Homemade shoes are of high quality. These slippers fit perfectly on the foot, as they are made for a specific size, taking into account all the features of the foot. To make knitted models last longer, a dense material is used for the sole. A large selection of yarn allows you to create crochet products for both cold winters and warm seasons. Any needlewoman who is familiar with this knitting technique can make shoes.
Necessary materials and tools
Slippers with felt soles are warmer and more comfortable to wear. You can use a ready-made insole or make one yourself by taking measurements from your foot. Before you start making a crocheted model, you need to decide what you will need for this. In order not to unravel the product later, it is important to take measurements correctly.
An important condition is the selection of yarn. It is recommended to take into account the selected pattern and the hook, the number of which should correspond to its thickness. It is necessary to approach the purchase of materials responsibly. Ideally, the yarn should be from the same batch so that the product does not turn out in different shades.
This model is much easier to make than a one-piece one, since a ready-made base is used. All you need is to decide on the style and decoration. Using ready-made felt insoles will significantly speed up the manufacturing process.
To make it yourself, place your foot on thick cardboard, trace the foot with a pencil and cut along the outline. Place the pattern blank on a piece of felt, pin it and cut around with a stationery knife.
In addition to the insole you will need:
- Yarn. It is recommended to choose one with a natural composition. A small content of acrylic is acceptable.
- Hook. The tool number is selected depending on the chosen pattern and the thickness of the thread.
- An awl or a thick needle.
- Scissors.
The thickness of the yarn is determined according to the footage. A thin thread will require more than indicated in the description, since you will have to knit in several folds.
Simple model
You can crochet slippers with soles yourself in one evening. Using yarn of different shades and experimenting with decoration, you can make a product for a man or a woman.
Materials required:
- wool or semi-wool yarn with the addition of acrylic of medium thickness - 200 g;
- felt insoles – 2 pcs.;
- hook No. 3-3.5;
- gypsy needle or awl.
Step by step production:
- Start the work by preparing the felt insoles. Step back 1 cm from the edge and make holes along the entire perimeter using an awl or needle. The distance between them should be at least 1.5 cm.
- In each hole, knit 4 single crochet stitches (sc) as follows: insert the hook into the hole, pick up the thread with it and pull it to the edge of the insole, pick up the thread again and knit a sc. Repeat the action 3 more times. From the next hole, knit the next batch of stitches. Finish the insole along the entire perimeter in this way. It is worth noting that you need to make 5 sc from the corner holes. This is necessary to form the correct rounding.
- When the sole binding is finished, knit a connecting column (ss) in 1 column of the previous row, dial 2 air loops for lifting (vpp) for the first row.
- Knit 2 rows in a circle with half-columns. Knit the next row with sc. In this case, start each row with knitting vpp, and finish with ss in the last lifting loop. As a result, a border of at least 2 cm in height should be formed.
- Knitting the upper part of the slipper begins with the toe. To do this, attach a thread to the corner of the side and knit 9 half-columns.
- Connect the row to the side part as follows: skip 1 loop, knit ss into the next one and knit another one along the row. Turn the product over and knit 1 row in the opposite direction with half-columns. At the beginning and end of each row, knit 1 additional half-column. This is necessary to form the widening and rise of the foot.
- When the upper part of the shoe is knitted to the desired length, start making the sides. Knit 4 rows, constantly changing direction.
- Before starting a new row, work 2 ss along the top edge, then turn the work and continue in the opposite direction.
- In the outer rows, make decreases by knitting 2 half-columns together. This will ensure a tight fit in the heel area.
- At the end, knit 2 rows of sc along the top edge of the shoe.
From squares
Knitted slippers with motifs on felt soles are stylish, original home shoes. The motifs can be in the form of a polygon or a square. It is recommended to give preference to the first option. Any patterns of motifs can be used.

- Knit VP. In the space between the dc, knit a lush column. Knit VP again. In total, you need to make 18 lush columns.
- Knit 3 dc with a common top from the ch of the previous row, 2 ch. Continue knitting.
- Between the two ch of the previous row, knit 3 dc twice, then knit 5 dc. Continue in this sequence until the end of the row.
- The motif is to tie with sc. From the middle column of each fan of 5 dc, knit 3 dc.

Step by step production:
- Join the yarn into 2 threads. Puncture the insoles along the perimeter, stepping back 1 cm from the edge. The interval between the holes should be at least 0.5 cm. Knit along the contour, knitting 2 sc in each puncture. Take measurements from the knitted sole to determine the length of the side of the motif.
- Knit 3 motifs for each slipper. Knit according to the description above, or any other pattern. Along the perimeter, the length of the sole should correspond to the side of the motif, multiplied by 8. If necessary, the pattern can be adjusted by removing or adding rows.
- Assemble the product. Start by joining 3 motifs, which are sewn together in the following way: stitch along one edge, to get the front seam, then along the 2nd side - the back seam. Subsequently, the motifs will be sewn to the sole with the 3rd side. 4 sides remain unsewn.
- Pin the insole to the pieces, slightly shifting the toe from the center on one to the right side, on the other to the left. Connect the sole to the slipper, tying it around the perimeter with half-columns.
