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.

I’ve seen a pattern similar to this, and I tried and tried but couldn’t get it to work. For this one, not only did I get it right on the first try, I’m already beginning my second pair! Thanks so much!
I’ve made a couple of modifications to the pattern for this go-round — I’m doing two rounds around the opening as you did, but I’m, decreasing 25% on the second one (sc2tog every fourth stitch), and also creating a three-stitch-wide strap that is affixed on both sides. They don’t look quite as glamorous, but they fit better when using a yarn that’s not wool (this pair is a silk/bamboo blend).
Love it!!

I made these last night.
It’s so ugly here that I have worn them all day.
They are so cute, I’m going to make them for Christmas.
Thanks Lisa.

Hi Lisa! I love your slippers and am working up two pairs for Mother’s Day gifts. I found this on ravelry – I’m lackadaisy. What size foot does this slipper fit? My M-I-L wears a size 4.5, and I’m thinking I might need to adjust slightly? Thanks bunches! – Layla

Hi, thank you for your pattern, it’s really cute.

After 4 round my work is different from your picture, I try to explain(sorry for my basic english)
The cup is more wide than yours it’s like a triangle and not a “cup” and it doesn’t it on my foot.
I hope to recive your answer, thank you so much!

Hello Lisa, the moment I saw these gorgeous slippers I went to the shop for wool and made two pair of these Mary Jane Slippers, one pair for my daughter in law and one pair for myself. I am só glad with them and all of my internetfriends too. You did a great job Lisa with this very smart pattern and you are a very good pattern writer too!

Thanks. Sarah west midlands England.

WOW, I can’t wait to make these. I told my family I am making them all something this year and not buying anything. These are perfect for the females. Now for some slippers for the males in my family. thank you for these perfect directions.
[Reply]
Love these, I made these for my daughter.
The only problem I had was figuring out the first step! How do you make the DC in a circle? I had to chain two and join, then add the 8 DCs…
Thanks
[Reply]
Great pattern–the photos really help! I wish more patterns had them. I did a sort of Persian Slipper thing, with some glass beads on the front.
