These darling crochet loafer slippers are fun to make and comfortable to wear! They feature a double sole for extra comfort and are made with simple construction. Make a pair for baby too! This post included affiliate links, which means I get small commission if you make a purchase at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support!
I finally finished a pattern that I have been working on! It felt like these women’s loafer slippers took way longer than they should have, but I am SO glad to be finished (and I might not be making slippers again in the near future, phew!). I really love how they turned out, and they are so comfortable! The double sole is so lovely. It’s pretty fun to mix and match colors for these crochet slippers.

*I have had a few people who have comments and concerns about the sole. If it appears to be too small for your foot, you are doing it right!! Don’t be tempted to go up a size, your finished slipper will be too big*
xoxo,
I would love to make these but lightly felt them for a little more stability because I will wear them out! Any suggestions on how much larger I should make them?
Hi Kelli,
You know, I have never felted a crochet project before, so I am completely unfamiliar with how much bigger you project would have to be. Maybe you could google a chart. You can pretty much find anything on the internet these days! You could maybe consider crocheting a bottom sole piece from thin hemp, to give it a sort of sole, instead of felting. Sorry I am not more help :(
Beth
I was thinking about adding a layer of craft foam in between the two layers of the sole for added stability. Not sure what it will do…
These are adorable! Thanks so much for the pattern. I downloaded it and plan to make a pair. Thank you!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for visiting!
I’ve downloaded and started on this pattern. I’m just a little confused on one of the steps. I have the two soles stitched together, but the starting with the 18th bit doesn’t make much sense to me, would love a little help!
Hold your sole, and point the toe downwards, and the heel upwards. Find the slip stitch that is in the very middle of the toe. That is stitch #1. Count 18 to the right, going around the toe and up the side, and start there.
So the more narrow side is the toe, and wider side is the heel? I’m so sorry , I am not used to following patterns. This is my first time making something like this.
No, the wider part is the toe, just like a pair of shoes. No worries! I want you do be able to make these, I will help any way that I can.
Oh! You must be talking about one of the stitches that stitched the soles together? One of those sl st?
Yes, the sl st all around are what you are working through, this makes the sides go up wards.
Drats! I’m having trouble downloading and putting this on my Word.
Please advise! I would like Sz 8 – but can I get that from here? LOL

.I m from Turkey. I add your link. Thanks for pattern. I made the 7 size but it was be for kids. What is the bonds number. :))
Hi! I hope you like this :) I am not sure what you mean by “bonds number?”
My name is Katarian, I live in the Bahamas, I total like this pattern, because I have an outfit that am trying to put together, and these loafers would work grate for my garments. In fact I’m looking for a pair in pink and yarn in that colour would work well, these shose are so simple I’m, going to chrochet two roses, and some rinestone to put on them. I would like for you to email my the pattern in a size 9 plaese to hotpinklady19@yahoo.com. The size 5 would work for my grandmother, her feet are tiny.
My name is Roni Link. aka link.roni@gmail.com. I just had a total knee replacement surgery and will have the other done in 6-8 weeks. The slippers look perfect for what I need. Please email me the pattern so I can get started and stop wearing out perfectly good white socks………..that BTW are a pain to put on as I have to bend my knee. OWIE.
Thanks
Roni

Followed you via email…thanks for the psttern :)
Thanks for following, I hope you enjoy this pattern!
Like everyone else, I love the loafers! I wear a size 8 shoe, may I have the pattern for a size 8? I clicked on the link to get the pattern, but it was all gibberish. The photos were clear, but no words, just little boxes everywhere. Weird~
Off to follow you on the net!
Thanks a million!
Love these! These is the first slipper pattern that I have ever looked at and said, I want to make those NOW, so cute! And they look so comfy. I wear a 7.5-8 in a shoe, but my feet are very narrow. What would you recommend? Making a 7 to stretch the length, an 8, r try to get a 7.5 by changing hook size or some other way? Thanks! Don’t know if I am a no reply blogger or not.
Thank you SO much. These are TOO cute. I’ve got them in the queue of stuff to make for myself! hahahaha!
Thanks so much! I had fun making them, I hope you do too!
