FAQ
What yarn is best for crochet slippers?
Bulky or super bulky acrylic or wool blend yarn is warm and works up fast. Wool blends like Wool-Ease Thick & Quick are popular. Acrylic is easy to wash. Cotton is less stretchy and can feel cold, so most designers use it only for summer or house shoes.
How do I make crochet slippers non-slip?
Crochet soles can be slippery on hard floors. You can sew on suede or faux leather soles, add dots of puffy fabric paint or silicone to the bottom, or stitch on a piece of non-slip fabric. Let paint dry fully before wearing them.
How do I get the right slipper size?
Measure your foot from heel to toe and compare it with the pattern’s size chart. Check your gauge too, since a looser stitch makes a bigger slipper. Many patterns let you add or remove rounds to adjust the length, so try them on as you go.
Pick a pair, put on a movie, and your feet will thank you by the end of the night.
