Fancy making some slippers? Here’s the pattern I devised for the Mary-Jane slippers I made for my friend. Each slipper is made in one piece, so there are no seams, and they are made in double crochet (single crochet if you’re American).
Please note: this free pattern is not for resale. All rights reserved. No part of the pattern may be reproduced in any form. The written instructions, photographs, design, and pattern are intended for personal, non-commercial use only i.e. you are not permitted to sell any items made using this pattern.
I have checked and re-checked the pattern, but if you use it and find any mistakes, or if anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to email me at thelittlehousebythesea at hotmail dot com. Oh, and if you make these, please add a pic of them to the Flickr group.
Materials
- Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton or any other Aran weight yarn – 50g/ 82m of main colour and a few metres (about 8.5 m) in contrasting colour
- Hook size 5 mm
- Four pieces of contrasting yarn to use as markers
- 2 buttons – the ones I used have a diameter of 1.5 cm.
- Large blunt ended needle
Stitches used
- ch – chain
- dc – double crochet (single crochet if you’re American)
- dc2tog – double crochet two stitches together (decrease)
Gauge
12 stitches and 18 rows to 10 cm or 4 inches measured over double crochet using a 5 mm hook.
Sizing
At the gauge stated above, the slippers will fit UK size 4 – 6.5 (EU size 37 – 39.5, US size 6.5 – 9). They might fit a UK size 7 (EU 40, US 9.5) but I haven’t been able to get someone with this size feet to try them on to check.
It doesn’t matter too much if your gauge is not exact because the slippers are designed to stretch to fit, but you don’t want your gauge to be too different as then your slippers might not fit. If your feet at are at the smaller end of the range and you are getting a couple more than 12 stitches to 10cm/ 4 inches, then the slippers will probably still fit, especially if you are using wool rather than cotton. If not, try a larger hook size. If your feet are at the larger end of the range and you are getting fewer stitches to 10 cm/ 4 inches, then, again, the slippers will probably still fit, but if not, try a smaller hook size.
METHOD
Toe-cap
The toe-cap is worked in one continuous round, or spiral as follows:
Foundation chain: using 5 mm hook, chain 6.
Round 1: dc into second chain from hook, dc into next 3 chains, 3 dc into last chain, then continue double-crocheting up the other side of chain as follows: dc into next three chains, 2dc in last chain (12 stitches).
Picture 1: the first round
Round 2: dc into each of next 5 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into each of next 5 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch (16 stitches)
Round 3: dc into each of next 6 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into each of next 7 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into next stitch (20 stitches)
Round 4: dc into each of next 7 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into each of next 9 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into next 2 stitches (24 stitches)
Round 5: dc into each stitch (24 stitches)
Round 6: dc into each stitch (24 stitches)
Sole
The sole continues on from the toe-cap, and is worked in rows as follows:
Row 1: dc into first 8 stitches of round 6. Mark first and last stitch in the row, and also the two stitches of the toe-cap on either side of the row, as shown in picture 2. 1 chain. Turn. (8 stitches)
Picture 2: stitches marked with contrasting yarn
Row 2: dc into each stitch. 1 chain. Turn. (8 stitches)
Rows 3 – 13: as row 2.
Row 14: 2 dc into first stitch, dc into next 6 stitches, 2 dc into last stitch. (10 stitches). 1 chain. Turn.
Row 15: dc into each stitch. 1 chain. Turn. (10 stitches)
Rows 16 – 19: as row 15.
Row 20: 2 dc into first stitch, dc into next 8 stitches, 2 dc into last stitch. 1 chain. Turn. (12 stitches)
Row 21: dc into each stitch. 1 chain. Turn. (12 stitches).
Rows 22-23: as row 21.
Row 24: dc into first 2 stitches, dc2tog, dc into next 4 stitches, dc2tog, dc into last 2 stitches. 1 chain. Turn. (10 stitches)
Row 25: dc into first 2 stitches, dc2tog, dc into next 2 stitches, dc2tog, dc into last 2 stitches. 1 chain. Turn. (8 stitches)
Row 26: dc into first 2 stitches, dc2tog. dc2tog, dc into last 2 stitches. 1 chain. Turn. (6 stitches)
Row 27: dc into first stitch. dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into last stitch. (4 stitches). DO NOT TURN. With contrasting thread mark first and last stitches in rows 26 and 27.
Picture 3: toe-cap and sole, showing marked stitches
Upper
You will now work the rest of the slipper in rounds.
Round 1: with bottom of sole facing you, dc into each row end (26 stitches) dc into each stitch on toe-cap (17 stitches) dc up the row ends on the other side (26 stitches) and dc into the 4 stitches on the back. (73 stitches). Move the markers as you crochet so that the ends of the each side, toe-cap and back are marked.
Round 2: repeat round 1
In rounds 3 – 6 you will decrease at both ends of each side, and at each side of the toe-cap by double-crocheting together the first two and last two stitches of both sides and the toe-cap as follows:
Round 3: dc2tog, dc into next 22 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 13 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 22 stitches, dc2 tog, dc into last 4 stitches (67 stitches)
Round 4: dc2tog, dc into next 20 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 11 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 20 stitches, dc2 tog, dc into last 4 stitches (61 stitches)
Round 5: dc2tog, dc into next 18 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 9 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 18 stitches, dc2 tog, dc into last 4 stitches (55 stitches)
Round 6: dc2tog, dc into next 16 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 7 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 16 stitches, dc2tog, dc into last 3 stitches, and slip stitch into last stitch. Cut yarn leaving a loose end to weave in. (49 stitches)
The final two rounds are worked in a contrasting yarn. First of all you make a chain and button hole for the strap, and then you join the yarn to the slippers and continue shaping the upper as follows:
Strap: With colour for trim, chain 5. Slip stitch into chain furthest from hook to form a loop (this will be the buttonhole: if your buttons have a diameter greater than 1.5 cm, then you may need to increase the size of this loop). Then chain 16.
Picture 4: strap
Left slipper
Round 7: Join chain to left slipper on the right side in the 8th stitch from the front right corner (see picture 5 ). You will then continue crocheting around the upper, decreasing at the corners and heel as in rounds 3 – 6 as follows: dc into next 7 stitches, dc2tog, dc into 4 stitches along back of slipper, dc2tog, dc into next 14 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 5 stitches (across toe-cap) dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 7 stitches (the last dc goes into the same stitch that you joined the chain to the slipper). Then dc up one side of the chain you made (16 stitches), dc into each chain in the loop (5 stitches), and dc back down the other side of the chain (16 stitches).
Picture 5: joining the strap to the left slipper
Picture 6:round 7, just before crocheting up the strap
Right slipper
Round 7: Join chain to right slipper on the left side in the 8th stitch from the front left corner. You will then continue crocheting around the upper, decreasing at the corners and heel as in rounds 3 – 6 as follows: dc into next 6 stitches, dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next five stitches (across toe-cap), dc2tog, dc2tog, dc into next 14 stitches, dc2tog, dc into 4 stitches, dc2tog, dc into next 8 stitches (the last dc goes into the same stitch that you joined the chain to the slipper). Then dc up one side of the chain you made (16 stitches), dc into each chain in the loop (5 stitches), and dc back down the other side of the chain (16 stitches).
Both slippers
Round 8: dc into each dc along top of slipper until you come back to the strap, then cast off.
To finish: Weave in ends, and sew on buttons.

