Easy slipper soles

World is flooded with the design inspirations for the slipper or shoes you could make and most of them are required to have a separate sole. This post is about one such easy slipper sole that can be done in crocheting. You can work any kind of slipper on these crochet soles and adjust stitches according to your yarn type and hook size.

If you are good at knitting, a simple garter stitch patch like this would also do.

Materials Required:

Crochet Hook( size 9 )
8 ply Nylon Yarn. (I'm using 2 strands of yarn to make sole thicker and stiffer.)

Level:

Beginner.

Steps:

Round 1: Chain 11, skip the first two stitches and begin from the 3rd one from the hook. start double crochet and you must have 9 stitches by the end of round 1.

Round 2: Chain 2, Make 9 double crochet stitches over the previous round of 9 stitches.

Round 3: Chain 2, make 4 double crochets and in 5th stitch increment one stitch. Continue in double crochet for the rest of the row. (total stitches =10)

Round 4: Chain 2, Double crochet in each stitch.

Round 5: Chain 2, Make one increment in the first stitch and the last stitch of the row. (total stitches= 12)

Round 6 - 10: Chain 2, double crochet in each stitch. (stitch count will remain 12)

Round 11: Chain 2, make 6 double crochets and in 7th stitch increment one stitch. Continue in double crochet for the rest of the row. (total stitches =13)

Round 12: Chain 2, Double crochet in each stitch.

Round 13: Chain 2, Make one increment in the first stitch and the last stitch of the row. (total stitches= 15)

Round 14 - 24: Chain 2, double crochet in each stitch. (stitch count will remain 15)

Round 25: Chain 2, Make one decrement in first and last stitch of the row. (total stitches=13)

Round 26: Chain 2, Make one decrement in first and last stitch of the row. (total stitches=11)

Round 27: Make a row of single crochet stitch all around the patch to smooth out the edges.

Fasten off and weave in the end.
