Stitches and Abbreviations for Crochet Slippers

- sc = Single Crochet Stitch
- dc= Double Crochet
- hdc = Half Double Crochet
- sl st = Slip Stitch Crochet
- ch = Chain Stitch Crochet
Supplies for Crochet Slipper Patterns
- YARN
- HOOK - Choose the crochet hook size recommended for the yarn or pattern designer.
- YARN or TAPESTRY NEEDLE - These are used for sewing seams and weaving in ends.
- SCISSORS
- MEASURING TOOLS - Measuring tape and ruler.
- OPTIONAL - Pom pom maker if you wish to decorate your crochet slippers.
Best Yarn for Crocheting Slippers
The best yarns for your free slipper patterns are wool or wool blend and acrylic. Cotton yarns are not as warm. If you are looking for slippers to crochet quickly, choose patterns that use chunky or bulky weight yarn. The majority of these crochet slipper patterns use worsted weight yarn.
Use lots of different colors of yarn and add stripes, pom poms or tassels.
Crochet Gauge for Slippers
Some of these patterns require you to crochet slippers to measurements, while others use a specific yarn, and you will need to get the crochet gauge correct. If the pattern designer gives you a gauge measurement, make sure you don't skip this step.
