Women's Crochet Ballet Slippers: Free Pattern

Free pattern for women's crochet ballet slippers/shoes.

This is a very easy pattern and the shoes stitch up pretty quickly. I love making these in many different colors and I wear them all the time. These slippers make excellent gifts!
 

Women's Crochet Slippers in Pastel

Video Tutorial by Poochie Baby

Materials:
I Love This Yarn (from Hobby Lobby)
F Hook (I only use Clover Soft Touch hooks these days!)

Pattern:
* This pattern is written assuming that you are using the same color throughout. Feel free to switch colors at any point. It is just a matter of preference. Simply tie off the last color and join the new color where you wish. (My pictures show slippers made with more than one color.)

R1 - CH 2 and five SC in the first chain from the hook. Join with a SS.

R2 - CH 2 and 2 DC in each stitch around (10 stitches). Join with a SS.

R3 - CH 2 and 2 DC in each stitch around (20 stitches). Join with a SS.

R4 - CH 2 and 2 DC in the next stitch and DC in the next stitch. Continue with 2 DC in the next stitch and DC in the next until you reach the end (30 stitches). Join with a SS.

R5 thru R9 - CH 2 and DC in each stitch around. Join with a SS.

R10 - CH 2 and DC in the next 21 stitches (22 stitches, includes the first chain 2).

R11 - CH 2 and DC in each stitch across. CH 2 and turn.

R12 thru R18 - DC in each stitch across. CH 2 and turn.

* This pattern will fit a foot size of about 6 or 7. You can make the slippers larger by simply adding rows at this point. I believe each row will equal about a half size. So, for a size 8, add two rows.

R19 - DC in each stitch across. 

R20 - CH 1 and working along the top edge of the slipper, SC all the way around the top edge. This gives the slipper a finished look. Tie off leaving a very long end (it will be used for sewing the piece together).

Finishing:
Using a tapestry needle, sew the back heel of shoe together with the long end of yarn. Just weave the yarn through and tie off at the bottom of the heel. Weave in the extra yarn on the bottom of the shoe with the tapestry needle.
