Materials You Will Need
- Wool yarn (2 skeins)
- Crochet hook (size H/5mm)
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Step 1: Create a Slipper Sole
Start by creating the sole of your slipper. Hold the crochet hook and start with a slip knot. Then, chain stitch enough stitches to match the length of your foot. Single crochet in the second stitch from the hook and continue single crocheting until you reach the end of the row. Chain one and turn your work. Repeat this process for a total of 12 rows, or until the sole reaches your desired length.
Step 2: Form the Slipper Upper
To create the upper part of your slipper, start by chaining one and single crocheting evenly around the edge of the sole. When you reach the end, slip stitch into the first single crochet to join. Chain one and turn your work. Continue single crocheting in each stitch around for several rows, forming the sides of the slipper.
Step 3: Add Warmth with the Wool Yarn
Now it’s time to make your slippers cozy. Hold two strands of wool yarn together and single crochet around the upper edge of your slipper. This will create a warm and fluffy trim. Continue single crocheting around for a few more rows until you reach your desired trim height.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Once your slippers are the right height, fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use the yarn needle to weave in any loose ends and to sew up the back seam of the slipper. Finally, turn your slipper inside out to hide the seam and finish off your handmade woolen slippers.
There you have it! Follow these simple steps to create a pair of warm and snug woolen slippers to keep your feet comfortable all winter long. You can even customize your slippers by adding buttons, bows, or pom-poms. Get creative and enjoy the satisfaction of making your own cozy footwear!
