This tutorial for crocheted fitted slippers is easy to follow and they are super cozy! They fit very much like a shoe and can be made with a cuff if desired. The sole is constructed using two layers for each slipper, so they are very soft on the feet! This tutorial is a little more advanced than my “Cozy Crocheted Slippers” pattern, however, the tutorial takes you through the whole process, step by step. If you are new to crochet, make sure to check out my Beginner Crochet Series to learn all the basic tips and techniques of crochet.
I do not have a written pattern for this project, but the video tutorial demonstrates everything you need to know for these lovely crocheted fitted slippers. It is a rather long video, but I made sure not to include every step!
The yarns I used are thrift store finds, but I will link some similar products down below. The fiber is wool and is approximately a number 5 bulky yarn. Because these slippers are made to fit a specific length of foot, the stitch count will be different for each size. Therefore, you can use any weight yarn you like, but I would not go any smaller than a number 4 medium (or worsted) weight yarn.
Supply List
(Based on a women’s size 6.5 shoe…see chart below for size comparisons)
- Number 5 bulky yarn (click on county of choice to see availability near you)
- Variegated color = 115-120 yards
- Solid color = 38-40 yards
- 5.5 mm (I-9) crochet hook
- Scissors
- Darning needs
- Stitch markers
The pattern requires four sole pieces and I used a complimentary color for two of them. You could use the complimentary color for all four pieces or make the slippers all in one color. The choice is up to you!
The way the sole pieces crochet up, there is actually a left and right sole. I show in the tutorial how you can make a reverse sole, so when the two pieces are joined together they fit perfectly with wrong sides facing in and the right sides facing out. This is not essential, but is a nice little detail for a better fit.
The soles for the crocheted fitted slippers are slip-stitched together before the top of the slipper is created. Extra padding could be inserted between the two pieces to create even more comfort!
As to top of the slipper pattern is crocheted, we use reducing stitches to close up to toe. Stitch markers are very helpful to keep track of where to reduce the stitches. The video tutorial shows you every step you need to know to crochet these slippers.
Once you’ve completed the pattern, you can stop there and have a regular slipper, or you can continue adding rounds to create a cuff-style slipper.
These are by far the most comfortable slippers I’ve ever had! I have a lot of pain in my feet and these are so wonderful. I hope you enjoy the video tutorial for these crocheted fitted slippers (see below). I am still creating very little content at this time due to ongoing health issues. I do appreciate the continued support on my YouTube channel as this does provide some financial stability.
I know that some of you who follow me have chronic health conditions as well, and if you are reading this, I’d love to share this very informative interview with Dr. David Clarke on how chronic conditions happen and what can be done to heal. This interview with Dr. Howard Schubiner is also very informative!
