How to Create Cozy Crochet Open Toe Slippers

Materials Needed

• T-shirt yarn (two colors, one ball of each color)
• 6.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarn needle
• Measuring tape
• Stitch markers

Step 1: Starting the Chain

Begin with a slip knot.

Chain 17 for EU size 38 (US size 7.5). Adjust the number of chains for different sizes.

Step 2: Creating Double Crochets

Start in the third chain from the hook.

Yarn over, insert the hook into the third chain, pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through two loops twice to complete a double crochet.

Make an additional double crochet into the same stitch.

Make one double crochet in each of the next 13 chains.

In the last chain, make six double crochets to increase.

Step 3: Completing the First Round

Make one double crochet in each stitch until the end of the round.

Insert two double crochets in the very last stitch.

Join the round with a slip stitch in the first stitch of the round, not in the chains.

Step 4: Second Round

Step 4: Second Round

Chain one to start the new round.

Make two single crochets in the first two stitches (heel part).

Make one single crochet in the next four stitches.

Make one half double crochet in the next four stitches.

Make one double crochet in the next five stitches.

Make two double crochets in the next six stitches to increase the front part of the shoe.

Mirror the previous steps: five double crochets, four half double crochets, and four single crochets.

Make two single crochets in the next two stitches and one single crochet in the last stitch.

Join the round with an invisible slip stitch.

Step 5: Creating the Sole Layers

Create three more soles; you need a total of four soles.

Adjust any gaps with the starting tail.

Step 6: Making the Upper (Instep) Part

Choose a different color yarn if desired.

Start with a slip knot and chain 16 plus one extra chain for a total of 17 chains.

In the second chain from the hook, make a slip stitch followed by a half double crochet, alternating these stitches across the row.

At the end of the row, chain one and turn your work.

Make a row of single crochets following the same pattern in the first row.

Repeat these two-row patterns, totaling seven rows. Adjust the number of rows if desired.

Step 7: Attaching the Upper Part to the Sole

Sew the upper part of the slipper to one layer of the sole using a yarn needle.

Make sure to count and/or use stitch markers for accuracy.

Secure the stitches well.

Step 8: Joining Sole Layers

Step 8: Joining Sole Layers

Use the same or a different color yarn to join the layers.

Hold the two sole pieces together and make slip stitches through each stitch around the sole.

To finish, make an invisible slip stitch to join the yarn smoothly.

Sew any remaining tails inside the slipper.
