Crocheted slippers with felt soles for beginners. Diagram with description

No store-bought house shoes can compare with models made with your own hands. Knitted slippers are comfortable because they are made to fit the specific size and characteristics of the foot. Depending on the yarn used, the shoes can be made warm for winter, or a lightweight summer version made from cotton.

To extend the service life of such models, the soles are sealed. A large selection of yarn and decorative options makes it possible to create truly unique products. Making home slippers will become even easier through the use of felt insoles. Even a needlewoman who has just mastered crocheting can make shoes.

Required materials and tools

The felt sole will make your crocheted slippers even more comfortable and warmer. You can use a ready-made insole, or take measurements and make it from an old rug or felt boot. Before you start, you need to decide what you will need to create them. In order not to redo the product several times later, it is important to take accurate measurements.

In addition, it is necessary to choose the right yarn, taking into account the chosen pattern, and the hook number corresponding to its thickness. You need to be especially careful when purchasing materials. It is ideal if the yarn is from the same batch so that different shades are not visible in the product.

Crocheted slippers with felt soles are easy to make. The base is already ready, so all that remains is to choose a model and think through options for how to decorate the product. It is better to use ready-made felt insoles, this will significantly speed up the manufacturing process. If you have enough time, you can make the sole yourself.

To do this, place the leg on thick cardboard, trace it with a pencil and cut out along the contour. Place the pattern blank on a piece of felt, pin it with pins and cut around it with a stationery knife.

Felt insoles should be punctured

In addition to the insole, to make slippers you will need:

Yarn. It is advisable to use natural fibers. A small percentage of acrylic is allowed.
Hook. The tool number is chosen taking into account the thickness of the thread and the pattern.
Scissors.
Thick needle or awl.

When buying yarn, it is recommended to consider its thickness. This can be easily determined by the footage. If the thread is thin, you will need a larger amount than indicated in the description of the product, since it will have to be used in 2-3 folds.

Knitting needles

When choosing knitting needles, you should pay attention to:

Circular, connected by fishing line. The length of the fishing line should be sufficient so that the entire model can be placed along it.
You can also stock up on regular metal knitting needles that are not connected with fishing line. They are taken, depending on the model, 2, 4 or 6 pieces. The principle of knitting on circular or regular knitting needles is identical.
Hook – There are no specific recommendations here. It can be plastic or metal.

For any knitting tool, you need to choose the correct size, which depends on the thickness of the thread. The number of knitting needles and hook required for knitting is indicated on the skein of yarn.

But, you should take into account a subtle point - if you want to get a dense fabric from which you will get a model that holds its shape well, you should take a hook or knitting needles one size smaller than indicated on the skein of yarn.

Closed slippers

Closed slippers are a universal product that can be easily knitted yourself in a few evenings. Using yarn of different shades and experimenting with decor, you can make a model for men and women.

Necessary materials:

200 g of wool blend or wool yarn of medium thickness with the addition of acrylic;
hook No. 3-3.5;
two felt insoles;
awl or gypsy needle.

Crocheted slippers with a closed felt sole: sock knitting pattern
Manufacturing steps:

Start making shoes by preparing a felt insole. Using a sharp tool, make holes along the entire edge, spacing 1 cm. The interval between them should be at least 1.5 cm.
Knit 4 single crochets from each puncture. Do this as follows: insert a hook into the hole, pick up the thread with it and stretch the loop to the edge of the sole, pick up the thread again and knit a column. Repeat the action three more times.

Knit the next group of columns from the adjacent puncture. Finish the sole like this around the entire perimeter. To form curves, make 5 single crochets from the holes located in the corners.

Having finished processing the insole, perform a connecting column in the first column of the previous row and cast on 2 lifting chain stitches to begin knitting the first row.

Make two rows of half-columns in a circle. Then knit a row in single crochets. In this case, start each row by knitting air lifting loops, and end with a connecting column in the outermost lifting loop. The edge should be no lower than 2 cm.
Start knitting the top of the slipper from the toe. Attach a thread to the corner of the side and form 9 half-columns.

Connect the resulting row to the sidewall as follows: skip one loop, form a connecting column in the next one and knit another one along the row. Turn the work over and do one row of half-columns in the opposite direction. To expand and lift the foot, starting and ending each row, add one half-column.

Having knitted the top of the slipper to the required length, proceed to making the side borders. Knit 4 rows in half-columns, alternating directions in different directions. Before starting a new row, knit 2 connecting stitches along the upper edge, then turn the product and knit in the opposite direction.
To ensure a snug fit on the heel, decrease in the last rows by knitting 2 half stitches together. Finally, make 2 rows along the upper border of the slipper in single crochet columns.

