Crochet Slippers and Slipper Socks

Slipper socks and slippers are popular projects for crocheters. They are relatively easy and cheap to make and you can make them in the fibre mix and colours that you prefer.

Choose yarns carefully. Cheap acrylic yarns are very uncomfortable, when worn on the feet. Choose a soft yarn, preferably one that contains some natural fibre. You may wish to crochet thin elastic into the top of slippers or slipper socks to prevent them slipping off the foot in wear.







Making Crochet Slippers And Slipper Socks Non-slip

You should cover the soles of slippers or slipper socks with a safety coating to prevent slipping accidents. Latex and silicone paint-on products are available to do this, usually the same ones that one paints onto the backs of floor mats or rugs to prevent slippage. Your local yarn or hobby shop should be able to advise you on this point. Other ideas and tutorials on how to make soles non-slip are available on the Internet.
