    Whether you plan to wear you're new boots with flip flop soles as slippers or outdoor shoes, adding the faux sheepskin trim and toggle buttons really finishes up the UGG-style look of this free pattern.

    Free crochet slipper pattern that uses flip flops for the soles of the slippers. Adult women's sizes small, medium and large. For the "sheepskin" trim on your crochet sweater boots, you have two great lamb-like color options in Homespun yarn from Lion Brand. While I ultimately used the color Dove for my boots, I wanted to photograph the color Pearl as well just to show you the two colors next to each other. Pearl is on the left and Dove is on the right below. I think either would look really nice as trim and I had a hard time choosing which to use on my boots!Want to learn how to make your own crochet shoes step-by-step?

    • Size H [5.0 mm] crochet hook
    • Size K [6.5 mm] crochet hook
    • 1-2 printed copies of the “ruler” on p. 12 of the printable pattern or a measuring tape
    • 1 pair of flip flops (One size smaller than you wear normally. See pattern notes.)                      
    • Sharp tool to poke holes (I use this clay tool. You can also try a skewer, thin drill bit or tapestry needle.)
    • 1.25" (34 mm) wood toggle buttons
    • Stitch markers
    • Sharp scissors
    • Strong glue such as E6000 (optional)

    Gauge:
    • Boot Base: 5.5 sc = 2”, 7 rows = 2”
    • Boot Shaft: 4.5 sc = 2”, just under 7 rows = 2”

    Abbreviations and Glossary:
    sc – single crochet
    sk – skip
    sl st – slip stich
    ch – chain
    WS – wrong side
    RS – right side
    MC – main color
    SC – sole color
    CC - contrasting color
    Sc2tog (single crochet 2 together)– [Insert hook into next st and pull up a loop] two times, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

    Edging

    Using largest hook and CC, hold boot with sole facing to the right (to the left for left handed crocheters.) Beginning with slip knot on hook, attach yarn with sl st to inside of front shaft.

    Continuing to keep RS facing, sl st evenly and loosely around edge of front shaft working into the back (inside) loop of edge. (See photos G and J.) Fasten off.

    Repeat for other front shaft and both back shafts.

    Reference video for more detailed instruction on getting your trim to look tidy.

    Finishing

    Try on boots to adjust for calf size. Use stitch markers to pin flaps into desired position.

    Sew front shaft to back shaft together at inside of legs, using MC and a basting stitch. Take care to work only on the inside surface of the outer flaps so that your stitches aren’t visible from the outside of the boot.

    Attach buttons and button loops on the outside of the legs as follows:

    Using MC yarn and a tapestry needle, sew three buttons evenly spaced along outside edge of front shaft, as shown in photo below.

    Button Loop: With size H hook, ch 12, or a length sufficient to loop around button from back shaft. Fasten off, leaving a 6" tail. Pull tails on both sides of chain through the back shaft, approximately 1" from front edge, and knot securely. Repeat with second and third buttons, adjusting length of chains for a custom fit.

Modern crochet pattern for women!Plugging Flip Flop Holes: If you plan to wear your boots outside, replace the small rubber circle that connected your flip flop straps to the sole between your toes. Glue it in place. See second photo below. In my experience, the other two mid-foot strap plugs stay in place without glue as long as they’re cut at an angle like in the photo below.

        Ohh boo. I have answered some questions like this in my FAQs about crocheting on flip flops that might be helpful to you.

        It could have something to do with where your flip flops are from (I noticed Dollar Tree's are pretty crummy) or the tool you're using to poke the holes. Reading that post should give you some solutions. 🙂