Women's footprints

To tie women's tracks, you need:

First knit the sole in accordance with the diagram.
Knit the heel, casting on the required number of stitches and distributing them on 2 knitting needles.
When the desired length is reached, the loops are closed and joined to form the heel piece.
The upper part is knitted before the rise - the closed loops of the side part are connected to the sole part.

Men's slippers

Crocheted slippers with felt soles can be a wonderful gift for your significant other. If you follow the instructions, you can knit comfortable and stylish shoes for the house in two or three evenings. It is better to knit a male model from plain yarn in light or dark tones.

Necessary materials:

half-wool or tweed yarn;
thick needle or awl;
hook No. 4;
two felt insoles;
scissors.

Manufacturing stages:

Tie the sole with half-columns along the entire contour, first piercing holes with a needle or awl. The interval between them should be at least 5 mm. Start knitting the sides.
1 rub. Knit the sidewall in a circle in rows, start from the heel side, bringing the thread into the 7th loop, 1 ch and a single crochet (SC), for the heel 6 single crochets, evenly distribute 40 SC along the sidewall, 12 SC along the toe, along the second distribute the sidewalls 40 single crochets, 1 joint loop at the beginning of the row (106 stitches in total).

From 2 to 9 p.m. Mark the beginning of the row with a thread of a different color. Knit 1 ch, then knit behind the back wall in single crochet columns. Knit in the round. At the end of the 9th row, fasten the thread. Move marker to stitch 25. Start knitting a sock.
1 rub. (face). Knit in rows. Cast on 24 loops. Knit 22 single crochets, starting with the second loop from the hook, mark a loop with a thread of a different color, 4 single crochets in the next loops, mark a loop with a thread of a different color, knit loops on the other side of the chain - 22 sc, turn. There should be a total of 48 single crochets.
2 r. (wrong side). Knit over the front wall, ch 1, in each stitch up to the marker, single crochet, in the marked stitch 2 SC, in the remaining loops, single crochet, unfold. This results in 50 columns.
3 r. Knit behind the back wall, 1 ch, to the marked loop, single crochet, in the next stitch 2 sc, in each stitch to the sc marker, in one loop 2 single crochets, knit the remaining loops with sc. To turn. This makes 52 single crochets.

We start knitting from the sock. The pattern can be anything, the main thing is that it is convenient for adding. We knit with a double crochet pattern. We make additions up to the little finger, that is, 4-5 cm. At the instep level, we move to the sides and start knitting like this. This is how the fabric turns out. Looks like the letter P. The length is determined by applying it to the foot or insole

Sew the back seam. We do this without breaking the thread, from the bottom up, using single crochets.

We continue to knit in circles. The height of the sneaker depends on your desire. Place the top on the sole and secure it with pins to make sewing easier.

We sew the top to the sole using an “over the edge” seam. Better take a stronger thread

4 rub. Knit similarly to the second row - 54 single crochets.
5 rub. Knit the same as the third row - 56 single crochets.
6 rub. Repeat second row. Do not cut the thread at the end - 58 single crochets. Proceed with assembly.
7 rub. Place the top piece against the marker on the side. Knit the loops on it behind the back wall, on the side - just behind two walls. Connect the parts as follows - ch 1, single crochet in the next 58 loops, do not break the thread. Start finishing.
Row 1. From the edge of the sock, ch 1, then tie the sock, evenly distributing 11 single crochets, similarly knit the side and heel, return in a circle to the beginning of the row, finish with a connecting column.
Row 2. Knit similarly to the previous one, but with crossed single crochets. To do this correctly, you need to change the direction of knitting and move from left to right. Having reached the beginning of the row, make a connecting post, fasten and cut the thread.

Measurements

For such original models, several measurements will need to be examined. To do this, you will need to measure the length of your foot along the midline of the sole. Then measure the width of the foot at its largest part and the width at its narrowest part so that you can make smooth transitions.

Advice! It is advisable to outline the foot itself and cut out the footprint exactly according to its measurements, but this will apply to house slippers.

For the street model of moccasin slippers, a special sole is selected that will already correspond to the size of the foot. Next, another important measurement for this unusual couple is the height of the heel. Measured from the bottom of the heel to the desired size of the upper edge of the heel wall. For the toe, you will need to measure the circumference of the instep (this is a measurement in the middle of the length of the foot).

Flip-flop slippers

Crocheted slippers with felt soles can be made in the form of slippers. Such models are very popular. They are easy to put on and take off. Following the detailed instructions, any needlewoman can knit them.

Necessary materials:

semi-wool or wool threads of medium thickness;
two hooks: No. 2.5 and 4.5;
two felt insoles;
thick needle or awl;
any decor.

