I’m one of those people who’s always cold, so I appreciate a good slipper. I wanted to design an easy crochet slipper that would be both super cozy, and also look modern and elegant.
These slippers are a perfect combination of boho and modern style. They’re worked up in single crochet so not only are they fast to crochet, but they’re also an easy one. They’re a great pattern for those that are learning how to crochet slippers.
I used Cascade 220 Superwash for these slippers and it’s the perfect yarn for this project. Cascade 220 is 100% wool, so you know you’re working with an all-natural, top quality yarn. Its wool fibers lend this yarn plenty of durability and warmth, which is perfect for these slippers. Plus, it’s super affordable and comes in a wide range of colors so you can make your slippers just as unique as you are.
I used navy to give my Tassel Slippers a little Colonial vibe, but you can use any color you’d like. This crochet slipper pattern will soon be your go-to project for crochet footwear.
