Mary Jane Slippers**I thought this was obvious, but apparently not: PLEASE OH PLEEASE do not use any of my photos without my permission! I’m a nice person, so if YOU ask nicely, I’d make a consideration. Also, don’t post this pattern anywhere else. A simple link to this page would be a great way to share it. You CAN sell slippers you make, of course, but for pete’s sake, take photos of what you made to show your customer/s! Keep those hooks going!**

I’ve received many messages via Ravelry about these slippers. It’s more of a tutorial than a pattern. It’s very easy to adjust to your size, but if you still have questions, please feel free to email me! lisa@goodknits.com. Crocheted Mary Jane Slippers Materials:
First, start with 8 DC into a circle. This is how I like to do that: see the little tail on bottom? you pull that and it cinches the circle closed, as such: [See THIS POST, if you need more information about the beginning round.] Round 2: 2 DC into each stitch, slst into top of the first DC, ch 2. (16DC) This is what my piece looked like after round 4: Work 2 rounds even (NO INCREASING). By this time, the little “cup” should fit over your toes, like so: This is my half-way mark:
On row 13, DC into first 10 stitches, then DC 3 tog: now, you should have a basic slipper. it will fit kind loose around the sides: the following instructions for finishing up the slipper are probably what most people get stuck on. I really hope the photos help. Here goes! join your yarn at the center back of the slipper, above the heel.
At the corner, sc3tog (half of the last side DC, and the first 2 DC on the top.
SC 24 times up the side toward the heel. you should have space for one last SC, so SC that space together with the first sc. (working on the second round of single-crochet): SC2tog
If you had any problems with the previous directions, just improvise. You’re basically just making the edge more snug. I liked to decrease at the heel and at the top two corners near the toe. Now, join your CC yarn at the center back. SC into same spot. sc as usual (just w/ a big loop!) then sc to the end. slst to first, and fasten-off. sew a button across from the loop and you’re done!
you could also re-inforce the loop by joining your yarn at the loop-sc and SC all the way around it.

I still suggest viewing the photos if you have any trouble with the steps, because things can get a little tricky and are hard to explain at some points. This pattern is available for free.

Thank you so much! I love this pattern, and it’s so simple! My feets where a little bit smaller, so I just left round 3 out of the pattern, and instead i just went round (sorry for my bad Englisch), so I got 24 instead of 32. Thank you for sharing this!

The first row you say to crochet 6. Then the next row you say to double crochet 2 in each, which would make 12, but at the end of row two you say it will be a total of 16 stitches. How does that work? Also, are you counting the chain 2′s as the first double crochet? When you slip stitch beginning and end of the rows together does the first stitch of the next row go in that stitch or the next one? Thanks!

The first round is 8 DC into a circle, so doubling that will leave you with 16. The ch 2 does NOT count as a stitch. The first DC of each round goes into the slip stitch and the first DC of each ROW goes into that first stitch.

Hi there!
I just learned to crochet at the beginning of the year, and I have loved working with this pattern! It is very easy to understand. I do have one question, however. After you have joined the heel, do you mean to finish and begin with new yarn at the top of the heel? That’s what I’m understanding you to mean, but I can’t tell for sure from the pictures.
Thank you!

Really easy pattern to follow for MJ slippers – thankyou! The picture at the end of brown slippers with orange trim – how do you do the button strap on that one?

For that one, I just attached my yarn where I wanted the button strap and chained a big loop. I slip-stitched back to the beginning and that was it.

Lisa, I think that in round 3 one should start like this: chain 2, DC in the same place, 1 DC in the next, 2 DC in the next and so on. Otherwise, one would obtain 26 DC at the end of the round.

Hello,
I’m a primary school teacher from the UK looking for a crochet slipper pattern for my students to use (we’re moving on from hats!).
I’m not able to show them your blog in school because of our web-filtering, so would you agree to me copying the photos into a Word document so I can show them what the slippers should look like along the way?
I think I will have to ‘translate’ the pattern for my students, as we use UK terms – so for us these slippers will be mostly trebles with some double crochet at the end.

Thank you for your “MaryJane slipper” pattern, it was very easy. Easy to follow your directions also. The only thing I did different was, I inserted a pair of foam intersoles cause the yarn hurt my foot when standing. Thank you again.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for to make for mother’s day. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

[...] At this point I was looking to make anything I could that would work up quickly and be fun and a little different to make. So I started to look for some crochet boots. Unfortunately for me these patterns were so difficult to read for a beginner. But I decided to try making a Mary Jane bootie instead just as a place to start. I love them! I will still try a full boot at some point but now that spring has sort of arrived here I will hold off. I love these little booties and will love them more when I finally get some buttons to put on. It was a super easy and fun pattern that I found at this link: http://goodknits.com/blog/mary-jane-slippers/ [...]
