3. Notes (Steps to Make Bootie Slippers)
🧶 Step 1: Start with the Sole
- Chain 18 (or enough for the length of your foot).
- Work single crochet (SC) or half-double crochet (HDC) rows back and forth to create a rectangle or oval sole.
- Continue until it fits the bottom of your foot (about 5–6 rows).
🧶 Step 2: Build the Upper
- Once the sole is ready, crochet around it (working in the round).
- Do 4–5 rows of HDC or double crochet (DC) around the sole to form the body of the slipper.
🧶 Step 3: Shape the Toe
- Count stitches across the front (about 1/3 of the total).
- Decrease stitches in the toe area by skipping or combining stitches (SC2tog or HDC2tog).
- Repeat for 2–3 rounds until the front is shaped and slightly closed.
🧶 Step 4: Make the Heel and Ankle
- Leave the heel open, or seam it halfway for a snugger fit.
- Add a few more rounds around the ankle to create the bootie height.
🧶 Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Fasten off and weave in all ends.
- Add buttons, pom-poms, or a faux fur cuff if you like!
4. Conclusion
Congratulations! You’ve made a pair of cozy crochet bootie slippers. This is a quick project that can be customized in color, size, and style. The more you practice, the faster and more stylish your slippers will become. Perfect for gifts, lounging, or winter wear!
