Christmas in July Make Along
This pattern was designed for the 2019 Christmas in July Make Along. Underground Crafter is kicking off the holiday season with 31 days of handmade designs, and a giveaway too! Get all the details here.
The Christmas in July event is divided into 5 weekly themes. This week’s theme is gifts for men, so of course I tried to think of something to make for my husband. He already has a shelf full of handmade scarves and hats, so this year I decided on slippers. I went with a simple, no-fuss design, made in a thick, warm yarn.
Lion Brand Color Made Easy yarn
Lion Brand originally sent me this Color Made Easy yarn for free for my Cobblestone Lane knit scarf pattern. I’m madly in love with how squishy and soft it is, and had just enough left over for these cozy, easy, crochet slippers. My favorite colors in this line are the neutrals, but for those of you who like brighter and bolder shades, they have those too!

Join with sl st to first st of last row. Fasten off, leaving a 12 inch tail for seaming.

Weave in all ends.
I hope you enjoy making this easy crochet slippers pattern. A downloadable pdf of this pattern is also available on Ravelry, for a small fee. The fee for the pdf format is to offset the advertising revenue lost when you print or download the pattern rather than viewing it online.

Thanks for creating this blog. It was of great help to me due to what I was searching for online. I had to read your articles over and over.

I don’t have any bulky yarn and want to use what I have. Will 2 strands of worsted weight yarn work for this pattern?
Pia Thadani
It might – do a gauge swatch and see if it matches, otherwise you might need 3 strands 🙂
