Create the easiest pair of crochet slipper socks ever using super bulky yarn and this free crochet pattern. Makes a wonderful gift!
I love keeping my feet nice and toasty on cool evenings, and I have been wearing these nonstop since I made them! They are perfect for curling up and relaxing at home.
Design Story and Inspiration for Crochet Slipper Socks
Slippers and crochet socks were things I had never designed, and I’m always up for a challenge and trying something new!
Once I saw how easy it was to create slippers and crochet socks I was all in. I’ve created these ballet slippers with DK yarn and also these chunky ones and I love them all!
For the Holiday Maker’s Challenge, I wanted a pair that was easy and quick and would make a great gift, so I designed this pair and love them!
About the Yarn
This yarn is one of the amazing prizes I won last year for being the Motivated Multi Craft Blog winner in the Crafties awards!
I love the softness and texture of the Millamia Super Bulky Yarn. It is a size 6 yarn and works up super fast with a large 8.00mm hook.
If you would like to substitute yarn, any super bulky (6) yarn that gives you the correct gauge would work well, such as Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick.

Crochet Slipper Socks Details
These slipper socks are created with a magic circle beginning at the toe. They are worked in rounds, then changed to rows to go around the ankle.
Finally, they are seamed in the back and a simple single crochet edging is used for the top.

Hi! How long did it take for you to make these?
Hi! These were super quick. It took me less than an hour. 🙂
Thank you!! What does “CC” mean? It says change to “CC”
That means to change to the contrasting color
I have a super thick yarn 8 OZ/55 yards
100 % Merino wool
Suggests hook size 15-50
Can I make fingerless gloves with it?
I would think you could, but I haven’t ever made any with yarn that thick. I do have a mitten pattern for super bulky (category #6 yarn) that you could leave off the top and thumb: https://lovelifeyarn.com/rasta-mittens-free-crochet-pattern/
New to crochet… what does the “work even in dc” mean? Does it mean double crochet only in the even stitches? Thanks!
Hi Meg! When you see the instructions to “work even” in a stitch it just means work one stitch in each so you keep the same amount of stitches in each row or round. 🙂
I keep ending up with extra stitches in each row
Started out with 16
Next row 18
Etc
Make sure if you are counting your starting chain as a dc (which it should), then you are skipping the first dc as the chains take the place of it. Other than that I’m not sure how you could be adding stitches. You do increase until the slipper is as wide as a foot.
What size shoe is the video written for? Is it size 4-6 or 7-9?
Hi Heather – the size seen in the video is the 7-9.
