gauge worked in another color – I’ve learned this the hard way. I am providing the diameters to check against, and the finished slipper should be about 2″ smaller than the actual foot length. I recommend measuring every time you make a pair.

Kids Quick and Easy Slipper Socks in Toddler & Big Kids Sizes
Men’s Quick & Easy Slipper Socks in 13 US Sizes
Materials:
- 74 – 118 Yards of a heavier Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s Super Saver
- I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
- Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
Material Notes:
Yarn Alternatives: Bernat’s Super Value Yarn, Caron’s One Pound, Hobby Lobby’s Crafters Secret.
I did make and test out some slippers using Vanna’s Choice Yarn, and while they worked up well, the yarn wasn’t as durable as the Super Saver yarn and became rather frizzy rather quickly. I also choose the Super Saver yarn because it has a nice cushion to it, and feels quite nice as it hugs your feet. For anyone with concerns regarding the rough feel – it will get softer after the first wash.
Time Spent:
Roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes (depending on size).
Sizes Included:
Included are Women’s US sizes 4 through 12.5. Foot sizes are included below. Choose the one best suited for your foot. Half sizes included for reference, but slipper size will be to whole size.
Gauge:
- Recommended: Follow instructions for the crown of the slipper, and check diameter to meet gauge.
- Straight Stitches: 12 HDC by 7 Rows – 4″ x 3″
Abbreviations (US Term):
- HDC – Half Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
Pattern Notes:
Shoe sizes are not the same throughout – I have learned that through much research as I am sure many of you have realized while shoe shopping. Foot lengths are included below – choose the one that best suits your foot. For example, I wear a size 8.5 sneaker and 9 sandal. My foot size is 10″ so following the numbers below, I made myself a pair of the size 9 – 9.5 slippers.
Having the beginning increase split on either side of the beginning chain helps keep the seam straight. If you are not comfortable with this way to the traditional, work using the technique that is best for you.
Join to the first half double crochet, not the beginning chain.
I recommend weaving in the beginning tail after Round 3 is finished.
Finished slipper will be about two inches shorter than foot. If using other yarns than I named, your easy could/will probably vary.
Slipper FAQ:
How do I start with a chain 3? Do I still need to make a ring? With 8/9 half double crochets in the first round, the circle does not lay flat – it cups rather, so to counter balance this cupping, we start with a chain 3, and work our round into the very first chain, instead of a ring. Make sure to leave a longer than normal tail as it will take some length away from it with the addition of stitches.
Where do I join the first round? You will slip stitch join to the first stitch of the round. If you are unsure of which stitch this is, count backwards from where your last stitch is counting it as one. In this example, I have 8 stitches.
What do you mean that you split the beginning increase? And what does “1 HDC in the next/first stitch” mean? I split my beginning increase to help keep my seam straight. I work the first stitch as normal into the first stitch of the round which is to the left of the beginning chain (indicated by the arrow on the left), and then I work the second stitch of that first increase into the same stitch as the first, but to the right of the beginning chain (indicated by the arrow on the right). By hugging the beginning chain, the seam remains straight, rather than slanted.
What if I don’t want the seam to show on the top of my slipper? I designed this slipper to be really easy with minimal sewing, so the seam shows on the top, but if you don’t want the seam to show, you can fasten off your yarn after the first half of the slipper is done, flip the piece 180 degrees around so the seam is even along the back, then find the center of the new front, and join your yarn to begin the second half of the slipper.
What is the difference between working around, and across? Working around means joined rounds, and working across means rows back and forth with no join. There are two halves to this slipper, the first half worked in rounds to fit over the foot, and the second half worked in rows to create the opening for the foot.
Where are the instructions for the heel? Indicated in each size are instructions to “scroll down to finish” where we seam up the back opening of the slipper to make it wearable.

