Crochet moccasin slippers for the whole family with this free pattern, which includes directions for sizes from extra small to extra large.
We also have a free Knitted Moccasin Slipper Pattern in a variety of sizes.
MATERIALS
Yarn: 4 ply worsted weight yarn. Made with double strands. You hold two strands of the yarn together while working the pattern. I bought large skeins, 170 g and had enough left over for a few more pairs. So I am not exactly sure about how much yarn is required.
Hook: 6.00 mm (J hook)
Abbreviations used:
ch - chain
ss - slip stitch (the standard abbreviation is sl st, but I like to use "ss" as it's faster to type.)
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
hdc - half double crochet
tog - together
SIZE: These will fit a foot of 9 and 1/2 inches.
GAUGE: 2 sts = approximately 3/4 inch
I have tips in blue throughout the pattern for making a smaller or larger pair. Please note that I have not tested the pattern using smaller or larger sizes. I am only going by my gauge.
The numbers for different sizes will be in blue and listed in this order (Extra Small, Small, Large, Extra Large) You can go even smaller by starting with 2 less chs than the extra small size. As well you can go even larger by starting with 2 chs more than the extra large size. But I have only included those sizes above. Once you see how the sizes go and figure out the desired foot size by the gauge, you should be able to do this on your own.
Working with 2 strands of yarn held together, Ch 20 (16, 18, 22, 24)
RND 1 - 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook. 1 sc in next 9 chs (7, 8, 10, 11), 1 hdc in next ch, 1 dc in next 6 chs (4, 5, 7, 8)2 dc in next ch, 5 dc in last ch. Working down the other side of the chain make 2dc in next ch, 1 dc in next 6 chs (4, 5, 7, 8), 1 hdc in next ch, 1 sc in next 10 chs (8, 9, 11, 12), ss to join to first sc. Do not turn.
RND 2 - Ch 1 and 1 sc in first st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 9 sts (7, 8, 10, 11), 1 hdc in next st, 1 dc in next 10 sts (8, 9, 11, 12), 2 dc in next st, 3 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st, 1 dc in next 10 sts(8, 9, 11, 12), 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc in next 9 sts (7, 8, 10, 11), ss to join to first sc. Do not turn.
RND 3 - Ch 1 and 1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 20 sts (18, 19, 21, 22), 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, 1 sc in next 20 sts (18, 19, 21, 22), 2 sc in last st, ss to join to first st. Do not turn.
RND 4 - This round makes a turning ridge for the sides. Working through the front loops only, ch 1, 1 ss in each st all around, pick up two strands of the color you are going to be using for the rest of the slipper, then ss to join, ch 2, TURN. (Tips: Do not make your slip stitches too tight.)
If you are changing colors, do it here. (You can do the whole slippers in one color or use whatever colors you want.) Pick up the new color and continue:
SIDES
(Tip: whenever you turn your work, begin in the first st, not the slip stitch where you joined on the previous round.)
RND 1 - Through back loops only for this RND, 1 dc only of the next 18 sts (16, 17, 19, 20), 1 hdc in the the next st, 1 sc in next 19 sts (17, 18, 20, 21), 1 hdc in next st, 1 dc in next 18 sts (16, 17, 19, 20), ss to join to first st, ch 2, turn.
RND 2 - Through both loops 1 dc in next 17 sts (15, 16, 18, 19), 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc in next 20 sts (18, 19, 21, 22), 1 hdc in next st, 1 dc in next 17 sts (15, 16, 18, 19), ss to join to first dc, ch 2, turn. (56 sts)(48, 52, 60, 64)
RND 3 - Through both loops, 1 dc in next 11 sts (9, 10, 12, 13), 1 hdc in next st, 1 sc in next 2 sts, 1 ss through back loops only in next 28 sts (don't make them too tight) (24, 26, 30, 32), through both loops again make 1 sc in next 2 sts, 1 hdc in next st, 1 dc in next 11 sts (9, 10, 12, 13), ss to join to first st, ch 1, turn.
RND 4 -Through both loops, 1 sc in next st, 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next 10 sts (6, 8, 12, 14), through back loops make 1 ss in next 30 sts (26, 28, 32, 34), through both loops again make 1 sc in next 10 sts (6, 8, 12, 14), 2 sc tog, 1 sc in next st, ss to join to first sc, fasten off.
TOP OF SLIPPER
I have a few photos for Rows 1 and 2 to help you get started. The rest of the rows will follow the same pattern so I didn't put up any more photos.
Note: For smaller slippers you may have to leave OFF a Row or two, but do follow Row 7 for crocheting all around the slipper and you will have less dc on the top because of leaving off a row or two. For larger slippers, you may have to do a Row or two extra before you do Row 7.
