Crochet Slipper Boots

Keep your feet toasty warm this winter with a pair of Hibernation Crochet Slipper Boots. Lion Brand Hue & Me yarn adds extra warmth to these chunky crochet slippers, while Wool Ease and Scarfie Lite add lightweight, textured cuffs.

Made with soft, high-quality yarn and designed for a snug fit, they’re ideal for lounging around the house.

Play around with a variety of yarn colors and buttons to combine your own personal style with these ladies slipper boots!

If you want to make hard sole slipper boots, sew a flip-flop sole to the bottom of them.

How to Wash Crochet Slippers

My youngest bought herself a pair of UGG slipper boots and loves them, but they aren’t as easy to care for as crocheted slippers are. I love the convenience of being able to toss my slippers in the washer!

Many crocheters will ask ‘Can you wash crochet in a washing machine?’

Depending on the yarn you used to crochet the slippers, yes, in most cases, you can simply toss your handmade slippers in the washing machine. Make sure to check the yarn label for care instructions first.

If the yarn you used is machine washable, I recommend washing them on a gentle cycle in cold or warm water. Then, lay them flat to dry.

Tip: If you have them handy, I like to wash my crochet slippers in mesh laundry bags.

How to Make Crochet Slippers Non-Slip

Handmade slippers are great, but they can be super slippery on hard surfaces!

When my kids were little and we had hardwood floors and stairs, I was always worried about them slipping and falling. So, when I started crocheting slippers for them, I wanted a fun, quick, and easy way to make the soles non-slip.

That’s when I remembered making non-slip socks with my friends for a high school sock hop. We used Tulip Puff Paint for our socks so I figured why not try it on the kids slippers… it worked great!

My kids loved being able to choose their own colors and help paint shapes on the soles of their slippers. They made little stars, hearts, and squiggly lines and their favorite was the glow-in-the-dark puff paint.

Although there are many great options to keep crochet slippers from slipping, such as Plasti Dip or sewing non-slip fabric onto the soles, I’ve found that the easiest, most fun, and most cost effective is Tulip Puff Paint!

Yarn

For these women’s slipper boots, I wanted to make sure my toes would be toasty warm, and at the same time not have too much bulk around my ankles. Because of this, I chose to use Lion Brand Hue & Me bulky yarn to add extra warmth to these chunky crochet slipper boots and then Lion Brand Yarn Wool Ease and Scarfie Lite to add lightweight, textured cuffs.

Hue & Me yarn is a chunky weight / 5 yarn that is an acrylic wool blend that is perfect for making warm slipper boots.

Lion Brand Wool Ease and Scarfie Lite are both worsted weight / 4 yarns that are perfect for adding a little style and texture to your slippers.

Step 1: Lay the upper on top of the sole. Line up the center toe of the upper with the sole and use a locking stitch marker to hold the pieces together. Line up the center of each heel and use a locking stitch marker to hold them together.

Step 2: Place a few other locking stitch markers around the perimeter to hold the pieces in place while you seam them.

Step 3: With MC yarn & a 5.50mm crochet hook, join yarn with a standing sc in the back center of the heel (make sure to work through both layers of the sole & upper), sc evenly around the perimeter of the sole. Join yarn with a sl st to the 1st st. Stitch count is not crucial. Work as many sc around as needed to join the sole & upper.

Weave in ends. Continue on to the Ankle.

Ankle Size 11/12

Rnd 1: With MC yarn & a 5.50mm crochet hook, join yarn with a standing sc in the st nearest the center back of the heel, sc in each st and side of each row around. Join with a sl st to the 1st st. (35 sts)

Rnds 2 – 12: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (35 sts)

Fasten Off. Weave in ends. Continue on to the Slipper Cuff below.

Slipper Cuff – All Sizes

You’ll begin the slipper cuff by first crocheting the stretchy ribbed band. Then, you’ll crochet the textured portion around the long edge of the band.

Stretchy Ribbed Band

Gauge: In CC1 yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, in BLO sl st: 4 sts = 1″ W; 13 rows = 2″

Row 1 (RS): With CC1 yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, ch 5, working in the back humps of the chain, sl st into the 2nd ch from your hook and into each ch across. Turn. (4 sts) Place a SM in the bottom of the last st of the first row.

Rows 2 – 69: Ch 1, BLO sl st in each st across. Turn. (4 sts)

Do not fasten off. Stretchy Ribbed Band, unstretched, should measure approximately 1″ W x 10-1/2″ L. Continue on to Prepare Edge for Textured Cuff.

Prepare Edge for Textured Cuff

Rnd 1 (RS): Bring the last row around to meet the first row and join with a sc in the stitch you marked with a SM to form a circle, sc in the same st, then, working around the edge of the stretchy cuff, (sc in the next st, skip the next st) rep from ( to ) 30 times, sc in each of the last 8 sts. Join with a sl st to the 1st st. (40 sts) Place a SM in st #19.

Fasten off. Weave in ends. Continue on to Textured Cuff.

Textured Cuff

Gauge: In CC2 yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, in Rows 2 – 8 stitch pattern below: 9 sts = 3″ W; 7.5 rows = 2″

Rnd 1 (RS): With CC2 yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, join yarn with a sl st in the st marked with a SM, ch 1, MBS in the first st, ch 1, skip the next st, (MBS in the next st, ch 1, skip the next st) rep from ( to ) 19 times. Join. Turn. (40 sts)

Rnds 2 – 8: Ch 1, MBS in the first ch-1 sp, ch 1, skip the next st, (MBS in the next ch-1 sp , ch 1, skip the next st) rep from ( to ) 19 times. Join. Turn. (40 sts) Fasten off CC2 yarn.

Rnd 9 (RS): With CC1, ch 1, (sc in the next ch-1, spike sc in the next MBS from the previous round) rep from ( to ) around. Join. (40 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a tail of yarn 3 – 4 times the circumference of the cuff. When laid flat, the Textured Cuff measures approximately 5-1/2″ W x 3-1/2″ H, including the stretchy ribbed band. Continue on to the Faux Buttonhole Strap.

Faux Buttonhole Strap

Row 1 (RS): With CC1 yarn & a 5.00mm crochet hook, ch 11, working into the 2nd humps of the ch, work 3 sc in the 2nd ch from your hook, sc in each of the next 8 chs, 3 sc in the last ch, rotate to work in the bottom of the foundation ch, sc in each of the next 8 chs. Join. (22 sts)

Fasten off, leaving a tail of yarn approximately 3 times the perimeter of the strap. Faux Buttonhole Strap is approximately 1/2″ W x 3″L. Continue on to Attaching the Cuff to the Ankle.

Attaching the Cuff to the Ankle of the Slipper Boot

Step 1: Slip the finished cuff over the ankle of the slipper boot. Position it so that the slit in the ribbed band is on the side of the slipper boot. You’ll have 1 slipper with the slit on the left and one slipper with the slit on the right. Step 2: With tail of yarn and a yarn needle, whipstitch the top edge of the cuff to the top edge of the ankle. Stitch counts vary between the two openings, just position the stitches evenly around. The cuff has more stitches than the ankle so you will work twice into a few stitches of the cuff to make up for this.

Step 3: Position the Faux Buttonhole Strap on the side of the cuff, just above the slit in the ribbed band. With tail of yarn and yarn needle, attach the faux buttonhole strap to the cuff. Weave in ends.

Step 4: Position a button on the faux buttonhole strap, as shown below. Use yarn and yarn needle to attach the button to the faux buttonhole strap. Weave in ends.

One slipper boot is complete. Repeat all steps to complete the second slipper boot.
