Crochet yourself some simple and cozy slippers topped with a fun, furry pom pom. This free crochet slippers pattern makes it easy to keep your toes warm in style this winter.
Faux fur pom poms are showing up all over knit and crochet accessories this season, and I decided to jump on the trend with these cute fur pom pom crochet slippers. These simple slippers are worked with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together and a big hook so they work up quickly making them a great afternoon project or handmade gift idea.
Supplies needed to make your own crochet slippers:
- Worsted Weight Yarn – I used All About You Essential Acrylic in Burgundy
- Red Heart Boutique Fur Yarn
- Size L (8.00 mm) Crochet Hook
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle
Step One – Crochet Slippers.
This pattern is written using American crochet terms. This pattern is free for personal use only and may not be redistributed or sold.
Special Stitches:
Single Crochet Two Together (sc2tog) – Insert hook into stitch and draw up loop, insert hook into next stitch and draw up another loop (3 loops on hook), yarn over and draw loop through all three hooks. Sc2tog formed.
Double Crochet Two Together (dc2tog) – Yarn over, insert hook into stitch and draw up loop (3 loops on hook). Insert hook into next stitch and draw up another loop (4 loops on hook); yarn over and draw loop through first 3 loops leaving two loops on hook. Yarn over and and draw loop through remaining 2 loops. Dc2tog formed.
Double Crochet Three Together (dc3tog) – Yarn over, insert hook into stitch and draw up loop (3 loops on hook). Insert hook into next stitch and draw up another loop (4 loops on hook). Insert hook into next stitch and draw up another loop (5 loops on hook). Yarn over and draw loop through first 4 loops leaving two loops on hook. Yarn over and and draw loop through remaining 2 loops. Dc3tog formed.
This pattern includes instructions for two sizes – Small and Large. The small slippers are about 9 inches long and the large slippers are about 10 inches long. They do stretch quite a bit. Instructions for the large slippers will be indicated with bold parentheses. For example, ch 10 (12) means that for the small size you will ch 10 and for the large you will ch 12.
This pattern is crocheted holding two strands of worsted weight yarn together.

Step Two – Make and Attach Fur Pom Poms.
I made my fur pom poms using fur yarn, and I think they turned out pretty great. They are super fluffy and cute, but be aware that the process of making the pom poms is a bit messy.
- Wrap the fur yarn around your four fingers several times until it is about as full as you want your finished pom pom to be.
- Tie a length of the worsted weight yarn tightly around the middle of your fur yarn loops.
- Cut through the fur yarn loops on both sides to form the pom pom.
- Trim up the pom pom to create a nice round shape.
- Use a yarn needle to thread the worsted weight yarn used to tie the pom pom through the front of the slipper.
- Tie the pom pom in place with a double knot and use a yarn needle to weave the ends into the backside of the slipper.
And that’s it! Your cute, fuzzy toed slippers are all ready to wear!

I haven’t crocheted these yet, but after making many pairs of baby booties I think what the pattern is meant to read on round 1 is:
Chain 20(22), start in the 3rd chain from the hook… dc17(19)
Thank you! I thought I was crazy and didn’t know what I was doing. So glad to know it wasn’t just me.
These are super cute. I had the same issues with the pattern as previously mentioned, but have done enough crochet that I was able to figure it out. (Chain 22 for the size large and DC in the 3rd chain from the hook for round 1. Plus the stitch counts were off for round 5, so I just added enough sc to center the 6 dc2tog were centered on the toe.) I wear a size 9 shoe and the size large fit me perfectly. Next time I want to try chunky yarn as the worsted left the slippers airy.
Thank you so much for your detailed comments!
Thank you do much for this free crochet pattern! I love the com of colors!!
Yes Rnd 1.. chain 20 and chain 3..dont make sence at all!!! I have crochet for a couple of years now!
Well, so sad to say I felt relief reading your comments as I thought I was making everything wrong (for three times). I kind of knew something was wrong with the pattern, now I am sure. I will try to meake them with your adjustments and hope it will work. Otherwise I will have to change the pattern. 🙁
Hello is it possible to know the total of stiches you get at the end of round 1 and 2?
I have been crocheting for a long time but I cannot figure out round 1: ch 20, ch 3?
Also on round 2 to 8 does ch 1 at the beginning of the round count as a stich?
Tank you.
Congratulations is beautfull sleeper and the color u couldn’t choose better !!!
