With three main stages—preparation, assembly, and cuff building—you'll be able to customize the fit and style to your liking. Whether you're looking to keep your feet warm or make a thoughtful handmade gift, these slippers offer versatility in color and design, and the ribbed cuff adds a beautiful, polished finish. This pattern is also great for using up your yarn scraps and experimenting with different granny square motifs.
Materials
- Aran weight yarn (or worsted weight)
- 6mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle for sewing
- Optional pom-pom for decoration
Preparation and Materials
You will need a total of ten squares for one slipper:
- 1 Big Square – 16 cm (6.5 inches) across (5 rounds)
- 7 Small Squares – 8 cm (3 inches) across (2 rounds)
- 2 Half Squares
Big Square (Sole):
- About 16 cm (6.5 inches) across
- Add a single crochet edge
Small Squares:
- About 8 cm (3 inches) across
- Add a single crochet edge
Tip: Leave long tail ends to sew squares together without weaving in extra ends.
Assembly of the Base Sock
Start the Toe:
- Place three small squares in a row along one edge of the Big Square (the sole). Sew them onto the big square.
Turn and Sew:
- Flip the work so the wrong sides are facing out.
Close the Toe:
- Sew the adjacent edges of Ues together to form the curved tip of the toe.
Form the Sides:
- Continue sewing the side edges of the Big Square to the side edges of the small squares to form the sides. Leave the top open for now.
Close the Heel:
- Sew a fourth small square to the back opening to close the heel.
Building the Cuff and Height
Add Height:
- Sew one small square onto the top edge on one side of the sock opening, and a second small square on the opposite top edge.
Fill the Front and Back:
- Sew the remaining small square at the front and another at the back to connect the sides.
Square Off the Top:
- Use the two half squares to fill in the gaps at the sides/corners of the opening.
Ribbing and Finishing
Pick Up Stitches (Round 1):
- Attach yarn to the top raw edge and pick up stitches around the opening using double crochet (US term). Aim for 25-30 stitches around.
Create the Ribbing:
- Alternate between Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) and Back Post Double Crochet (BPDC) for the ribbed texture.
- Start each row with a chain two.
Repeat:
- Continue repeating the ribbing row until the cuff is your desired height (e.g., 6 to 8 rows).
Final Touches:
- Fasten off yarn, weave in ends, and fold the cuff over. Add a pom-pom for decoration if desired.
