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 Ravelery about this pattern. I’m not much of a pattern writer, so this is the best I could do. 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: 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. 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.

this is a wonderful pattern. I have a huge stash of yarn in great colours and I was just asking myself what to make next… you have answered my prayers.
thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m not understanding how to start this pattern. Do you chain first to make a circle?

i think you have to start with the ‘magic loop’ thing:)

Found these on Ravelry. Great pattern. Great pictures. I made these in the same color and in the begining they resembled the infamous melon hat that was worn by a cat in a picture found around the web. My friend and I had quite a bit of fun with that concept.

I adore the buttons!!! The colour of the yarn is scrumptious and these slippers look absolutely perfect. A nice presentation and very inspirational. I can’t wait to try these out for myself. :)
[Reply]
can one make these slippers by using mercerized crochet thread? as in by following this tutorial???
[Reply]
Hi…i love this pattern…just a suggestion fr the finish…try crocheting backwards, it makes a pretty finsih :)
[Reply]
I have never come across slippers that are knitted before – but now they seem to be everywhere – following all the links in the comments here.
Just 1 question – is it easy enough to sew a leather (or something else?) sole on for a bit of grip, or have I missed something??

Hi, I saw once that someone used s shelf liner or cabinet liner and sowed it the bottom of the slipper so there would be cushion and grip on the floor. You can find it in the house ware section. Hope that helps.

I don’t usually crochet, I knit…but I think that with your tutorial I might actually be able to make these!
I’m following you now!

Thank you! they are lovely! and SO comfy!
[Reply]

Thank you for posting this free pattern! You’re Awesome! I can’t wait to try it.
I have one question:
Where did you get your crochet hook? or what brand is it?
I’ve been searching through so many web sites trying to find one with a large handle. My hands cramp up easily.
Thanks:)

You can buy these hooks at bernat.com I have some they run you about $6.50 not to bad.. But they take a little to get used to them the needle does not weem long enough.. But better on the hands I think..

I am so excited to make these. Nice job!! Also, the beginning loop is incredibly clever, as I’m a dunce at gauges and would either make it too tight or too lose.
God bless!

Hi! I just love Your slippers. I use slippers all year around, but untill now I´ve only used knitted ones. Having twins around my feet all day makes it easier to grabb a hook than the needles. Would You mind if I publish a swedish translation to Your pattern? I will not make the full tutorial but link to Your blog for the photos.
[Reply]
