Crochet Animal Slippers Patterns

Crochet Animal Slippers is a wonderfully prepared book, complete with clearly written instructions, bright and colorful images and stitch diagrams for all the bits and pieces you need to crochet.

One of my favorite things about this book is the front flap. Strange part to be excited about right? Not this time!

The front flap (when opened) includes a life-sized foot Size Guide for Children and Adults. This is a fantastic resource. Simply stand with your heel in the ‘Place Heel Here’ spot and see where your toes end up. Bands of color have been included for each of the sizes in the book so you don’t even have to see what the actual foot measurement is, just look for the S, M or L.

When you visit this link, click the words Look inside above the cover image to see what I mean!

The patterns are available in Children’s sizes Small, Medium and Large and Adult’s sizes Small, Medium and Large.

When you turn to page 10, you will find the three bases you can choose from for the slipper patterns. The Shoes (slippers with covered heels), the Boots (slippers with ankle cuffs) and the Slides (backless slippers). Of the 3 styles, the Slides are the most difficult (Moderate Difficulty) to crochet.

Read page 11 to understand how to make the slippers and how to follow the patterns for the different size options. It also explains what size hook you will need to use for each part (gusset, soles, uppers of slippers) of the slipper type (shoes, boots or slides) you crochet. The information is listed in a handy little chart.

The slippers are crocheted with Medium Weight Yarn [4].

The written instructions and stitch diagrams for the Gussets for all 6 sizes are on page 12. The instructions and stitch diagrams for the Double Soles for all 6 sizes are on pages 13, 14 and 15. Page 16 explains how to join the soles and includes written instructions and photo support.

Page 17 includes the written instructions needed to work the Upper of the Shoes and Boots and how to Assemble the Gusset for the Shoes and Boots. The Edging and Ankle Cuff instructions are included on page 18.

The written instructions for the Upper of Slides is provided on page 19 and page 20 explains how to Assemble the Gusset for the Slides.

If you would like to add non-slip soles to your slippers, instructions are included on page 20. Page 21 includes the templates for the non-slip patches (actual size) so you can copy and cut your patches with ease.

After you have chosen what type of slipper you want to make (shoes, boots or slides) and the size you want to make, next is the fun part – choose your animal ♥
