And let’s talk about comfort—there is nothing better than slipping your feet into a pair of handmade knit socks or crochet slippers. Store-bought ones? They don’t even come close. When you make them yourself, you get to pick the best yarn for socks and slippers, whether that’s soft wool blends for warmth, breathable cotton for everyday wear, or chunky yarn for extra cozy crochet slippers. Plus, you can make sure they fit just right—no more too-tight ankle bands or weirdly loose toes. And if you use high-quality sock yarn, they’ll keep your feet warm without making them sweaty.

This pattern is very beginner friendly as it utilizes basic stitches such as the garter stitch and purling method.

Without further ado, let's learn how to knit slippers with straight needles.
Knitting Needle Size 10 or 6 mm
Yarn Weight (4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)
Gauge 4 sts = 1 inch and 6 rows (3 garter stitch ridges) = 1 inch
Finished Size Instructions are given in small size (medium size and large size) are in parentheses.
Cast on 29 (35-41) sts using 2 strands of yarn.
Row 1: Knit across.
Row 2: K9 (11-13), *P1,K9(11-13), repeat from *once more.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until there are 15 (17-19) ridges on right side, ending with Row 2
Row 1: P1, *K1,P1, repeat from *across row
Row 2: K1 *P1,K1, repeat from *across row
Repeat these 2 rows until you have 12 rows (14-16) then work row 1 once more, cut off yarn leaving an 8” end.
Draw 8” end through remaining sts and pull up tightly, then sew with large plastic needle from beginning of ribbing to form toe. Fold cast on edge in half and sew inside seam for center back.
Make 2 pom-poms and tie to each front side tightly and knot to inside of slipper. You will notice that the pom-poms on the brown pair of slippers were not cut but just folded and tied in the center. The pom-poms on the pink pair were cut and laid down in a half circle and then the heart button was sewn on. Get creative with the buttons and pom-poms and make each more unique.