I just doubled checked. Both rounds are written correctly.
Gina says
Can't wait to try these. My feet are always cold! Thank you Alexandra!
knots1prime says
Mine too, plus these are great to walk on. Would love to see a photo of your pair if you've had the chance to make some, and feedback is greatly appreciated!
Sonia Menegazzo says
Just love them. Easier than I thought. Thank you for sharing.
knots1prime says
Yay! Love to hear that 🙂
Sonia Menegazzo says
I will post a photo when I can.
Linda Molina says
For NONSLIP you can add a few drops of hot glue to the bottoms.
knots1prime says
Always knew of puffy paint, never thought of hot glue. Nice tip! Thanks
Myrissa Silva says
Can you please post a video of you making these??
knots1prime says
I wish I could, but right now, I don't have the equipment to do videos. It's on my list though.
Varina M says
I also would love a video. I'm a visual learner 🙂
Mitzi says
Could you write one for children's preschool age, and mens. Love the way it covers the ankles. I have not tried it yet.
knots1prime says
Been on my list for a while now. Need to get my sizes together, and get going on it. Will update when I get it done.

knots1prime says
You should test your hook and yarn by working up a gauge to start with. If your gauge measures smaller than mine, then you need to go up a hook size. If your gauge measures bigger than mine, then you need to go down a hook size.
When your gauge matches, then you start working your pattern.
If you don't gauge beforehand, your finished slipper might come out too little or too big.
Bec'sBlog says
Do you think the size 4 would fit a child who wears a size 7 shoe?
knots1prime says
I haven't done children sizes yet so I am not sure what foot sizes are equal to what size. I have provided the foot size each slipper fits. If you can, measure the length of the childs foot and see if it fits the range provided.
Alexandra says

mama trower says
Are these rows or rounds???
knots1prime says
The first half in which you are joining is worked in rounds, while the second half in which you are not joining is worked in rows.
Midlife Muser says
Thank you for the pattern. Do you, or anyone reading comments, have any ideas of something comfortable to place on the bottom to make them non-slip? I have hardwood floors and steps in my home and am afraid of falls. Thank you! 🙂
knots1prime says
You can apply puffy paint to the bottom. In a few comments up, Linda mentioned hot glue.
Aside from these, check out this post from Whistle and Ivy for more ideas, and they're tried and true: https://www.whistleandivy.com/2017/09/7-tried-and-tested-ways-to-make-knit-and-crochet-slippers-non-slip.html.
Kris says
Would love to have a video, like many am a visual learner. I’m also a beginner so video is ver helpful. Do you wash your projects before giving them as gifts or just put a washing instruction tag? I want to try these for my upcoming back sugery. Thank you for help
Alexandra says
I don’t currently have the means of making any videos. I would like to invest in the equipment, but can’t at the moment.
When I give as gifts, I just include a note with care instructions that say, “Turn inside out. Machine wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Tumble dry low heat.”
Rosie says
I found that if you use hot glue to stop slipping, do not dry in the dryer. The glue can stick to the sides of the dryer and make a big mess. Love hand crocheted slippers.
Alexandra says
I hadn’t even considered that! Even on the low heat setting?
Unknown says
I love these slippers and have made several pairs, various sizes. Could you please let me know when you have child sizes done? Thanks
Marilyn
knots1prime says
Absolutely! Thank you so much for stopping by 🙂
Alexandra says

