With autumn fast approaching, now is the perfect time to get started on cozy feet warmers! These slipper-socks are crocheted in the round and require the following crochet knowledge / skill-level:
- Chain stitch
- Double crochet stitch
- Slip stitch
- Color swapping (optional)
- Sewing in ends
The tools you will need for this project are as follows (in US terms):
- ~250-300 yds of Medium weight yarn (I used Red Heart Soft)
- 5.5 mm hook
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
The pattern will use the following abbreviations:
- Ch (Chain)
- DC (Double crochet)
- Sl (slip)
- St(s) (stitch/stitches)
Let’s get started!
* Images use orange yarn to make stitches and details more visible
Round 1: Ch 4, Sl into 4th ch from hook
Round 2: Ch 3 (counts as DC), DC 11 into centre for a total of 12, Sl closed into top of Ch3
Round 3: Ch 3 (counts as DC), DC 2 into each of the 12 sts for a total of 24, Sl closed into top of Ch3
Round 4: Ch3, DC into each st for a total of 24, Sl closed into top of Ch3
* You’ll notice your work will begin to curl in at this point, creating the tube sock shape you are looking for
* It may look too small but remember the final project will be really stretchy — if you need it to have a wider circumference, you can add another round of increases by DC 2 into each second stitch for a total of 36
Round 5 on: Repeat Round 4 until desired length (I completed 23 rounds)
* For Round 18, I swapped colours and completed 4 Rounds in alternate colour, before swapping back to original colour for 2 final Rounds
After final Round: Cut yarn and sew in any loose yarn ends
That’s all there is to it! Feel free to leave questions in the comments 🙂
