Well haven’t we just been on a slipper kick lately?! We can’t leave the menfolk out of the equation, so I’ve whipped up this free Men’s Slippers Crochet Pattern so we can ALL have toasty tootsies! Slippers for dayyys…

Fast and Free Men’s Slippers Crochet Pattern

In case you missed it,we have a gorgeous NEW pattern for Ballet Slippers for women, and a chunky version for women – that also doubles as a kid’s size! This NEW slipper pattern is geared for men (or women) who have a longer foot and want a little more coverage. Bonus that the pair takes less than ONE skein of Wool Ease Thick & Quick for men’s size 10.5!

For non-slip you could use this Sock Stop, and throw in some cheap insoles cut to size for added comfort!

Aren’t those just the easiest men’s slippers you ever did see?! I think these would be great for women too, and they offer a bit more coverage. I’m going to try this men’s slippers pattern with worsted weight yarn and see if those are a good fit for my boys! I will keep you posted! Paul and I had fun in this photo shoot. Here are my favorites!

    Thank you so much for this quick pattern! I’ve been crocheting for many years and all the other patterns are so complicated. I love this. You’re a great teacher. The step by step pictures are so helpful.

    These are great! I made one change. Instead of the row of SCs at the end, I did 2DCs in every slot, making a slightly higher slipper.

      Google a chart for men and women’s shoe sizes you will have a guide for how many inches to crochet. Width may require a little trial and error.

    Omg thank you for the free pattern! I made all the women in my life slippers for Christmas but needed some for my husband, dad, and brother and these are perfect! I love them! I used Bernat Blanket and a K hook - they are so nice; I need to make some for myself. Work up so quick - love it. Thanks again!

    Thank you so much for this pattern! I had to make my dad some last minute Christmas gifts. When I saw this pattern I started making him some slippers right away! I used Bernat blanket yarn in brown for the slippers, then lined the inside of the foot and the cuff of the slipper with Bernat baby in white. SUPER soft! Thanks for the pattern :)

    I purchased one skein Bernat Softee Chunky (108 yards) to make this men’s slipper pattern. Pattern was simple to make. Finished first sock, no problem. Only got to row 11 of second sock and ran out of yarn! My tension and gauge is accurate. Very frustrating as I only had the one skein of yarn and it’s a discontinued color so I can’t order more.

      Oh my gosh that is frustrating but... here’s an idea... if you have a teen or tween to donate your slippers... it’s “in” right now to wear different color socks n slippers & even shoes! So much so that they even sell them at the stores like that! One of my boys even got his soccer cleats in mismatched colors! (Or a Christmas stocking!) I’ve been trying, for 3 days, to make a slipper & just can’t quite get it!!! I’ve tried about 20 times, no joke, and start over each time & I was following tutorials on YouTube! Talk about frustrating! I’ll try again today. I bought same yarn as you but got quite a few balls to make chunky hats! You get 2 adult +baby hats with 1 ball & they turn out absolutely gorgeous! Can you guess what everyone on my X-Mas list is getting??? Lol!!! Have an awesome day!

    I love this pattern and the ballet pattern. I want to do little boy slippers using the man pattern. You mentioned that you were going to try for your boys. Did I miss your comment on the result.? I would be very interested in the outcome. Thank you for all that you do.

    Hello! I'm very new to crocheting. After years of wanting to learn, I finally just jumped and tried for the millionth time to figure everything out. I love your design. It seems very quick and simple enough for a newbie like me. My question is: how do you adjust your design for different shoe sizes? My hubby has huge feet; size 13. Basically, everyone in our family has big feet. Could you please explain how to adjust your design? Thank you in advance.

      Hi Melissa! You would just need to add rows in the Rounds 11-13 (or til length needed) section...stopping when slipper length is about 1 inch shorter of foot length. So, if you are making for a size 13 foot (which is just a tad over 11.5") you would crochet until your slipper is about 10.5"...then continue on to the round 14 directions. Hope this helps!

    Hi there, I'm really puzzled about how to even start these things...and I've crocheted all my life. Okay, so I make the magic circle, then why chain 2 if it's not a stitch? When I go to make my double crochets, I can't yarn over because there are 2 "stitches" on the needle, if you get what I mean. So to add to my question, when "counting" my double crochets, is it 12 plus the initial two chained stitches?

      Hi Maureen! From row 10 on, we are no longer working in the round, but in rows...so you will work your 18 DC's (disregard the hdc's and sc's from previous round) and just ch 2 and turn...then you will work your next rows of 18 DC's...you will continue working those rows until desired foot length is reached. Hope this makes sense and helps!

    I made these in about size 9 by reducing the starting # of dc’s to 20. Worked great! Thank you! This and the ballet slippers are so quick and easy and look great! I’ll make the chunky ballet next as for winter I’ll want a thicker slipper.

    Just a quick question...I. love your slipper patterns do you make them for the exact foot size or half size or more less....will they stretch? So if I wear a size 9 do I make them a size 8.5?

    Hi My name is Marie and I just love your patterns, I am looking for a slipper pattern for my grandson he is 7, made his mother a pair and now he wants as well. Do you by any chance have a pattern I could use for him

      Hi Marie! My Chunky Slipper pattern doubles as a kids size! You will just use worsted yarn instead of bulky. The pattern can be found here: http://hearthookhome.com/chunky-ballet-slippers-and-kids-slippers-crochet-pattern/
