Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog! In this weeks Easy Crochet series we are going to be making some Super Easy Crochet Slippers. Using a large hook and super chunky yarn means that these beauties will work up in no time at all. The pattern below is for Adult size 4/5. If you need a bigger size, simply use a 12mm hook instead of a 10mm. These would make a lovely Christmas present or (if you’re like me), you can’t bare to part with your makes, they will keep your feet lovely and toasty through those cold winter months. This pattern uses UK terminology. So, grab a cup of tea, get into your favourite crochet spot and lets get started!
FOR ONE PAIR OF SLIPPERS YOU WILL NEED –
- 100 gram Skein of Robin Paintbox Splash Super Chunky
- 10 mm (size N) Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
- Pom pom Maker (Optional)
To start – Chain (ch) 16
Round 1 – Half treble crochet (htc) in the 3rd chain from the hook (the two skipped chains do not count as a hdc, these are purely to give you length in your yarn to allow your first htc), 1 htc in the next 12 stitches , 3 htc in last chain space, turn and work the following stitches back around the other side of your chain, 1 htc in the next 12 stitches, 2 htc in next chain, slip stitch (sl st) to join to your first htc (make sure that you don’t sl st to the 2 chain spaces that you skipped at the very start of the round). At the end of this round you should have 30 htc.
Round 2 – Chain 2 (this counts as 1 htc), htc into the same stitch as you chained from, 1 htc into the next 7 stitches, 1 treble stitch (tr) into the next 5 stitches, 2 tr into the next stitch, 3 tr into your next stitch, 2 tr in next stitch, 1 tr into the next 5 stitches , 1 htc into the next 7 stitches, 2 htc into each of next 2 stitches, sl st to join.
Round 3 – Ch 1, working in back loops only, double crochet (dc) in each stitch all the way around, sl st to join.
Round 4 – Ch 1, dc into the same stitch, 1 dc into the next 12 stitches, double crochet 2 together (dc2tog), treble crochet 2 together (tc2tog) 4 times, dc2tog, double crochet into the next 13 stitches, sl st to join.
Round 5 – Ch 1, starting in same stitch, dc2tog, 1 double crochet into the next 9 stitches, dc2tog, tc2tog 2 times, dc2tog, 1 double crochet into the next 9 stitches, dc2tog, sl st to join.
Round 6 – Ch 1, dc into the same stitch, 1 double crochet into the next 9 stitches, dc2tog, tc2tog, dc2tog, 1 double crochet into the next 10 stitches, sl st to join. Finish off and weave in your ends (yes its tedious but so necessary!). Give yourself a huge cheer!!!! You have finished your slipper! Now repeat all these steps in exactly the same way to create your second slipper.
For that little extra touch why not add a pom pom to the front of your slippers.
If you want to make the soles of your slippers less slippy than you can always add some Sock Stop to the sole. Simply dot on and then leave to dry overnight!
I hope that you enjoy this tutorial. If you have any questions or problems then please do not hesitate to contact me using the contact form!