September 15, 2009 at 8:39 am |
I found your site last night and made a set already! Very easy and cute.
September 23, 2009 at 7:55 pm |
I’m making my sister a pair of these for christmas. Very easy pattern to follow and one of only a few I’ve found that is in British terminology.
September 28, 2009 at 12:11 pm |
These are exactly what I’ve been looking for and I’m very much looking forward to making them! What an excellent pattern! Thank you so much!
September 29, 2009 at 10:44 am |
Thanks so much! i am in the middle of making a pair right now. I love slippers in the winter and grew out of my last pair. When I saw these, it was true love at first sight. LoL.
October 5, 2009 at 8:34 am |
I love this pattern I have made 2 pairs of these slippers and everyone just loves them. It’s starting to get cold here in Michigan, USA and I love crocheting on these cold fall/winter days.
October 5, 2009 at 9:25 am |
i love this pattern i made my mom a pair for her b-day i found this pattern easy to follow. now i wish i have a pair of my own! i hope my mom loves her slippers as much as i do. (if she doesnt i’ll just take hers!) i recommend this pattern its super fast i made a pair in 2 days.
October 5, 2009 at 4:40 pm |
These are adorable! Made a pair for myself and want to make a pair for a gift. Now, I am looking for a pattern for soccacins! Does anyone have one. Would love this pattern. Thank You!
October 6, 2009 at 5:10 am |
Thank you for sharing the pattern.
I’m looking for the pattern like this.
October 8, 2009 at 12:02 am |
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments – I’m so glad you like the slippers.
October 8, 2009 at 12:44 pm |
I am a novice at crocheting, I hope these are super easy as I want to make some for xmas gifts. The are super cute.
October 8, 2009 at 12:45 pm |
I am from calif. I hope these are super easy. I am a beginner and not very good a following directions. I am more of a visual learner. I will give them a try. The are very cute thanks
November 4, 2009 at 9:58 am |
These definitely will not fit my US size 10 feet…but they’ll look cute on someone with dainty little feet. In any case, the pattern was easy to follow and fun to make. 🙂
November 5, 2009 at 9:40 am |
I haven’t crocheted in years, and I don’t know how to read patterns. This was so easy I had them done with in 4 hours. The pattern was very easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. (oh, I made mine brown with pink trim and added a flower. They are a big hit)
November 9, 2009 at 11:39 am |
My daughter hadn’t been wanted aniother pair of Mary Jane slippers, so I have been checking all of the websites. I ran across the pattern, so now if I find the time I will made her a pair. Years ago, my grandmother made me a pair. If I remember right her pattern looked like a small square purse. It wretched out to fit the foot.

