I’ve been wanting to make a pair of crocheted slippers for a while now, and I finally got the chance to sit down and design a pair. I hope you enjoy this free Ballet Slippers crochet pattern!

Gorgeous free slippers crochet pattern

For this pattern we use around 100 – 120 yards of worsted weight/size 4/Aran yarn and a D/3.25mm hook. These ballet slippers work up quickly so grab your hook and let’s get started!

Ballet Slippers Crochet Pattern

Materials:

Worsted weight/size 4/Aran yarn
-approx. 100 – 120 yards for women’s US size 7 – 10 (Big Twist “Dark Denim” pictured)
Crochet hook in size D/3.25mm

I have not added any non-slip to the bottom of my slippers yet, but Gemma left a comment in the Heart Hook Home Crochet Community recommending Sock Stop. Thanks, Gemma!

Pattern Notes:

Place first stitch of each row in the same stitch as your chain.
Ch-2 at beginning of round does NOT count as a stitch.
Pattern written in US terms.
Here’s a tutorial for the Magic circle. You could also Chain-4, join to first chain to form a circle.

    I absolutely love your ballet slipper pattern, and it's also my favorite slipper pattern. I appreciate how clear your instructions are and the pictures are also a great visual guide as my grandmother only taught me how to crochet a basic granny square and left me to learn the rest on my own. I do have a question on my last row I had to crochet 12 double crochets 3tog and 12 double and the pattern says 11 double 3tog 11 double is this a typo or did I make a mistake somewhere?

    Love these slippers. Made them as gifts last Christmas. My mom is wanting a pair, but, I need to make an adjustment somehow. She has had surgery on her heel where they removed part of it. How could I make some type of tie so they can be snugged up to the heel to keep it in place? I don’t want to compromise your beautiful pattern without checking fist. TIA

    I followed this to a T and the toe portion is not wide enough.... I don't want to redo it to make it larger for myself, guess I will be giving them as a gift to someone with tiny feet.

    • Hailey says

      Also, if you need it longer than to row 18, do you continue the pattern doing the increases or stick to the 25 stitches?
      Reply

    • Lynn says

      Measure around your foot, read the guage on the ball band to determine stitches per inch with the recommended hook size. If you need more stitches for the width of your foot, make an extra increase at each side of the toe/foot area on esch row until it fits your foot. Then working on those stitches, continue following the general flow of the pattern to the end. Enjoy your slippers, they are lovely !!

    I'm crocheting the ballet slippers for my sister. She's between shoe size of 5-6 but I'm trying to figure out how I can measure it. I found the foot size chart but I'm trying to figure where I should measure from on the slipper.

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Hi Yolanda! You will be measuring from the toe of the slipper to row 18 (or however long you need the slipper to be). Hope this helps!

    Puff paint works as a non slip if you add some dots to the bottom of the slipper. I was told to do that on infant socks when they start to walk. Just fyi

    I made a pair of these slippers recently and they are ADORABLE! The one issue I'm having is the back slipping down. So I either need to make them a row smaller or make the heel area higher. How would you suggest I go about increasing my stitches beyond 25? I hope this makes sense! Thanks!
    Reply

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Hi Raquel! You would just need to do another increase row...so on row 18, place 2 DC's in the 1st and last stitches of the row to give you a total of 27 stitches, then continue the pattern as written. Hope this helps!

    Hello I absolutely love this pattern! I am a little confused on the sizing. I am making them for a size 9 foot so I know I have to make it an inch smaller so 8 inches but my question is...at the end of round 18 I am already at 9 inches so am I supposed to be measuring the whole slipper to get 8 inches or am I supposed to be measuring just the rows where it starts at round 14 to the heel? I hope this makes sense. Thanks!
    Reply

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Hi Amber! Typically, a size 9 foot would be approximately 10"...so if at the the end of row 18 you're at 9", you should be fine. Hope that helps!

  38. Amanda says

    Hi there, I was just wondering seeing how I would adjust the sizing if I wanted to use a size 3 yarn? I've made them with the #4 and they turned out great. But for summer a nice thin pair would be amazing.

        Thanks, I was gonna ask the same question, I have BIG feet! The best part of this pattern is the lovely detail of the chain rows. For the wider size, would we do the first ten rows using the men's pattern, at row 10 switch over to the women's pattern for the chain rows, and then switch back to the men's pattern at row 14? Thanks again for a wonderfully written pattern!
        Reply

        • Heart Hook Home says

          Hi Annie! I would suggest doing a combination of the men's version and the women's chunky version. Start out in men's version for 1st 5 rounds, then continue on with the women's chunky version...you'll just want to be sure to add 4 to your DC count from Round 6 on. So, where it says 13 DC, you would do 17. The chunky version can be found here: http://hearthookhome.com/chunky-ballet-slippers-and-kids-slippers-crochet-pattern/ I hope that makes sense!