Cheryl Heming says
I like these slippers, love that they are written in larger sizes, not just one size, i am currently crocheting a shrug for myself.
Alexandra says
I wanted to try and include all when I designed this pattern, and not have a “size medium for sizes 7 through 9” because I know that with yarn stretch, this blanket approach does not work.
Denise says
I think I messed up royally. I am making a ladies size 7. I followed the directions to round 21. The slipper only comes half way up my foot. Nowhere near a size 7. Then to finish, it sounds like there is only one more round.
Where did I go wrong?
Using Simply Soft Caron yarn with a size 4.5mm hook. It’s the hook I always use with this brand of yarn
Any help would be appreciated!
Alexandra says
Did you gauge swatch?
Sandy McMaster says
Your instructions say to ch 1 and turn…do you mean to actually turn and go the other direction? I confuse easily! Thanks
Alexandra says
That is exactly what those words mean, in all of crocheting.
Wanda Sanford says
I’ve made several pairs of these slippers. I’ve used different hook sizes and yarn sizes as well, got a variety of sized slippers. I even doubled my yarn and ended up with a slipper you can walk on leggo with. All have worked out quite well. Thx. Good pattern. Very versatile.
Alexandra says
So happy to hear it has worked out so well for you! I love experimenting with yarn types – this is a really great pattern to play with.
Lorraine Sardone says
Do you have a pattern for men’s slippers? Grandson is a size 12 men’s.
Alexandra says
https://eyeloveknots.com/2015/12/quick-and-easy-slipper-socks-in-13-mens.html
Jo says
I made my size 9 and put them on my husband!
Alexandra says
Not sure what size your husband wears, but some sizes are really close together and could stretch to fit, especially since acrylic yarn stretches soooo much! Make sure to check gauge.
Helene says
Love this pattern. Have you written one for children sizes? See above it was on your t9 do list. Please e-mail me if you have a pattern
Thanks
Alexandra says

Eve Sison says
Hi Alexandra. I tried your pattern. It’s so easy to follow. Thank you for sharing.
Alexandra says
How wonderful!
Alexandra says
It is written in rounds and rows. Just read the instructions.
Elizabeth says
Hello, are you supposed to be making the chain 13 + r2-7 And then making the R 1-24 And then connecting the two parts ?
Alexandra says
Hi Elizabeth! The first part you mentioned is the gauge sample. This is what you work up to make sure your slippers will turn out the correct size. Sometimes of the gauge is off, you may need to go up or down a hook size to match up.
The second part you mentioned is the actual instructions for making the slipper.
Helena Martínez says
preciosas zapatillas!
Kisses! Helena
Michelle says
Looks like a versatile pattern. I am bookmarking it for later use! Thank you.
Alexandra says
So welcome! Enjoy 🙂
Teresa says
I love them! I need to make at least a pair for myself. Do you add anything to the soles to avoid slipping?
Thank you for sharing at The Really crafty link Party. Pinned.
Alexandra says
I don’t add anything to mine, but you could add hot glue or puffy paint along the bottom. They also sell sprays you can add. I haven’t done either so I don’t have much experience, but the puffy paint seems easy, and probably on hand. Whistle & Ivy did a post, maybe last year, of several tested ways (by her) – she is an excellent resource, check her out.
Julie Briones says
Great tutorial, and super nice of you to supply the patterns! Thanks for sharing on Tuesday Turn About!
Alexandra says
Thanks, Julie!
Ginny says
What cute crochet shoes. I am slightly obsessed with knitted shoes. I love the simplicity of this design. Thanks for joining in Ginx Woolly Linx party for June.
Alexandra says
Your shoe knitting obsession turns into adorable knitted shoe patterns though – which I love to see (even though I don’t really knit).
Jessica A Jannenga says
I absolutely love slipper socks, especially in the winter and these are so cute! I love the different colors, you did so well!

