Gather Your Supplies

You only need basic crochet supplies for slippers. Often, this makes them relatively cost-effective!

Here are the tools and materials you’ll need to crochet slippers.

  • Yarn
  • Crochet hook
  • Other notions (scissors, yarn needle, stitch markers, buttons, etc.)

What is the best yarn for crocheting slippers?

Choosing yarn can be the best part of any new project, but it can also be a little tricky. When shopping for yarn for slippers, keep these tips in mind.

  • Comfort: If the slippers aren’t soft, they probably won’t be used, so comfort is a must! 
  • Durability: Choose a high-quality yarn so your slippers hold up for a good long time.
  • Washability: If you want to toss your slippers in the washing machine, look for superwash wool or acrylic yarn. But that said, you can always hand wash them, too. 

To save you some time, we’ve included recommended yarn weights and suggested yarns for each of the slipper patterns in this list. Some of the most popular choices include Loops & Threads Impeccable, Bernat Blanket Yarn, and Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick.

Tips and Tricks

Before you start on your slippers, here are some tips that might help you.

Choose the right size.

Since most of the slipper patterns below come in multiple sizes, take a look at the sizing chart before getting started. Different designers may use different sizing – so it’s a good idea to double-check. 

Another good idea is to try on your slippers as you work to make sure they fit well. Keep in mind that crochet slippers can stretch as you wear them, so consider crocheting them a little bit smaller than your foot for the best fit.

Check your gauge.

The best way to ensure a good fit is to make a gauge swatch before starting your pattern. If your gauge is off, try sizing your crochet hook up or down until you match the designer’s gauge. 

Choose the best pattern for your needs.

Consider where you’ll wear your slippers. Indoors? Outdoors? On the carpet? On a hard floor? Choosing a pattern and yarn that suits your intended usage will help you maximize your efforts. 

While an extra soft yarn will work well in a carpeted room, you may want to try a more durable yarn or a pattern such as the Chukka Crochet Slipper Boots (#7 in the list above) that are crocheted on top of a flip-flop sole.

Add a non-slip sole.

For extra grip on hard slippery floors, consider adding a non-slip sole to your slippers. You can stitch a piece of leather or suede to the bottom of your slippers, or use a product like sock stop or puffy fabric paint.