    Hi, I love this pattern. I have tried making it, but for some reason lose a stitch every row when I get to the chaining for design. It wanted me to make my 21st stitch in the area with the chain. Am I supposed to do that? I studied your pictures and video and don’t know what is going wrong. I feel that the beginning might be over too far, but I make sure to put the stitch in the first stitch and not the chain. (The Stitch is after the column that you create right?) thank you!
    Reply

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Hi Kayla! I'm sorry your having trouble! No, your 21st stitch should not go into the chain area...and your 1st stitch of the round should be placed in the same stitch as your join. Without seeing it, it is difficult to "diagnose" what is going wrong...if you're still having trouble, maybe you could send me a pic through the facebook page or email and we can try to get this figured out.

      Hi Anne! I'm so glad you love this pattern! You could try eliminating a couple of increases in Round 3...so instead of finishing the round with 30 stitches, you finish with 28. Or, you could eliminate the increase in Row 17...so you would complete the sole of your slipper with 23 stitches instead of 25. Hope this helps!

        Thank you so much for your reply Ashlea. I omitted rows 8 and 9 in the second slipper and it fits. I then changed the first slipper. I love these slippers and you make following the pattern so easy. Honestly I have tried slippers so many times and given up as way too big and slip off at the heel too. I will try another pair with your tip. Thanks again. Have a happy Easter.

    When you are adding extra rows to fit a larger foot, do you continue to increase the stitch count for every other row or do you stay with the 25 dc until you get to the length you need?
    Reply

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Hi Kailan! You should be fine to continue with the 25 stitches. However, you might want to slip it on once you finish the edging around top opening; and if it feels like it sits lower on the sides of your foot than is comfortable, then you can absolutely add in another increase row to 27 stitches. Hope this helps!

    I have a question about round 10 and 12 regarding the beginning of each round. At the begining of each round I chain 2 and on round 10 it says I should chain 4 then slip stitch to the top. Should I count the first two chains or increase the chains to match the end of the rounds? Example round 11 states start with 2 chains and end with 4 chains? Thank you and I love these slippers.

    • Heart Hook Home says

      Laurie, the chain 2 at the beginning of each round is just to bring your working yarn up to a height to work your 1st double crochet...the beginning chain 2 should not be counted in any rounds of this pattern. Hope this helps!

      If you keep repeating row 18 until you end about an inch from the back of your heal, you can increase the size on this pattern. once you get to an inch from your heal, you should be able to finish with the pattern for row 19

  80. Pamela says

    Just an idea, to make them non slip grip for kids or for the elderly , I heard of putting the paint that puffs up when painting on t-shirts. Or you can cut out the size of the slipper from the non slip grip mats that you can find at the hardwear store, Walmart or even the dollar store would carry such mats. Then when you have the right size you hand stitch it to the bottom of the slipper

    The link to this tutorial actually showed up on a crochet page on Facebook(Crochet Addict). This was my first attempt at crocheting slippers. I saw the picture and I thought they were so cute that I needed to try them. I completed 1 slipper in one sitting. I still can't believe how easy it was. Thanks so much for well written and easy to follow directions, embedded video for the magic circle and the pictures showing the steps. Not to start on the second one :)

    Hey Ashlea, I was also wondering about a 5-6 size? I have narrow feet but I can’t wait to make these! Are all the sizes in the ad free version? Thanks a bunch for the inspiration :)

      I would make the child size (the chunky version with worsted weight) and lengthen it as needed. I will get the pdf updated and on Ravelry.

        Hey Ashlea, I just made these yesterday and actually used a 3.5 since apparently both of my look sets dont include a 3.25. They turned out perfect. Apparently my feet arent that narrow haha I love these. I will be making so many pairs of these. Also will be trying out your newest pattern for slippers. Just wanted to let you know it all worked out.

    I’ve started the pattern with Aran yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook and the slipper is turning out tiny!? Wouldn’t even fit my 9 year old neice? Am I doing something wrong? The Aran yarn recommends using a 5mm crochet hook but your instructions say a 3.25? Help!

      Don't worry.... these STRETCH so if they're small on the first fitting, they'll be nice and snug in an hour

      Diana, you could also try using a 3.5. (I didnt have a 3.25) I needed the same size. They worked out great for me.

    Hi! I love them! Do you find they hurt the bottoms of your feet to walk on? The last pair of ballet slippers with a 4 weight really do.

      This is why Idon't make slippers. The knots hurt my feet. Wondering what changes could be made to use sock weight yarn.

        That's a good idea. Some have mentioned an insert too, although the pattern would have to adjusted to fit something else inside i'd imagine?

    I was patiently (not) waiting for this pattern to show up on your site after you gave us the teaser the other day on FB. Thank you again for all that you do for our community.