Alexandra says
Thanks, Jessica! I took requests on colors – that’s the best way to get a good variety, right? I have several pairs, and I love to wear them all times of the year, but especially in the Winter!
Donna @ Modern on Monticello says
These look so comfortable and would be great for the winter months. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
Alexandra says
Definitely! Nice and cozy. Thanks for hosting – I enjoy partying with you!
Christi says
I love this pattern! It’s so easy and works up super fast! I would post a picture but there isn’t anywhere to do that.
Alexandra says
So glad you like it! Feel free to join my Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/370588526465910/.
elisa says
love them! i’ll make for my whole family! my husband will love them
Alexandra says
Yes! Perfect family gift 🙂
Lori Berland says
I love these! I already made 4 pairs and starting another. They make great gifts. I also made a Men’s pair for my Dad. I will be putting puff fabric paint on the bottoms.
Alexandra says
That’s so awesome to hear! This is one of my favorite patterns – I have several pairs for myself. The blog Whistle & Ivy has a good article on alternative methods for making the bottom of slippers non-slip.
Janice Cox says
Great slippers easy crochet and great directions just made my first pair. I make slippers for
the children’s hospital where I live also for a Dr. Office where a friend gets her Cemo for cancer I send 10 pairs different sizes to give to the patient.
Alexandra says
I LOVE this!
Alexandra says
The pattern notes state to join to the first stitch, not the beginning chain.
Emily Wilson says
Any additional stitch beyond 8 HDC will equal 9 stitches. 8 + 1 = 9 so how can I finish with 8 stitches? Or do you just ignore that extra stitch in the next round?
Emily Wilson says
I can’t find where it is indicated what kind of stitch you are joining with. Is it a slip-stitch?
Emily Wilson says
no need to be rude. Thanks for the help.
Heidi says
I ended up doing the magic ring start to make the hole a bit smaller at the toe. I chained two instead of three since I was using the ring to crochet the hdc in. Then I continued on with the pattern as usual. It’s working up great. Thanks for the easy pattern and all the picture directions. I love this pattern.
Alexandra says
So glad you liked it! The magic ring is a great place to start – I just have not mastered that skill yet.
Jenny says
What happens if you get to row 14and the first half barely goes half way up your foot? Do I need to add more rows?
Alexandra says
As long as you picked the correct size for your foot length, than it’s fine. This slipper is designed to be 2″ shorter than your foot length to accomodate the yarn stretch.
Jenny says
I picked the biggest size that I could. My feet are big but I was hoping that this would work out for me.
Alexandra says
With a project that the finished size is essential, taking measurements and gauge is super important.
a crocheter says
Hey there! I have been crocheting for around 2 months, and I showed myself how. I have not tried reading patterns yet, and this pattern seems easy! Right now, I am making for someone who lives far away, and I am making a size 9, and it seems small. I am on round 5, and I use red heart super saver with a 5mm crochet hook (I crochet loosely). Is this supposed to happen, or did I do something wrong? I will try to finish it.
Alexandra says
First, did you take gauge? It is super important when the finished size is essential, like this one.
If you’ve met gauge, the finished slipper is supposed to be 2″ shorter than the actual foot length to accomodate the stretch of the yarn.
a crocheter says
Hey,
I finished it, and it did look a little strange, so… I made another, and it turned out perfectly! I was confused about some of the stitches, but I got it all worked out now. Thanks for the pattern! I will try your men’s size slippers for my brother and kid-size slippers for my sister. Thanks!
Karen says
Thank you for your slipper pattern. I’ve tried a few that I found more difficult – I’d start, get frustrated tear it all apart and start over. I was so happy to finally find a pattern that was easy to use and follow. I started a pair for myself last night and finished them today. Yay!!! I got faster with the 2nd slipper!
Alexandra says
That makes me so happy to hear, Karen! Thank YOU! Now you can make a pair in every color – that’s what my sock drawer looks like, hehe!

Note on hot glue use. There are High temp and Low temp glue sticks. This may be why some have had a mess drying slippers IN the dryer. When in question, don’t use glue sticks for non-slip!
Your patterns for Men, women and children have been a life saver for me! This time at Christmas! Again!
Thank you so much, many times over!

I’m definitely going to try to make them for Christmas gifts. I watched the video and understood it. ( I can’t read a pattern) I think I can do it . I’m 86 and I really want to make something nice for my family and friends. I’ll let you know how they come out. Thank!!

These would make such lovely Christmas gifts! The most important thing is to make sure you take gauge as measured in pattern to ensure the finished slippers come out to the right size following my instructions. Please reach out if you have any questions. Happy crocheting!
