Approximate Size

European size 38–39 shoes (sole length: 24.5 cm).

Notes and Techniques

You'll crochet four sole pieces (two per slipper) for extra rigidity.

Invisible slip stitch technique is used for neat finishing.

The sole and slipper parts are built incrementally for shaping and structure.

Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Creating the Sole

Start:

Make a slip knot and chain 15 using your 7 mm crochet hook.

Begin in the third chain from the hook and work the following:

First Side of Sole:

• 2 DC into the third chain.
• 1 DC into the next 11 chains.
• 6 DC into the last chain.

Second Side of Sole:

Turn your work and crochet 1 DC into the next 11 chains.

2 DC into the final chain where the round began.

Join the Round:

Use a SL ST to join the last stitch to the first stitch of the round.

Step 2: Building the Second Round

Chain 1: Begin the second round with CH 1.

Increases:

• 2 SC in the next two stitches.
• 1 SC into the next three stitches.
• 1 HDC into the next four stitches.

Pattern Sequence:

• 1 DC into the next four stitches.
• 2 DC in each of the next six stitches for increased width.
• Repeat the sequence symmetrically on the other side of the sole:
• 1 DC (4 stitches), 1 HDC (4 stitches), 1 SC (3 stitches).

Finish Round:

Join with a SL ST. This completes the second sole layer.

Step 3: Joining Soles Together

Crochet four sole pieces: two for each slipper.

Layering and Stitching:

• Align two soles together.
• Start in the front of the slipper and use SL ST through both soles simultaneously.
• Work SL ST all the way around to secure the sole layers.

Step 4: Building the Slipper Upper

Mark Stitches:

Use stitch markers to mark the center front of the slipper. Count 4 stitches to the left and 4 stitches to the right (a total of 8 stitches).

Begin Upper:

Start with CH 1 and SC in each stitch across the marked section.

Tip: Hide the tail behind your work as you go.

Extra Rows:

• At the end of each row, add 2 extra SC into the sole for shaping.
• Turn your work and begin each new row in the second stitch (skip the first stitch).

Repeat Rows:

Work 8 rows total, maintaining a straight edge by skipping the first stitch of each row while adding space through two sole stitches at the end.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Invisible Slip Stitch:

At the end of row 8, make an invisible SL ST using the method shown in the video tutorial.

Use a crochet hook or needle to hide any tail ends securely in the sole.

Optional Adjustments:

If you want the slipper upper taller, add 1–2 more rows following the same method as before.

Final Step:

Adjust and neaten any edges. Trim and secure all yarn tails, ensuring a neat finish.