November 11, 2009 at 11:50 am |
My two girls age 11 and 14 want me to make these for them but I have only just learnt how to crochet. Thanks for the pattern they are very cute!
November 16, 2009 at 6:59 am |
The pattern indicates dc (double crochet) the pictures are in sc. (single crochet0 is there a difference in UK and USA abreviations? Thanks
November 16, 2009 at 9:13 am |
Hi Maria, yes – the stitch known as single crochet in America is called double crochet in the UK. I did write that at the beginning of the pattern, but maybe I need to make it clearer.
November 8, 2012 at 2:52 am
That’s what I’m doing wrong!!!! Sooooo glad I read this forum! I though these were meant for giants!! Lol
November 27, 2009 at 6:50 pm |
These are great!!! But they certainly need a bit of an extension for my feet, but I made an aqua-marine pair for my mum for Christmas. I’m adding an embroidery on the toe. Great pattern by the way!!! Sooo clear and easy to follow.
November 30, 2009 at 1:58 pm |
These are the cutest Mary Jane slippers I’ve seen. They look modern and easy to make. Thanks so much for sharing the pattern and for letting me know that it was in British Terminology so I would be aware of it as I made the slippers. Guess what I’ll be making for sisters and friends for Christmas??
December 3, 2009 at 11:57 am |
I would like to make these for my grandaughter. She is only 3 yrs. old, so I would have to down size, but what I would like to know is there any way to make these with the skid dots on the bottom of the slipper? (to help them not fall when they run or walk).
Thank You for any info you can give me.
Debbie
December 3, 2009 at 12:52 pm |
I had an email from someone who said they had put little dots of Scribbles 3-D paint on the bottom of theirs to make them non-slip.
December 4, 2009 at 9:06 am |
AMAZING!!! This pattern was so nicely written, and SO easy to understand! I am an “experienced beginner” at crochetting, and I had no problem making these! Thanks for the GREAT pattern! God Bless!!!
December 4, 2009 at 1:49 pm |
Calypso, Thanks for the tip on the dots with the scribble paints.
December 11, 2009 at 4:15 am |
Hello,
Thanks for this lovely pattern, I was looking for something just like this, I love the way you used photos at each stage, make s it much easier for a beginner like myself to understand, I can’t wait to make a pair of these!
many thanks again!
December 24, 2009 at 2:42 pm |
i LOVE this pattern, i cant wait to make my own lil changes to work them up for my daughter. tyvm!
January 5, 2010 at 5:01 am |
Very cute! I’ve never entertained the idea of crocheting socks or any other footwear before, but these are adorable… I think I know what my next project is.
January 10, 2010 at 4:20 pm |
Thank you for posting this pattern! I love them! For the record, they do fit up to US size 10. 🙂
January 21, 2010 at 4:36 am |
Thank you so much for sharing this “oh so cute” slipper pattern. I can not wait to make them for my mother and myself. Your pattern and pictures are awesome!! 🙂 Tamara
January 22, 2010 at 1:59 pm |
Super pattern – loving making them! Made them Beige (off brown) with orange trim!..Toooo Cute!!! Thanks
January 22, 2010 at 6:09 pm |
These are super cute! I’m making a pair right now and the pattern is really easy to follow, which is good because I am new to crochet. I have my left slipper complete and can already tell it will be a titch too small for my ginormous feet. 😦 Because I am new to this I’m not sure the best way to go about making them a little bigger? Any suggestions? I was thinking about just adding a few extra rows in the sole between rows 3-13…does anyone think this would work??
January 22, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Hi Lila, yes, adding some extra row between rows 3 – 13 would help, just make sure you add an even number of extra rows.
January 23, 2010 at 3:51 am |
Thanks so much! I plan on using my first pair as a gift for my more petite-footed friend. 😉
January 24, 2010 at 9:06 am |
I love how you showed pictures of the work some of the other sllippers that i have tried to make are really hard and confusing thank you for making it easier to make these ill be sure to teach my mom!:cheer: thank you! 🙂
February 20, 2010 at 4:39 pm |
I am unable to get out much and crocheting helps to pass the time plus makes you feel better. Thank you for you great pattern. Could I use a smaller needle to make smaller slippers. how far down in size can I go without messing up the pattern Thanks Kanree
February 28, 2010 at 10:10 pm |
I just made a pair of these, they are so awesome! I’m very new to crochet, and the directions are very easy to follow. I tried looking for other patterns like this and they were all very confusing, and the end product didn’t look as nice. I’m thinking I might make these as Christmas gifts next year : D
March 22, 2010 at 12:25 am |
These are indeed beatiful mary janes, probably up there with the best I’ve seen; however, I don’t know what you are talking about with the ‘single crochet in America is a double crochet in the Uk.’ That’s nonsense! I’m American, born in Memphis; my Mother is English, and taught me to crochet. I’ve lived in both countries for equal periods throughout my life, went to school mostly in the UK. My Mother taught me both the single crochet and the double crochet. These two crochet stitches are distinctly different no matter whether one is American or British.
March 22, 2010 at 12:36 am
Hi, the UK and US use different terms for the same stitches, so the stitch called single crochet in the US is called double crochet in the UK, and the stitch called double crochet in the US is called treble crochet in the UK. Same stitches, different names. http://www.yarnforward.com/crochet.html
March 27, 2010 at 6:51 am |
5mm Hook,what size is that…(American)?..thanks
April 1, 2010 at 8:53 am |
It’s H/8… I think!

