Crochet Slipper Socks For Men and Women

Got a case of cold feet?! We’ve got the answer! These cozy slipper socks make a useful handmade gift for the friends and family you want to show extra love to this holiday season.

(Just don’t tell them the project only took you a few episodes of your favorite show to finish!) 

Easy To Customize for Any Size Feet

This slipper socks pattern is written a bit differently than you might expect.

Instead of offering a few slipper sizes for men and a few sizes for women, we decided to design this pattern with the width of your foot in mind. (The overall length of the slippers is easily adjusted in the foot section.)

So whether you’re outfitting a wide-footed woman, a narrow-footed man or anyone in between, these slippers will fit snug as a bug in a…crochet slipper sock.

How to Make Crochet Slippers Non-Slip

While the idea of having soft, chunky yarn envelope your feet is pretty darn cozy, taking a nose dive on a slippery floor is not.

You might be wondering how to make these crochet fuzzy socks non-slip if you live in a home with a lot of tile or wood floors. (I love crocheting on flip-flop soles for this exact reason.) 

Adding Leather Soles

One of my favorite ways of making crochet slippers nonslip is to add leather soles to the bottom. I used to think this needed to be an expensive endeavor, but I’ve come to realize many higher-end fabric stores sell leather scraps that are perfect for this use.

Being the frugal gal I am though, last year I tried using a thrifted leather jacket to add leather soles to some pairs of crochet slippers and it worked beautifully! The slippers were far less slippery, lasted much longer and I was able to make several soles from one jacket.

Download the Free Slipper Sole Template

Since I knew these crochet slipper socks could be the perfect candidates for some leather soles, I created a free template for you to print and trace onto your own leather if you choose to.

To download the template, subscribe in this box and you’ll get immediate access to a sole template in child and adult sizes.

Take a look at the quick video below if you’d like to see in less than 60 seconds how the jacket-to-slipper-sole transformation takes place! Here is the free Saturday Slippers pattern featured in the video.

Chunky Yarn Makes for Cozy Slippers

Once again, Lion Brand’s Wool-Ease Thick & Quick comes through to make a speedy, sophisticated-looking project. The thicker yarn and tighter gauge combine for a really comfy slipper sock that will keep your feet warm all winter long.

While the samples are made with a contrasting ankle and toe, you can work those in the same color as the slipper in order to make this a two-skein project. (If you plan to do that, there’s a Bonus Bundle size of this yarn that is an even better deal for the yardage.)

When making more than one pair of slipper socks, I suggest choosing a versatile accent color, like Fisherman, and using it on a couple of pairs of slippers to make the most of the yarn you purchase.

Okay, let’s learn how to crochet slipper socks! Find the full free pattern below.

Sizes:

This crochet sock pattern fits most sizes of women’s and men’s feet.

Choose the size based on the width sizing below, not shoe size. Slipper length will be adjusted in the Foot section for all sizes.

Slipper Sock Size	Slipper Ankle Circumference (Inches)
Narrow	approx. 7¼”
Average	approx. 9½”
Wide	approx. 11¼”

Gauge:

11 sc x 11.75 rows = 4”

Abbreviations and Glossary (US Terms):

bpdc – back post double crochet

dc – double crochet
fpdc – front post double crochet
PM – place marker
rep – repeat
RS – right side
sc – single crochet
sc2tog – single crochet two together (decrease)
sk – skip
sl st – slip stitch
sp – space
st(s) – stitch(es)
WS – wrong side

Overall Pattern Notes:

• Stitches are intended to be worked quite tightly. If you’re finding your gauge to be loose, use a smaller hook.

• Right and left crocheted slippers are worked identically.

Ankle:

Notes:
• Larger hook is used for initial chain to ensure it stays loose and stretchy. If you don’t have an 8.0mm hook, just make your foundation round intentionally loose.

• Ankle is worked in the round.

• Chain 3 at beginning of rounds always counts as a double crochet.

With Color A and larger hook:

Foundation Round: Ch 20 (26, 31), sl st to join, being careful not to twist chain. 20 (26, 31) stitches

With smaller hook:

Round 1: Ch 3, sk first ch, dc in each ch, sl st to join. 20 (26, 31) stitches

Rounds 2-3: Ch 3, fpdc around next dc, *bpdc around next dc, fpdc around next dc; rep from * to end of round, sl st to join, use Color B for sl st at end of Round 3. 20 (26, 31) stitches

Fasten off Color A. Crochet over yarn tails while working Round 4 so as to avoid weaving in.

Round 4: Ch 1, sc in each dc, do not sc in sl st, sl st to join. 20 (26, 31) stitches

Rounds 5-7: Repeat Round 4. 20 (26, 31) stitches

For extra tall slippers, repeat Round 5 (1-2) more times.

Toe:

Notes:

Row 6: Sc2tog, sc in next – (-, 3) sc, sc2tog; turn. – (-, 5) stitches

Fasten off here for Wide size

Toe Bottom:

With RS facing out, join Color A in first st of toe bottom, leaving a 12” tail where joined.

Repeat Rows 1-3 (5, 6) of Toe Top, working 1 less sc on each row for Wide size.

Finishing:

Turn crochet sock WS out. Thread one 12” tail from toe on tapestry needle and sew side of toe seam. Fasten off.

Repeat on second toe, but instead of fastening off, use same tail to whip stitch around tip of toe and cinch closed. Fasten off.

Turn slipper RS out.

Adding Leather Soles (optional):

Print the toe and heel pad templates and use them to cut leather pieces for both slippers. (Find leather at craft stores or look for thicker leather jackets and purses at thrift stores.)

Use a leather punch or a nail and hammer to make holes around each leather piece about ⅜” apart. Do not punch holes in the top section of leather that will be at the top of the slipper ankle until you know where the fold will fall.

Using a tapestry needle and a doubled over piece of yarn that matches your leather, sew soles to slipper bottoms using a whip stitch. 

Pro Tip: I’ve noticed that even the strongest yarn can wear out fairly quickly when used to secure slipper soles, so I recommend using a doubled-over piece of monofilament (fishing line) instead or in addition to give your slipper soles a longer life.
