How to prepare it
Launch the Foundation
Start with crocheting a rectangle. Make sure your stitches are neat and even, as this piece will be the base of the slipper. In general, it appears to be simple and practical and easy to adjust.
Main Section Working
Keep working the rectangle until it measures the desired length. Lay it on the foot or compare it with a nicely fitting slipper.
Resize
Check the size before joining anything. This is the perfect place to add a little length or width, if necessary. A rectangle style slipper is very forgiving so small adjustments can go a long way in comfort
Become or Make
Once you have the right size rectangle fold and seam to make the toe and heel shape. This is where the flat piece becomes a wearable slipper.
Finish the Edges
Neaten up the opening, weave in the ends, try on the slipper. Make the second one to match. Make sure they are the same length and shape.
Helpful Hints
- Fit prior to sewing.
- Use a marker to mark the fold or join points.
- Make sure that both rectangles are the same size so they fit.
- Weave in ends securely, particularly around the heel and toe.
- Light blocking can make the slippers look more uniform.
Things To Stay Away From
- Making the rectangle too small
- Forgetting to compare both slippers while you work.
- tightening the seams too much
- Super loose tension for a slipper that needs structure.
- Skip a fit check before you finish
Ideas for Customisation
You can change the color, add a simple edging or make them taller for a bootie style look. A little button, bow or contrast trim can also give them a more personal finish. Use a fluffier yarn for extra coziness.

How to Take Care Of
If your yarn permits, wash gently in cool water. Lay flat to dry. Reshape when wet. Use a low heat so that they do not lose their shape.
