I wanted to make a pair of crochet slippers – my first. I had some sock yarn from Lidl, which I used doubled, based loosely on this pattern. The patterns is by Drops Design and named ‘Jump for Joy’, which I was not doing when I unraveled for the third time.
The forth attempt was finally a good one, and the second slipper after that was done quickly. I made the heel part higher than in the pattern because I wanted the slippers to stay on properly.
And then I made a pair for the hubby, too. I left out the scalloped edge on these – I thought they’d look more masculine that way.
Happy crocheting!

They look comfy and remind me of the slippers my grandma crocheted for me years ago!
Do you add some fabric/ leather etc. as a sole? I would like to knit or crochet a pair, but I wonder if they wouldn’t be too slippery.

No, I didn’t add fabric or leather. I find them not too slippery as they are – well, not if you don’t run around like a headless chicken anyway. Have you heard of the stuff called Sock Stop? It’s liquid stuff in a bottle, available in many colours, and you apply it to socks or slippers. When it dries it’s almost like rubber and acts as anti-slip. I’ve used it on children’s slippers and it seems to work ok.

Never heard of it, thanks! Sounds perfect even to some store-bought slippers I have.

Indeed. It should be available in knitting and crafting stores.

My Grandma did too ! And they looked nearly identical to yours incl. the colour and the shell edging. When I saw them they made me smile with fond memories of those carefree childhood days with Grandma.

That’s so funny – everyone seems to have the same slippers made by grandma. Me too. When I was quite young, I got a pair of crochet mittens from grandma. I was mesmerised because I knew mittens were knitted and I’d never seen crochet mittens before. I thought they were so cool. I must have thought grandma was some kind of magician for being able to crochet mittens 🙂

Thanks very much. I’m not very experienced with crochet and I managed to make them, so yes, the pattern is quite simple.

These look great. I tried socks in single crochet but they were to unyielding, but clearly just perfect as slippers to give shape. Maybe one for the Christmas makes period.