Manufacturing stages:

Start knitting house shoes by preparing the soles. Stepping back 1 cm from the edge, make punctures with a sharp instrument. The interval between them is at least 1.5 cm.
Insert hook No. 2.5 into the second hole and knit two single crochets, continue along the entire perimeter of the sole. Tie the base this way. Finally, knit the outermost column into the first puncture, thereby securing the thread. Knit another row around the entire perimeter of the felt sole.

The next stage is crocheting two traces, which will subsequently be attached to the felt base. For a size 38 foot, you need to cast on a chain of 27 chain stitches.

Knit the oval bases of the sole, as well as two rows of half-columns. In the third row, knit 6 double crochets and half double crochets, and another 16 single crochets. When knitting 4 rows, form the shape of a foot, 5 knit the 5th row with half-stitches. In this way, make two feet.

Now connect the knitted parts to the felt base. Place them next to each other and tie them in a circle with single crochets.
Start making the top piece. To create a crossbar, fasten the thread, step back a little to the side, and knit a chain of 8 chain loops. Connect it on the reverse side with a single crochet. Attach the connection loops to the columns in the outer row. At the end of each strip, knit two single crochets.

Knit the previous element over the entire top of the slipper. Perform increases by passing the first column into the second loop. At the end of the row, be sure to perform two single crochets, turn over and knit the next strip. Repeat until the desired length of the top strip. As a rule, 15 rows are enough. Then knit the first column into the third loop.
Having tied the top, start making the sides. Here the row is not knitted completely. Make 5 single crochets, turn the element over, skip the first loop. Next, knit 4 single crochets and 2 connecting loops.

Perform the same actions with the following stripes. Decrease a loop in each odd row until one column remains on the hook. Make two connection loops from it, cut the thread. Secure the second side in the same way.

On three spokes

To knit on three needles, you need to follow these key steps:

Take the required number of loops or divide them into 3 parts. The first is the loops of the sole. And the rest are divided equally.
The required number of rows is knitted.
Then the plantar part is left on the knitting needle - the heel area is knitted from it.
When the required length is reached, it is tied in a circle to the desired height.
Please note that the number of loops depends on the size and thickness of the threads.

Children's slippers

Japanese tracks

A quick way to knit slippers. Perform the following actions:

Cast on 5 stitches and knit 2 rows using stockinette stitch.
Increase 2 stitches in each next row until you have 28 stitches.
In the next rows, starting from the third loop, knit 2 knit stitches from 1 stitch. Leave 3 loops at the end, as at the beginning, unchanged.
Knit this way for 15 cm of total length.
Subsequently, decrease the loops by cutting them in half in each row.
There should be 5 loops left that will form a strap. From these 5 loops a long strip is tied. The loop is made by yarn over.
For two different sneakers, the strap will be located on different sides so that the fastener is symmetrical.

Beautiful slippers made of squares

Crocheted slippers with felt soles made from motifs are original, stylish house shoes that will appeal to all family members. You can use motifs in the form of a square or polygon. The last option is preferable. On the Internet you can find many patterns of motifs for every taste.

Necessary materials:

cotton yarn – 150 g;
thick needle or awl;
felt insoles – 2 pcs.;
hook number 3.

Sequence of steps for making motifs:

Form a chain of 5 chain loops (VP) and connect them into a circle.
Knit 18 columns with 2 yarn overs.
Knit VP. In the interval between double crochets, perform a fluffy column. Do VP again. In total, form 18 lush columns.
Knit 3 double crochets with a common top from the VP of the previous row. Two VP. Continue knitting.
Next, knit 3 double crochets between the two VPs of the previous row, then knit 5 double crochets. Continue in the same sequence until the end.
Tie the motif in single crochet columns. From the middle column of each 5-dc fan, work 3 double crochets.

Crocheted slippers with felt soles made from “granny squares”
Manufacturing steps:

Join the yarn into two strands. Tie the insoles, first piercing them around the perimeter with a sharp tool, departing 1 cm from the contour. The interval between the holes should be at least half a centimeter.
Knitting 2 single crochet columns in each puncture, tie along the contour. Measure the bound sole. This will allow you to subsequently determine the length of the side of the motif.
Make 6 motifs (3 for each slipper). Knit according to the above pattern or use any other in the shape of a hexagon. The length of the sole along the perimeter should be equal to the side of the motif multiplied by 8. If necessary, adjust the pattern by removing or adding rows.
Collect slippers. To start by connecting the three motifs, you need to sew as follows: sew along one side to create a front seam, stitch the second edge to create a back seam. In the future, third parties will be attached to the sole. Leave the fourth sides unsewn.
Pin together the parts with the insole, slightly moving the toe from the center on one to the right, and on the other to the left. Attach the slipper to the sole, tying it in a circle with half-columns.