hola, soy española y no entiendo nada, y quiero aprender a hacer estos zapatitos para dormir
May 2, 2010 at 1:40 am |
I love this pattern! I have a pair of these (store bought) and have about worn them through. Thanks!!
May 7, 2010 at 12:42 pm |
I have been looking for a pattern for a friend of mines mother who has diabetes. She cannot wear shoes, so she is unable to attend church. I think this pattern is what I have been looking for because it is seamless. She has tiny feet so i hope I can adjust it.
May 10, 2010 at 8:07 am |
can’t down load the pattern
May 10, 2010 at 11:35 pm |
Very kind you are sharing the pattern for these slippers…they are too expensive an crappy to buy! Thank you, I will use this respectfully!
It is upsetting when someone might be using your work for profit (I just read your post above) I do not buy anything…hardly ever…it’s true!! And if I can make it myself – I will usually have a go but I would never sell anything that was not mine originally.
May 23, 2010 at 12:46 pm |
Very nice design. Congratulations!!
Knit-tweaker
May 31, 2010 at 12:58 am |
I can’t believe it. I have been looking for free slipper patterns for the last hour and when I was ready to give up I came across this one. It is the exact pattern I was looking for and I can’t wait to get started on it. Thank you so much for posting it.
June 5, 2010 at 6:57 pm |
I just start to make of this.
This pattern is really enjoy to make and easy to understand.
Thanks a lot for sharing the patterns.
June 10, 2010 at 2:25 pm |
After doing the toe it says to do 13 rows of 8 dc, it is SUPER long! WAY TOO LONG! I noticed in one of the diagrams, it looks like you only did 5 or 6 rows of 8 dc. HELP!! Please and thank you! 😉
June 10, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Ah, could the problem be that you are doing American double crochets instead of British double crochets? British double crochets are the same as American single crochets.
June 21, 2010 at 10:16 am |
Love the slippers…… can I come for a visit? Love the view!!! 😀 just joking!
August 3, 2010 at 9:39 am |
I love these slippers I have made several pairs, including one where I added eyes, ears and a tongue for puppy slippers, and a pair with a E(3.5mm) hook in a smaller size for my 4 year old daughter. thanks so much for this great pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 5, 2010 at 6:05 pm |
[…] on a sewing machine (rather than by hand) more than I used to. So, I’ve made a few pairs of crocheted Mary Jane slippers for myself and friends, and I’m making good progress on another pair of socks using the […]
August 6, 2010 at 10:01 am |
i made a pair for me then used the pattern for my 3 year old. I just used a smaller yarn with a smaller needle and she loves them.
Thank you for creating such an easy and fun pattern. I am going to make these for the new moms in my life to keep their feet warm on the way to the nursery.
Thank you again!
August 9, 2010 at 9:55 am |
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Can’t wait to give these a try. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!
August 15, 2010 at 1:22 pm |
I copyed your pattern, but only go the pictures not a pattern, could you help me on this /?????????
August 16, 2010 at 3:38 am |
These are so nice. I really liked them, they are the best slipper pattern I have found so far. The pictures are really good and they helped me a alot
August 19, 2010 at 11:09 am |
Hola Pilar. El inglés es un idioma sencillo,a mi entender,no estaría de más que aprendieses . He traducido el patrón a castellano ,ponte en contacto conmigo si quieres que compartamos.
August 25, 2010 at 12:03 pm |
oh my gosh thank you so much,
i can make a pair in a day and i can’t wait to give the to all my family members for christmas
August 29, 2010 at 5:01 am |
Hi!! I see you included instructions for larger adult feet, but what about the “little ladies”? I have a six year old and an eight year old who walk around the house bare foot on our hard wood floors all the time. I’m very old school, particularly when someone has a cold…you have to keep your feet warm. Their feet in inches measure 8″ and 8 1/2″. I saw someone who sent you a response on 8/6 @10:01 Jen Brugger. She said that she used a smaller needle and yarn…So hopefully this works. But, I have not crocheted for years. So, Getting a feel for things I think will take some time again. Pleas help if you can that way, I don’t have to run through too many trials and many errors. My “little ladies” become “little monsters” if they are waiting too long for anything…
August 29, 2010 at 3:51 pm