ROW 1 - With toe end facing you, find the 7 slip stitches at the center front of the top edge of the toe end. Beginning on right hand side, join yarn with a a slip stitch in back (inside) loop of the first of the 7 central slip stitches, as in Photo 1 at right.
Skip the next ss, 1 hdc in next ss, 1 dc in next ss, 1 hdc in next ss as in Photo 2 at far right. 
skip the next ss on the top edge, ss through the back (inside) loop of the next ss on the top edge, ss through the back (inside) loop of the next 2 ss as in Photo 3, turn.
ROW 2 - Through both loops make 1 dc in the next hdc, 1 dc in next dc, 1 dc in next hdc, 1 dc in the joining ss on top edge of the previous row, as in Photo 4.
Skip next ss on top edge, join with a ss to the inside loop of next ss on top edge, as in Photo 5.
ss through the inside loops of the next 2 ss of top edge as in Photo 6, turn. (4 dc)
ROW 3 - 1 dc in next 4 dc, 1 dc in the joining ss on top edge of the previous row. Skip next ss on inside top edge, ss through inside loops of next ss on top edge, ss in next two inside loops on top edge, turn. (5 dc)
ROW 4 - 1 dc in next 5 dc, 1 dc in the joining ss on top edge of the previous row. Skip next ss on top edge, 1 ss through inside loops of next ss on top edge, 1 ss through inside loop of next 2 sts on top edge, turn. (6 dc)
ROW 5 - 1 dc in next 6 dc, 1 dc in the joining ss on top edge of the previous row. Skip next ss on top edge, 1 ss through inside loops of next 2 sts on top edge, turn. (7 dc)
ROW 6 - 1 dc in next 7 dc, skip next st on top edge, 1 ss through inside loops of next 2 sts on top edge, turn.
ROW 7 - This will actually be a ROUND as you will be going across the top and around the whole slipper and then across the top again. 1 sc in each of the 7 dc, 1 ss through inside loop of next st on the top edge. (Now continue around the foot opening) 1 ss through BOTH loops in each sc all around. Join with a ss to the inside loop of the same st at the beginning of this Row. 1 ss through both loops of the 7 sc across the top, join with a ss through the inside loop of the the next st, fasten off.

Sue, in rnd 4 of the sides u have written 2 sc tog what does that mean....i may sound stupid but i want to do it and learn it right....i will be making a pair and if possible i will post a pic of the same( i am not too tech savy and 4 this i will have to take help)
I had a pattern for afghan stitch mittens in adult size that I lost in a house fire. Can anybody help me find one?
At the beginning of the project it says to work with 2 strands of yarn held together. What does this mean exactly? I'm sorry if I sound stupid, but I'm only a beginner and get confused easily :-D
If you're making blue slippers, take one end of the blue skein, and the other end of the blue skein and hold them together..as you're crocheting you will be working with two strands of yarn, the same as if you were only using one. Make sense? You could even use two different colors if you like.
Reading Joshes coment. The first time I tried to print out it did the same. Instead of printing from your tool bar go to the bottom of the patern and use the print friendly. It worked for me. Fantastic patern and will try.
I am also looking for the pattern from the greenway book of "Hedge Hogs" I am in Australia and the book is not available here. Please help I knit for charity. Many thanks Barb
I have tried to print your pattern CROCHET MOCCASIN slippers, but for some reason pages 3 and 4 are all jumbled up. It is overprinting on some other page related to your pattern. Please will you check this out then forward pages 3 and 4 of the above pattern.
Thank you,
Joan Losch
To quickly save a copy of the printer friendly page, hold down the control key and press "A" this will highlight the whole page.
While still holding down the control key, press "C" this will copy everything that is now highlighted to the clipboard function.
Open your word processing program, or your email program, set up a new page or email, place your cursor on the page and holding down the control key press "P" this will paste the whole page on the blank file. I find where pictures are involved it is better to use my email program, just be sure it is set to HTML.
With the word processing program, save the file. With the email program, just mail it to yourself. If you can send and receive pictures in your regular email this works great and you can save it in a folder to print later or share with another.
Thank you for all those lovely crafts. My problem is whenever I save the Printer Friendly Page the result is an empty page saved in the file. Hope you may fix it.
I'm sorry, but for technical reasons, the Printer Friendly page isn't designed to be saved to a computer, only for printing. You could bookmark this page though; it will be remaining here for a very long time. :)
If you want to save out a copy of the printer friendly page, while it's on screen hold down the left mouse key and drag to bottom of page. Once highlighted, click right mouse button and click "copy" or click "copy" under edit at top of page. Open Word or something similar and with either ther right mouse button or edit click paste. This works for me every time and then I copy the picture, like the finished moccasins, and paste it on the page. Save to your pattern folder and there you go!
