I am BLOWN AWAY by the response to my NEW Sunday Ballet Slippers pattern. Before I even had that free slipper pattern published, I was asked for a child size – and then a chunky yarn size. So, I decided to combine the two into ONE pattern! Enter the Chunky Ballet Slippers Crochet Pattern that doubles as a kids pattern!

Chunky Ballet Slippers Crochet Pattern

The yarn size used in this pattern determines the size of the finished slipper. I followed this pattern exactly using a size 6 Super Bulky yarn and they came out as adult size chunky slippers. My tester Nikki has tiny feet and she used worsted and they fit her great as well! So, if you are making for a child or small adult, use a worsted weight yarn, if you are making for adult women’s sizes 7 – 10, you’ll use the chunky yarn. Isn’t that fun? The possibilities are endless!

Materials:

For child size/small adult:
Worsted weight/size 4/Aran yarn
-approx. 75 – 100 yards
Crochet hook in size D/3.25mm

For chunky adult slippers:
Super Bulky/size 6 yarn
-approx. 80 yards (I wear a size 9, but size is customizable)
Crochet hook in size J/6mm

For non-slip you could use this 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.

Pattern:

Round 1: Magic circle, ch-2, 10dc in circle. Join. (10)

Round 2: Ch-2, 2dc in each st around. Join. (20)

Rounds 3 – 5: Ch-2, dc in each st around. Join. (20)

Finished!

I just love how QUICKLY these chunky ballet slippers work up. If you like, you could add some soles to the bottom, or, even easier, throw in some cheap insoles cut to size! You might glue them to make them stick, or not – up to you!

    I would like to start this project for a friend. The yarn I have is size 5 bulky. How should I adjust the hook size to accomodate the thinner yarn? (she is a size 8)

    Hi Ashlea, I’ve made several pairs of slippers for my mom. My dad liked them so much he kept a pair for himself. Do you have a pattern for men?

    Hi Ashley. I am a novice at crocheting. I am 77 & just taught myself to crochet a baby blanket using double crochet for my great grandson to be born in April. Since the edges are not even, I don't know how to edge it. Could you give me a suggestion as how to finish it. Thank you.

    I’m curious, you said your tester had tiny feet. Do you know what size she actually is? I want to make a pair for my sister, and she has tiny feet. (Im a 9 1/2) I think she’s maybe a size 7. And I’m trying to decide which pattern I should use for her.