Will you make a tutorial video? I’m having a hard time understanding how to make these and I would like to make them as a gift.
hello, can someone re-write this pattern from beginning to end? I’d really love to make these, but I’m confused. Thanks very much.
I have made this tonight and struggled all the way thru it. I just can’t make it work out so have given up. I am going to try someone else’s pattern that is correct.
There did seem to be an issue when it asks to ch 3 after chaining 20. I saw they wanted to dc 17 and then 6dc in the last stitch so I just used the 20 and dc into the 18th stitch and worked down. If you do it that way then the counts all work out correctly. I just finished making 4 pairs and they’re so soft and cozy! They work up really quickly too.
I really would like to make a pair to fit women’s size 10. Would you know how to adjust the pattern for this? Thanks.
Same here, was about to give up till I read your comment, makes sense now, thank you
Please tell me if it is 4 ply wool or double knitting wool that is used?
After completing this pattern with waaay too much frustration, I might add…I have to say w/o reservation that this is thee most poorly written pattern that I have ever seen! I found that the stitch counts were off right from the first row! I kept adjusting and thinking that it would work out–but it does not! Some serious re-writing of these instructions is in order if the author ever hopes to have anybody successfully complete these slippers! I make no apologies for saying so, neither., I am annoyed that I wasted my time. I’m wondering if the pattern writer even tried to work this up using their own instructions…if not, I challenge them to do so…then we’ll talk! lol!
I agree, I’m having the same problem.
I’m just learning to crochet. Rnd.1 I figured everything out until when it says 6 DC in last ch, turn and DC (19) . Am I suppose to turn first then DC 6, then DC 19, or do I st. Enough to DC 6 then turn and DC (19)? I hope someone is still around to help
The whole pattern is worked going around, you will not be turning your work. The first row is worked as: after you double crochet 6 in last chain you work the 19 stitches in the backs of the chain. So you will be essentially lining up each dc with the first 19 that you did. I hope this helps. Honestly if you are a new crocheter you may not be able to figure this pattern out. I did find mistakes but was able to figure them out. I am also not 100% happy with the end result. The first pair I worked up were a bit small, I then worked up another slipper using a size N hook and it still was smaller than I wanted it to be! Good luck!
Hi!! I have a problem with Round 1… I can’t get it started without some clarifications!!! I only count 19 sts instead of 20 sts.. Please help!
Someone said that she added 2 sts
I had this same problem…I just started with chain 19 instead of chain 20 and it all worked out. I agree, there could be better clarification as well.
Ok, I will try with chain 19 then!!! Thanks!!!
I am having trouble with getting the heel part to tighten and raise up. i do the sc2tog when instructed but its not working right for some reason. Is there anything i can do to fix this? Im trying to make these for my mom for mothers day and i need to finish as soon as possible. Thank you
I cannot figure out this pattern. I am new to crocheting but usually do not have a problem reading a pattern that looks as simple as this one. could you maybe put a stitch count at the end of each row. I am coming up with extra stitches for some reason. Sorry to bother you.
use stitch marker it helped me
Thank you so much for sharing! I just made these and they are super cute! Had a
a bit of trouble with the chain, but figured it out, can’t wait to make more of these!
I am trying to make these but am not getting the first row. Do you chain 20 and then chain 3? Do you double crochet 3 in the same chain? Am I reading something wrong or is there something missing in the patter for the first row?
I have this same question… did you get it figured out?
I hope this isn’t too late to help you…I just made these. After frogging three times, I got these to work. You put the double crochet in the last chain of the 20, so the ch3 is like a double crochet. Hope that helps!
Hello ! I have just completed this pattern and love these slippers! Thank you for posting ! I am pretty new to crocheting so there is a big possibility I am just misunderstanding but in both slippers I needed to add two additional stitches to your small size pattern. Just looking at row 1, you have us chain 20 and then only give 19 stitches to fill in (if that makes sense, 1dc+17dc+1(6dc in last stitch) = 19). This lead me to have two additional stitches throughout the slipper. I just adjusted the pattern and they turned out fine I was just wondering what I was doing wrong !
Thank you for the pattern and the help !
You weren’t doing anything wrong, I have been crocheting for years and have the same issue.
Hi Deanna, I’m having the same problem too. Can you please elaborate how and what you made the additional 2 sts?
Thank you in advance!!!
I will definitely try these slippers. The Pom Pom I’m not so sure we will see after I’m done. You give real good directions. Thank you.
Hello. Thank you for sharing this guide 🙂 I will definitely try it out for myself.
