Cozy Crochet Slipper Socks — Easy Bulky-Yarn Pattern
Crochet slipper socks are a quick, cozy project that add a handmade touch to your loungewear. This easy pattern uses bulky-weight yarn and a 6.5mm hook to create a comfortable pair sized to fit an average small adult shoe. Follow the simple rectangle-and-seam construction below to make two slippers; adjust the length and row count to customize the fit.
Materials
About 150 yards (130 m) of a bulky weight yarn (for example, Red Heart Hygge)
A 6.5mm crochet hook (also used for seaming)
Gauge & Sizing
The gauge on the yarn label of a suitable bulky yarn will likely be about 11 sc x 13 rows = 4" (10cm) of single crochet.
This free pattern is sized to fit an average small adult shoe. Alter the length by changing the initial foundation chain count and alter the width by adding or subtracting rows before seaming.
Your rectangle before seaming should be about 16.5" (42cm) long and 7" (18cm) wide.
Abbreviations
sc = single crochet
hdc = half double crochet
dc = double crochet
ch = chain
st/s = stitch/stitches
sl st/s = slip stitch/slip stitches
rem = remaining
Pattern
Slipper Socks: Make 2
Chain 48.
Set up row: skip the first ch, make 1 hdc in each rem ch (47 sts).
Row 1 (toe end): ch1 (doesn’t count as a st), make 1 sc in the back loop of each of the next 4 sts. Make 1 hdc in the back loop of each rem st.
Row 2 (ankle end): ch2 (doesn’t count as a st), make 1 dc in the back loop of the first st. Make 1 hdc in the back loop of each rem st.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until your piece measures 17 inches (44 cm) or reaches about 15 rows. Make sure you’re at the end of a “row 1” row before seaming so that you’ll seam down towards the toe end with your working yarn.
Seaming
With your working yarn, work slip stitches to seam the foundation chain edge to the back loops of the final row. When you reach the bottom edge (toe), sl st seam the bottom edge together. Turn your work right-side-in and weave in your ends.
Tips: Try the rectangle on (folded and pinned) before final seaming to check length and fit. To adjust size, increase or decrease the starting chain in multiples consistent with the stitch pattern and add or remove rows before seaming.