Hi, I made a pair using the same yarn, but a 4.5 mm hook to fit an 8 year old with 8″ long feet and they fit her. (I think I shortened the strap by a couple of stitches, too.)
September 7, 2010 at 4:54 am |
Love this pattern. Thanks for sharing and thanks also for the great details.
September 26, 2010 at 12:35 am |
Good morning. Love your slippers and want to try the pattern. One question..I know your DC is our (American) SC so when you say DC2tog…for Americans we should SC2tog? Seems silly to ask but want to be sure.
Thank you!
September 26, 2010 at 1:32 am
Hello, yes British dc2tog is American sc2tog. 🙂
September 26, 2010 at 5:37 am |
I am such a novice…can you use worsted weight yarn made out of acrylic and wool?
Thanks again.
October 10, 2010 at 1:09 pm |
Hi. I just wanted to say I used Peaches n’ Cream cotton yarn for this and a US size H (5.00 mm) hook. The sizing works for larger feet as well. I normally wear a size US woman’s 11 and I have severe swelling in my feet and legs and these fit me perfectly without having to make any adjustments. And they work up in just a couple of hours! This was my first attempt at making any time of slippers and I found it very easy, once I remembered that a dc was actually a sc for me! 🙂
October 10, 2010 at 1:21 pm |
And extension of my previous comment: After reading others’ comments and seeing people say that these will not fit their size 10 feet, I have to say that YES they will! I wear a size 11 (US) and these fit me great. Not only do I have long feet, I also have SEVERE swelling due to some leg conditions and my feet are much thicker than normal and these still fit without being tight or binding. Even with the strap across them. I had considered leaving the strap off due to my swelling, but these give so much that I didn’t need to.
October 10, 2010 at 3:11 pm |
Do you happen to be left handed? Because I have had to work like you are to get these to work right. I’ve only half way through the first one, I just wanted to know if you were.
I think these are just GORGEOUS and will look great on my pregnant feet when I go to the hospital to have my baby 🙂
October 10, 2010 at 3:12 pm |
I totally spelled my Handle on here wrong. So wrong.
October 18, 2010 at 12:11 pm |
So Ive gotten two slippers made, one blue and one pink. Almost done with the matching blue. I wanted to let you know I love these and I will be posting pictures on my Ravelry page! I also read your post about that person selling your slippers. Sucky. I hope you dealt with them.
October 18, 2010 at 1:53 pm |
Thank you so much for sharing this! The slippers look so much nicer than others I’ve seen and the pattern is explained so clearly! I can’t wait to try this out 🙂
October 19, 2010 at 9:25 am |
The are amazing! I showed them to my friend and we have halted all our current projects just to make these! Thank you so much!!
October 21, 2010 at 4:04 am |
You have no idea how happy I’m to find this sooper cute slippers pattern. Thank you so much for making them free. THANK YOU !!!
October 23, 2010 at 12:07 pm |
These are awesome. I will definitely be making them soon! Thank you for posting this here for free. ^_^
November 4, 2010 at 3:44 pm |
Thank you for sharing this wonderful pattern. I’m a new crocheter, but I really want to give these a try. They are so whimsical. I love the colors you used.
November 13, 2010 at 1:57 pm |
im trying to make these for a 2 yr old. how would I re-size the pattern
November 16, 2010 at 1:09 pm |
Just darling! I’m in love with mine. I used a wool yarn and they’re wonderful for winter. I’m making these for all the ladies in my family this year for Christmas.
I would second the question just before mine by Dorothy: is it possible to resize for children?
November 22, 2010 at 4:13 pm |
I’ve made myself a pair of these with no problems, but I’m now making some as Christmas gifts, and I decided to use Caron Simply Soft yarn because it feels a lot nicer than Red Heart (as least in my opinion)….However, the first one I made came out about 2/3 the size I need…I tried going up a hook size (to 5.5mm) and crocheting very loosely, but they are still small…I know they will stretch, but it literally hurts to put them on my feet. No way I’m giving that pair as a gift! I’m afraid going up another hook size will make them way too big….
Any suggestions about making these with Simply Soft? I’m starting to think I should have started working on these earlier…..
June 30, 2011 at 8:37 pm
I also have the same problem as you did. Do you have any idea how am I going to adjust it so that it fits me? Thanks. 🙂

