Crochet Slipper Socks Pattern +VIDEO (Free, Beginner Friendly)

This crochet slipper socks pattern is beginner-friendly and creates warm, cozy socks using basic crochet stitches. These slipper socks are worked from the toe up and finished with ribbed ankle cuffs for a snug fit. They are perfect for cold weather and can be customized in different sizes and colors.

I’m in the opposite hemisphere to many of my readers, and Winter is about to start here. After rummaging through my sock drawer on a colder evening, I realized I needed to make some new crochet slipper socks for myself. These slippers are warm and cozy, made from worsted-weight yarn and reaching above your ankle. The crochet ribbed tops mean they stay on in bed and allow you to use a pop of color.

How to Crochet Slipper Socks Step-by-Step

To make your slipper socks, you will start by crocheting the toe and foot in the round and then switch to flat crocheting for the heel. This will be seamed up and then you will continue in the round of the ankle ribbing. You can choose to use 2 colors like my samples or do it all in one color. This pattern uses worsted weight yarn.

Supplies for Crochet Slipper Socks

Here is list of the supplies to make this crochet slipper pattern:

• Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn (10ply, category 4) total 160m/174y. (46m/50y contrast and 115m/125y main.)
• Crochet hook: 4.5mm and 4mm.
• Stitch marker: for rounds.
• Tapestry needle (or yarn needle): To weave ends.
• Scissors

What Yarn Should You Use

This pattern uses worsted-weight yarn. Your label might say category 4 or 10 ply. Aran is also suitable.

I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease in wheat for the main part of the sock and Premier Anti-Pilling, worsted in bright green. The toes and ankle are great for using up any small balls or scrap of worsted yarn you have in your stash. A skein of the Wheat color made 3 socks so if you buy 2 balls you can make 3 pairs of crochet slippers socks. Keep one and give the other 2 sets as gifts.

Crochet slipper socks get a fair bit of wear and tear, so choose a yarn that can be washed and doesn’t pill too much. Keep your feet warm with wool or a wool blend or even a high-quality acrylic. Don’t use cotton yarn, as it won’t stretch enough or have a good stretch recovery.

Crochet Slipper Socks Pattern That’s Easy

This beginner friendly crochet pattern uses basic crochet stitches and can be crocheted in a few hours. This makes it an ideal pattern for gifts and when you just need warm feet in a hurry. I’ve made this crochet slipper socks pattern in a small, medium and large size but you can easily lengthen or shorten it to fit any size foot.

Pattern Notes

• The ch3 at the beginning of the dc rows DO count as a stitch.
• The chain stitches at the beginning of the hdc and sc rounds do not count as a stitch. The first stitch will be in the base of this chain.

Skill Level

This sipper sock pattern is easy as it mainly uses half double crochet stitches with some double crochet and single crochet in the ankle shaping.

Gauge (4″ square)

15 hdc x 11.5 rows with a 4.5m hook.

Guage is important when crocheting slipper socks, so crochet a test swatch and adjust your hook size or tension to match. Beginners – don’t skip this step or you may find that your slippers end up too small or too large.

Special Stitches – Double Crochet Front Post

The fpdc is crocheted the same way as a regular dc except you will put your hook into the post of the stitch below instead of the 2 loops at the top.

• YO, insert hook through the front post from right to left.
• YO, pull through (3 loops)
• YO, pull through 2 (2 loops)
• YO, pull through 2 (1 loop)

1. Crocheting the Toe

We will start with the toe of the crochet slipper socks which is made with 4 rounds.

1. ROUND 1: Start with 4.5 mm crochet hook. In color A, make a magic circle. Ch1 and hdc 10 into the ring (10 stitches). Pull the magic ring closed and slip stitch to join.
2. ROUND 2: Ch 1, 2 hdc in each stitch. Slip stitch to join (20 stitches).
3. ROUND 3: Ch 1, hdc in each stitch. Slip stitch to join (20 stitches).
4. ROUND 4: Ch 1. *2 hdc into next stitch, 1 hdc into next stitch. Repeat from * all around. Slip stitch to join (30 stitches). Fasten off color A.

2. Sliper Socks Foot Section

1. Join color B in any stitch. Ch 1, hdc all around (30 stitches).
2. Place the stitch marker in the final stitch to mark the end of each row.
3. Do not join the round. Instead, hdc into the first stitch to start a new row. This will allow you to crochet hdc in a spiral without noticeable joins.
4. Repeat hdc rounds to the number of rows below for your size.
5. Slip stitch after final stitch.
6. Try on the slipper. It should end at the base of your ankle. Add or subtract rows if necessary.

• SMALL – 14 rows (18 rows total)
• MEDIUM – 15 rows (19 rows total)
• LARGE – 16 rows (20 rows total).

3. Heel in Back and Forth Rows

1. *Ch 1, hdc 20 stitches. Turn.
2. Repeat from * to the number of rows below for your size.
3. For the final heel row – Ch1, hdc8, sl st 4, hdc 8. (This gives a little more shape to the bottom of the heel once it is sewn up.)

1. SMALL – 8 rows 
2. MEDIUM – 9 rows
3. LARGE – 10 rows 

4. Slipper Socks Ankle

1. Put the ends together with the slipper the right way out and join the back heel at the top with a slip stitch.
2. Ch1, sc around top of slipper (30 stitches). Try to get the 30 stitches evenly placed – 10 in first side, 10 across front, 10 in second side.
3. Ch 1, hdc around row (30 stitches).
4. Fasten off leaving a long tail.
5. Turn the slipper inside out and use the tail to whip stitch the 2 ends together.
6. Fasten off and weave all ends.

5. Finish with Ribbing

A smaller hook size here will make the slipper socks ankle opening nice and tight. If you have a small ankle, you can even go as low as a 3.5mm hook.

1. Change to color A at end of sock and 4 mm hook.
2. Ch3 (counts as first dc stitch), dc around row.
3. Ch3 (counts as dc stitch), fpdc in next stitch.
4. *Dc in next stitch, fpdc in next stitch (The fpdc is every second stitch)
5. Repeat from * all the way around.
6. End with a fpdc and slip stitch to join.
7. Repeat for row 31. Fasten off and weave in ends.

6. Repeat for Second Slipper Sock

1. Repeat for the second crocheted slipper sock.

Making Crochet Slipper Socks Non-Slip

Crochet slipper socks can be slippery on some hard floors, so it is recommended to add a non-slip surface to the bottom. Adding grip with puff paint is an easy way.

1. Turn the slipper upside down.
2. Squeeze the puffy fabric paint directly onto the marked areas. Create dots, lines, or any pattern.
3. Let the puff paint dry completely according to the instructions on the bottle. This usually takes several hours or overnight.
4. Once the paint is dry, test the slipper on various surfaces.

Sewing leather on the bottom of your slippers can also be a great non-slip option.
