Crochet Men’s Extra Large Slipper Tutorial

Tip:
For added durability and comfort, choose a sturdy, machine-washable yarn and consider adding non-slip soles to the bottom of the slippers.
Materials:
- Bernat plush yarn
- Size N crochet hook
- Optional but helpful: Stitch marker, kitchen scale
Pattern:
Starting the Slipper:
Make a Magic Ring:
- Wrap yarn around two fingers to create an X, turn your hand over, secure the yarn with your ring finger, slide your crochet hook under the first loop, grab the second loop, pull it through, twist your hook, and pull through the working yarn to start your ring.
- Alternatively, you can start by chaining two and work your stitches into the first chain.
First Round:
- Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
- Pull the tail to cinch the ring tight.
Second Round:
- Work 2 sc in each stitch around (16 sc total).
Third Round:
- Increase Round: [2 sc in the next stitch, 1 sc in the next stitch] repeat around to end up with 24 sc.
Next 18 Rounds:
- Work 24 sc in each round, marking the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.
Forming the Toe Box:
- Simply continue working the rounds until you’ve reached the total of 18 rounds, noting the work’s natural curving which forms the toe box of the slipper.
Building the Heel:
Start the Heel:
- Chain 1 and turn.
- Work 18 sc across, chain 1 at the end of each row, and turn.
- Repeat for 8 rows.
Closing the Heel:
- After completing 8 rows, work sc in the first 9 stitches (halfway).
- Chain 1 and turn, joining the back part of the heel with slip stitches to avoid visible seams; this may require partially turning the slipper inside out.
Finishing Touches:
Edge Round:
- Work a round of sc all around the slipper to even out the edge.
Reverse Single Crochet:
- Work a reverse single crochet around to finish the edge. This involves crocheting in the opposite direction (to the right).
Finishing:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Use a darning needle to weave in the ends.
