This Cottage Slippers crochet pattern is sure to keep your feet cozy on cold floors and cooler evenings!
I love crochet slippers. I love that they are easy to make and that they are cozy to wear. The Fireside Slippers I published not too long ago are still worn around the house, both by myself and my children. These Cottage Slippers, share some of the same qualities as the Fireside Slippers, but they are designed as more of a boot style.
Foremost, these crochet slippers are worked in a super bulky weight yarn (Wool Ease Thick & Quick by Lion Brand) so they work up quite quickly, even with their double thick sole.
I love a thicker sole on a pair of slippers as it makes the slippers more comfortable to wear and it helps them to keep their shape. For this particular slipper design you will work two soles per slipper and then crochet the soles one on top of the other before working the sides. As always, as crochet slippers can be quite slippery, you may wish to add a product like Sock Stop or even beads of hot glue to the bottom of the soles to make them more non slip.
Finally, these crochet slippers are a boot style slipper meaning they come up a little higher in the ankle. I certainly can make them taller or shorter to suit your own personal style.

Pattern Notes:
- Pattern is written in American English terms.
- Pattern is worked in rounds.
- Turn your work as instructed
- Ch 1 at the beginning of the round does not count as a stitch.
- Weave in ends as needed.
- The sole of this slipper is double thick. You will work two soles for each slipper and crochet them together as per the instructions below.
- Yarn can be slippery on smooth flooring when used in footwear! I recommend using a product like sock stop or even hot glue (hot glue gun) on the bottom of the slipper to create a better grip and help prevent slipping.

Video Tutorial:
I love this pattern. I discovered that by going down to a size 6 hook, and following the small size, I was able to make a pair for my 3 year old granddaughter. The only change I made was to add two more rows to (Rows 2-15) of the slipper top. The pattern is easy and turns out so great! Thank you so much.
Happy to hear that!
