To ensure a snug and comfortable fit, measure the baby’s feet accurately before starting the project.
Materials:
- Yarn: 240 meters – 100 grams of acrylic, 90% cotton and 10%
- Crochet needles: Size 3 mm
- 35 grams of stuffing
Abbreviations:
- Ch: Chain
- Sc: Single crochet
- Inc: Increase (make 2 single crochets in the same stitch)
- Dec: Decrease (crochet 2 single crochets together)
- Sl st: Slip stitch
- Hdc: Half double crochet
- Dc: Double crochet
Steps:
Row 1:
Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc around the edge of the sole evenly. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (You’d aim for a logical number of stitches that evenly encompasses the sole, such as 30-40 sc, depending on the exact sole size reached.)
Row 2-5:
- Ch 1, sc in each sc around. Join with a sl st to the first sc. (This creates the sides of the slippers.)
Shaping the Toe:
- To create the toe section, you may start to decrease.
Row 6:
Ch 1, sc in the first 5 sts, dec over the next 2 sts, sc in the next 10 sts, dec over the next 2 sts, sc in the last 5 sts. Join with a sl st.
Row 7:
- Ch 1, sc in each st around, executing a decrease at each end of the row as per the previous pattern or working evenly as needed for shaping.
Finishing:
Continue with a few more rows if needed, decreasing as necessary to shape the slipper to the desired closure. Fasten off and weave in ends. To add a flap or straps for securing the slipper, pick up stitches at the desired starting point and crochet to your preferred length; secure with buttons or ties as per your design choice.