Hi, I love these mary janes, but I speak in spanish so it’s a bit difficult for me to ttranslate the stiches in spanish. Do you have a symbol pattern to understand better?
thanks so much
January 8, 2011 at 3:41 pm
I don’t, I’m afraid. Sorry.
December 11, 2010 at 5:15 am |
First, I would like to thank you for this pattern. The slippers I made turned out very cute and cozy! I used black for the toe and bottom part, blue for the body, and black for the strap. I wear a US size 10 shoe (I’m not Kimzilla for nothing), so I decided to try this with a 5.5mm hook. My feet are slightly narrow for their length and that hook size was just perfect with this pattern. At only three or four hours per pair, I will be making many more of these!
December 15, 2010 at 8:25 am |
There is a problem with this pattern. When crocheting the sole you need to chain 2 and the end of each row and begin again in the second chain from hook. The first chain represents the first dc.
January 8, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Hi Margie, thanks for your comment. However, I am pretty confident that the pattern as written is correct, and that you only have to chain one and then turn. That’s how I have made all of my slippers. 🙂
January 2, 2011 at 11:33 am |
I have made this pattern in various sizes. I love them. My grandbabies loved the ones I gave them for Christmas! Thanks for the pattern.

THANK YOU for making such an easy to follow pattern, even for a novice hooker like me. If you click on my facebook page [linked to my name here] you can see my version – I loved making them!
January 11, 2011 at 4:01 pm |
I don’t understand why you need yarn markers for this pattern. It can easily be done without them.. I think it would actually be harder with them. There is no point. But I love this pattern thank you!
January 23, 2011 at 6:29 am |
I liked the slippers very much ^^
And my, is that cotton yarn from Debbie Bliss as silky as it looks??? What a wonderful look!
Thanks for sharing, that’s very kind 🙂
February 12, 2011 at 2:23 pm |
Thank you for sharing your pattern. I’m almost finished with my first pair, but I’ve been thinking of who I could crochet other pairs for because I enjoyed making them so much. My next pair will be for a pregnant friend to wear during her stay in the hospital. These are way cuter than the hospital slipper socks!
February 24, 2011 at 7:44 am |
Thanks so much for this great pattern! I just taught myself to crochet over Christmas and am absolutely addicted. I plan on making these slippers as well as your Moriarty hat. Your photos and step-by-step instructions make it very easy for a newbie. Thanks again!
March 1, 2011 at 3:37 pm |
I am so glad that i found this pattern!!!! i just finished the first slipper and working on the second and i sooooo love them!!!! thanks for sharing this with us all!!!!!!! My step dad even said he wanted a pair and i told him that he couldnt have these kind cuz they are Mary Janes for girls and he said “so ill be mary john” ha ha ha i laughed my butt off ha ha ha Thanks again for sharing this pattern!!! =-[)
March 7, 2011 at 7:54 am |
Thank you soo much for your free pattern! I made my first pair and loved them. I got a little carried away and I think I added an extra row and one of the slippers looks a little bit bigger than the other. I love them anyway. Made them for my sister that will be hospitalized shortly. Thanks again for your time and effort of giving us these easy to follow instructions!!!!

August 9, 2011 at 1:38 pm |
I have made a set of these and I do believe that my daughter (who is in the military) is gunna love them! I would like to make a pair for my older daughter. I had her try this pair on and they are like one or two rows too short. How do I go about making them at least a couple rows taller? I mean at which point in the pattern do I make the extra row(s)?
August 9, 2011 at 2:00 pm
To lengthen them, add a couple of rows in the sole before row 13, that is before you start the sole increases. I hope your daughters like them.
August 9, 2011 at 4:15 pm |
I don’t need to lengthen them, I need to make the upper taller. The length works, just not the height. I was thinking that I could add one extra round between 2 and 3. Then begin the decreasing in round four of the upper. Will that work for making the upper taller?
August 9, 2011 at 5:02 pm
Aha, I see. Sorry! Yes, adding an extra round before you start the decrease rounds should work, although I haven’t tried it myself so can’t say for sure.
September 9, 2011 at 1:43 pm |
Hello, thank you for this cute pattern! It is very easy to follow. I have a problem though…I have tried twice to make a slipper and they come out way to big! I think it is between row 3-13 where the problem is. I have made the adjustment from double crochet to single crochet for the US stitch. Any suggestions?
October 2, 2011 at 8:12 pm |
Hi, I’ve just made one of these and it’s beautiful and so easy to do, your pattern is really clear and the pictures are very helpful. I made it a bit smaller for my niece in Holland, just did a few less rows on the sole bit and shortened the strap by a few chains. Now I just have to try to make the other one the same size!

