Step-by-Step Crochet Baby Slippers Pattern
Step 1: Start with the Sole
- Make a Slip Knot and Chain 14 (CH 14).
- Skip the first three chains (CH 3).
- Go into the 4th chain and make:
- 2 Double Crochets (DC) in the same chain space.
- The skipped CH 3 counts as the first DC, making a total of 3 DC in this chain space.
- Make 9 DC across, one in each chain, until the second-to-last chain.
- In the last chain space:
- Work 6 DC to form a rounded edge.
- Repeat the same pattern on the opposite side:
- Work 9 DC across.
- In the final chain space:
- Work 3 more DC (to match the 6 DC on the other end).
- Slip Stitch (SL ST) into the top of the starting CH 3 to join the round.
2: Round Two
- CH 1 to start the new round.
- Work in the same space:
- 1 Single Crochet (SC) into the same stitch as the SL ST.
- In the following stitches:
- Into the next two stitches, work 2 SC in each stitch (4 SC total for these 2 stitches).
- Into the next four stitches, work 1 SC into each stitch (total of 4 SC).
- In the next stitch, make 1 Half Double Crochet (HDC).
- In the next four stitches, work 1 DC into each.
- For the six stitches rounding the end:
- Work 2 DC into each stitch to create increases.
- Repeat for the opposite side:
- Work 4 DC, then 1 HDC, and 4 SC as before.
- Over the last three stitches:
- Create 2 SC in each stitch (6 SC in total).
- SL ST into the first CH to complete the round.
3: Round Three – Begin Adding Height
- Switch colors if desired. (Add the second color while slip stitching).
- CH 2, which counts as an HDC, and make:
- 2 HDC in the same stitch as the SL ST.
- In the next stitch, work 1 HDC.
- Alternate 2 HDC in one stitch and 1 HDC in the next to create round shaping.
- For the central part of the sole:
- Work 1 HDC into the next 8 stitches.
- Then make 1 DC into the next 4 stitches.
- On the rounded edge:
- Alternate 2 DC in one stitch and 1 DC in the next for the next 12 stitches (6 sets of increases).
- Repeat the same pattern across the other side of the sole.
- Finish by slip-stitching into the first CH 2.
4: Begin the Upper Part of the Slippers
- Attach a new color if desired. Begin with 1 CH to start the round.
- Work 1 SC into each outer stitch formed along the edge of the sole.
- Once you have covered the sole, cut the yarn and weave in the loose ends.
6: Join the Sole
- With the soles wrong sides together, slip stitch the two pieces using two loops from each sole.
- Continue around until the soles are securely joined, ensuring the shoes take form.
5: Build the Slipper Upper
- Identify the middle top stitch of the sole and mark it.
- Count 3 stitches to the left and right of the marked center stitch (total of 7 stitches).
- Attach yarn at the first stitch (3rd on the left of the marked stitch) and:
- CH 1 to begin, then work 7 SC across those marked stitches. Cut the yarn to finish.
- For the next rounds, the number of SC stitches will increase by 2 in each row as you extend the slipper’s front coverage. By Round 9, you will be working 20 stitches, covering more of the top.
7: Add Decorative Edges & Straps
- For the strap, use the magic ring technique to make buttons (6 SC in a magic ring, and increase to 12 SC in the next row). Secure them to the upper edge.
- For the strap loop, chain stitches enough to fit the buttons (approximately CH 13–15). Ensure the loops pass easily over the buttons.
- Crochet into the chains to reinforce the strap. Secure ends and attach across from the buttons.
