Stitching Instructions for Cozy Crochet Slipper Socks Pattern:
Toe/Foot
- Round 1: Begin by creating a magic ring. Work 10 dc into the ring. Pull the ring closed tightly.
Join with a slst to the top of the third ch from the beginning. This forms the base of the toe. (10 sts)
- Round 2: Ch 2 (does not count as a st here or in later rounds). Work 2 FPdc into each st from the previous round.
This increases the size of the toe. Join with a slst to the first FPdc of the round. (20 sts)
- Rounds 3–14: Ch 2. Work 1 FPdc into each st around, keeping the fabric smooth and stretchy for a snug fit. Join with a slst to the first FPdc of the round. Maintain the same stitch count (20 sts) throughout these rounds.
- Custom Fit Note: To adjust the length of the slipper sock for your foot, add more rounds for a longer sock or work fewer rounds for a shorter sock.
Heel Shaping
- Round 15: Ch 2. Work 2 FPdc into each of the first 5 sts to create a gradual curve for the heel.
Work 1 FPdc into each of the next 10 sts, then work 2 FPdc into each of the last 5 sts. Join with a slst to the first FPdc. (30 sts)
- Rounds 16–18: Ch 2. Work 1 FPdc into each st around, maintaining the heel shape and stitch count. Join with a slst to the first FPdc at the end of each round. (30 sts)
- Round 19: Ch 2. Begin shaping the heel back down to match the foot width. Work FPdc2tog (decrease) over the first 10 sts (resulting in 5 sts), work 1 FPdc into the next 10 sts, and then work FPdc2tog over the final 10 sts (resulting in 5 sts). Join with a slst to the first FPdc. (20 sts)
Ankle Shaping & Leg
- Round 20: Ch 2. Work 2 FPdc into the first 2 sts, work 1 FPdc into the next 5 sts, work 2 FPdc into each of the next 6 sts, work 1 FPdc into the next 5 sts, and work 2 FPdc into the last 2 sts.
This adds width to the ankle area for a comfortable fit. Join with a slst to the first FPdc. (30 sts)
- Round 21 (Start of Shell Stitch): Ch 3 (counts as the middle dc of the first shell). Work 2 dc into the same st as the ch to complete the first partial shell.
Sk 2 sts, sc into the next st, sk 2 sts, work 5 dc into the next st (this is a full shell stitch). Repeat from around.
At the end of the round, work 2 dc into the same st as the first partial shell. Join with a slst to the third ch of the beginning chain.
- Round 22: Ch 1 (counts as an sc). Sk 2 sts, work 5 dc into the next st, sk 2 sts, sc into the next st. Repeat from to the end of the round. Join with a slst to the first ch.
- Repeat Rounds 21 and 22 six more times for a total of 7 rounds of shell stitch, creating a beautiful textured cuff.
Finishing
After completing the final shell round, fasten off the yarn, leaving a short tail. Use the yarn needle to weave in all ends securely, ensuring no loose ends remain.
Repeat the entire pattern to create the second slipper sock.
Enjoy your warm and stylish crochet slipper socks, perfect for cozy nights at home!