Hello there,
I was looking for a pattern exactly like this, thanks for sharing!
At first the sole came out ridiculously long, I think my wool or crochet hook was the wrong size, so I adjusted them much smaller. I was thinking of adding a bit more crochet decoration and lining to make these extra warm. These are going to be so great for winter.
Thanks so much x
October 12, 2011 at 6:44 am |
Great slippers! I already made a pair for myself and I want to make more (for me) in different colors! Thanks so much for sharing!

November 8, 2011 at 10:29 pm |
Could you please explain what “dc – double crochet (single crochet if you’re American)” means? I am an American.
Do you have a pattern for slipper/socks for the beginner?
November 8, 2011 at 11:26 pm
It means that if you are American then the stitch used is the one you know as single crochet.
I’m afraid I don’t have a pattern for slipper/ socks for the beginner, no.
November 9, 2011 at 5:57 am |
I just made myself a pair. I wear us size 8.5 and they do stretch to fit, but I think if I were to make another pair id use a 5.5mm hook, though I do tend to keep my stitches pretty tight.
November 13, 2011 at 6:39 am |
I just whipped up a pair of these this afternoon, and they are fantastic; I’ve already gone to buy yarn so I can make some into gifts for friends and family. Even though I stitch quite tightly, these fit my US size 9.5/10 feet just fine; I think my success partly stemmed from using fairly chunky yarn. The other benefit of that is that it leaves no gaps between the stitches, even when stretched over my feet, so there will be no chilly breezes making my toes cold this winter.
Thanks so much for this great pattern. Not only does it look good when followed correctly (as with my right slipper), but it is also forgiving of a few mistakes (as with the left slipper)!

Word to the speed readers like myself..make sure you have the right ply yarn before attempting this..or you will have little mini mary janes. Comical, yes…practical, no.

Will be trying this one again for sure…adult sized. LOL

You state that the slippers cannot be sold. My granddaughter’s Girl Scout troop are raising money to go to the Grand Cannon next summer 2013. I was hoping that I could make these and use them as a raffle item or sell some of them at the Ziti Fundraising dinners we are hosting. The girls must raise the money it is part of the badge they are earning. So I guess I am asking permission to make this slipper and sell it for fundraising purposes. I can give you the leaders name if you need it. Please email me and let me know if I can use your pattern this way. I think the pattern is cute and the slipper that is made with it will earn some money for the Girl Scouts.

If you wanted to make these larger or smaller, depending on the foot size (U.S.), would you use a larger or smaller hook, or change something else in the instructions to deal with the size change? They look very comfortable and easy as well. I do a lot of afghans, scarves, and belts, but have yet to try socks or slippers like these. thanks for the free pattern.

Hello; I hope you are still responding to comments on this post! I must be doing something wrong. In photo 2, is the original line of 6 chain stitches (obscured in the photo) running horizontally across the photo, parallel to the line of stitches across the top (row 1)? Because when I get to the end of round 6, if I crochet 8 more stitches, I will have 4 on one side of the original chain, 1 on top, and three on the other side. I suspect I should have them all on the same side, and that I counted wrong somewhere in the beginning. Can you confirm this? Thanks!

September 27, 2012 at 6:59 am |
I have to say out of all the slippers I’ve done these are my favorite but you have one problem in round three of the toe where it says to dc 6 then 3 in one then 7 then 3 in in the next and two more to make a total of 20 the first 6 should actually be 7 to make a total of 20 otherwise you will end up with 19
September 27, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Hi, thanks for your comment. Round three is actually “dc into each of next 6 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into each of next 7 stitches, 3 dc into next stitch, dc into next stitch” which makes 20 stitches, not 19. 🙂

Could you just use a smaller hook, for a smaller pair? for like a three year old?
October 17, 2012 at 2:19 pm
Yes you could, though I don’t know what size you’d use. I used the same yarn as I used in this pattern and a size 4 mm hook to make some for a 7 year old once. You could use a finer yarn and a smaller hook to make a smaller pair, and you could also make them shorter by crocheting fewer rows in the sole.

Darn, I wish I had read the comments before starting. I was using double crochet and made a ski slipper….It’s actually SC…I had no idea there was a difference until now…I think I will frog the middle back to 5 instead of 13 rows and try that out…might still fit human feet and not the Easter bunnies ;P
February 23, 2013 at 3:08 pm |
Hi, I must confess that the instructions are somehow confusing,especially at the toe cap section. I am not exactly an experienced crocheter but I have worked quite a few projects. You might think I am kind of dumb. the row or round that I don´t understand is round 1. I don´t think that the language is a barrier in my case because,although I´m a Spanish speaking person, I learned English in the States, and taught it as a second language for years before I finally retired 2 years ago. And I understand the difference between double crochet (UK) and single crochet(USA).Really I love the look of those slippers, and would like to make them for myself. I¨d appreciate it if you just send me a little note clarifying it.

