Crocheted or knitted boot slippers are the big thing now. I have found most
patterns are for knit, so I decided to design a few for crochet. These would
make great Christmas gifts.
I used a lighter color yarn to make all these new boot slipper patterns as a lighter color will show up the stitches much better in the photos than a dark color. However, these slippers would look great in any color.
These slippers are also made by holding 2 strands of yarn together.
MATERIALS
Yarn: I used 4 ply worsted weight - Red Heart® Super Saver - Economy Size Yarn - Warm Brown
Hook: 6.00 mm and 7.00 mm
Gauge
4 sc = 1 inch
4 rows of sc = 1 inch
Size - Will fit a foot length of 9 to 10 inches.
Abbreviations used:
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
tog - together
fpdc - front post double crochet
bpdc - back post double crochet
How to make 2 sc tog - Insert hook in stitch, yarn over hook and pull up a loop. Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over hook and pull up a loop. Yarn over hook and pull through all loops on hook.
How to do 2 dc tog - Yarn over hook, insert hook in stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over hook and pull through 2 loops on hook. Yarn over hook, insert hook in next stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over hook and pull through 2 loops on hook. Yarn over hook and pull through all loops on hook.
How to fpdc - Yarn over hook and insert hook from the front to the back around the post of the dc on the previous row. Complete as for regular dc. This Youtube page will bring up lots of videos on how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=How+to+fpdc
How to bpdc - Yarn over hook and insert hook from the back to the front around the post of the dc on the previous row. Complete as for regular dc. This Youtube page will bring up lots of videos on how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=How+to+bpdc
These slippers are made by working with 2 strands of yarn held together.
SOLE:
Ch 4
Row 1 - 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in next ch, 2 sc in last ch, ch 1, turn. (5 sc)
The rest of the rows are through the back loops of the sts only.
Row 2 - 2 sc in first sc, 1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in last sc, ch 1, turn. (7 sc)
Row 3 - 2 sc in first sc, 1 sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc in last sc, ch 1, turn. (9 sc)
Row 4 - 1 sc in each st, ch 1, turn. (9 sc)
Rows 5 to 13 - Same as Row 4
Row 14 - 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 5 sc, 2 sc tog, ch 1, turn. (7 sc)
Row 15 - 1 sc in each st, ch 1, turn.

Next, you are going to crochet all around the sole of the slipper. Slip stitch in first sc, slip stitch and ch 1 and 1 sc in next st, 1 sc in next st. Make 1 sc at the end of each row along side of sole (you now have 32 sc), place 3 sc across the back of the starting chain, ( you now have 35 sc) place 1 sc at the end of each row along other side of sole (you now have 65 sc), 1 sc in first slip stitch you made at the beginning, ss to join to the starting sc, ch 1, (Total = 66 sc) turn.