March 26, 2013 at 5:34 pm |
I found your pattern on Longest and thought it cute. I picked up my hook tonight and attempted it. I do have one question. Could you give measurements from the toe cap to the end for picture 3? I stitched mine up and it looks like it would fit an extremely long foot with proportionally tiny toes. Thanks!

It does fit a size 9.5 us

These are so cute. Can’t wait to make a pair. Always looking for little things for the grandmas. My girls also saw them and wanted matching pairs. Have you ever made a smaller size? Will send picture when i finish and if i can come up with a smaller size. Thanks again for sharing your craft. Isn’t it fun.

Can’t wait to crochet these!

I just started crochet’n and slightly understand the conversion from the UK to US, but am having a hard time with the dc2tog I understand it to be sc2tog and still dont have the orrrect amount of stitches …what am I doing wrong??
September 21, 2013 at 7:43 pm |
Just finished my first pair of these!! I used a bulkier yarn so I decreased the number of rows across the sole of the slipper & decreased the same amount on the sides as well. They turned out wonderfully! These are going to make a great birthday present for my Aunt 🙂 Thank you so much!
October 15, 2013 at 5:55 pm |
These are the first crochet slippers I’ve ever made, that actually fit properly! Thank you for such a cute, precise, and thorough pattern!
October 16, 2013 at 2:53 am |
thanks a bunches. a lot of patterns were very hard to understand. but your pictures help. love love love these.
November 15, 2013 at 4:39 pm |
I love these slippers and I’m having a hard time figuring this pattern out. From row20 and after my slipper is not looking like the picture at all. Posting a video would be of great help!
November 17, 2013 at 11:33 am |
I just want to say that I wear size 11 in US womens, and the 5mm gauge hook made the perfect size for me, granted I stretched it. Just so you know!
December 4, 2013 at 11:18 am |
First of all, love how simple this was for me to do. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit me and I am a size 8 womens US. They seem like they’d fit more of a womans size 6US. Will try again and see if they fit the second time. Love the pattern!! Thank u.
December 12, 2013 at 9:02 am |
I’m off to buy some cotton today to make these. Do you think i could wear them in the office?
December 15, 2013 at 9:49 am |
Thanks for a great pattern. I’m making them for xmas gift. I doubled sock yarn and used a 5mm hook. After testing size on my daughter, turned out a little too long, I’m starting over leaving out a few rows . It’s not a problem as they are quite quick to do.
January 4, 2014 at 12:18 pm |
these were so cute I just had to make a pair. So easy to make up. Thank-You.
January 7, 2014 at 3:10 am |
I’m a new crocheter and have struggled with this pattern. Sometimes it turns out and sometimes it doesn’t. I think the trouble starts when I do the last 6 rows before the contrasting yarn. I count 26 then 16 at the toe cap not 17 then 26 again and 4 at the back and its downhill from there. The slipper gets twisted out of shape when it doesn’t work yet I’ve made 4 pairs that did work. I’m so frustrated not being able to figure out where I go wrong. HELP PLEASE.
January 10, 2014 at 11:59 am
Make sure you are using the markers like she does in the pictures and count perfectly and it will come out right

January 20, 2014 at 11:44 am |
i keep ripping out the first slipper and redoing it, but no matter what, it always ends up doing this (i mark the last stitch of each row and count every stitch in each row):
the last stitch of each row ends up being one stitch prior to the last stitch of the previous row; thus, i can’t really start the sole. row 6 may be 24 stitches long but there are 25 stitches: the last stitch from row 5 is still there. i see no evidence of slip stitches. if i don’t crochet into the LAST eight stitches of row six–i keep trying to figure things out from your photos but can’t see the toe head-on, but i think you have it done so that the first row lies ACROSS the toes–i will end up with a diagonal tip.
January 20, 2014 at 12:07 pm |
Can you use this for a sock monkey slipper he wears a size 15 shoe so i would need it for 16 .

I have a question though. How would I go about making a double sole for it? I want to sandwich a piece of felt in between two soles to make it more comfy.
Thanks!

Hi Calypso,
Your pattern fascinated me. I just love it. I want to make this pattern for my 6 year old daughter( shoe size US 1.5 to 3) 8″. After reading all the comments I am thinking that a 4.5 or 5 mm hook will give me the appropriate size. But should I make any changes in the pattern? Please advise.

In her instructions just under the first set of slipper pics, she says the slippers are made in double crochet (single crochet if your American). So that means her pattern is written in European English.

In case your son or little girl would like to engage in high school graduation basketball, they should work towards core muscle tissue instruction. This consists of their ab muscles, back, and hips. A core which is not sufficiently strong boundaries the linkage among hands and hip and legs. Strong key muscles aid you with several motions linked to basketball.
