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.

Thank you so much for sharing your pattern. I’m a very visual person, so your pics made a world of difference for me. Last night I made the 1st slipper and it came out almost very close to yours, my only hiccup is making it a bit more snug on the top. Thanks again!
[Reply]
Wow, I can not wait to make these! I hope that they come out as nicely as yours did, thank you so much for sharing the patterns and the pictures!
Happy crocheting!

I absolutely LOOOVE the way these feel! I think in total it hasn’t taken but 2 hours to whip up a pair of these! I’m feeling sad that I’m giving away the first pair… lol making a second pair should be easy peasy thanks to your photos and step by step pattern. ^_^

I made these today. So easy and quick! Love them!
[Reply]
Hi!
Thank you for the great pattern- I just made a pair pretty easily. The # of stitches along my top were different than yours…probably due to the difference in yarn gauges… but I just kept going to make it more snug and it came out well. I just have a question: In the very last, optional step about reinforcing the button loop- how do you sc along the strand?! I’m having trouble doing that and can you or anyone please advise?
Thanks!
[Reply]
These are fantastic, I’m definitely doing several of them!! Thank you so much for sharing with so much detail!
I’m trying to make some for a 4 year old cousin… Do you have any idea how many initial row stitches I will need for that?… I don’t know her shoe size but if I ask her mother the surprise is ruined… If you could help I’d much appreciate. thanks
[Reply]

[Reply]
I am having trouble with this part. What stitches do I work for these 2 rounds?
Work 2 rounds even. By this time, the little “cup” should fit over your toes, like so:

Hello Mary Jane, I’m a french girl, and I speak little english.
Your slippers are so beautiful !!! I want to ask you your “permission” to translate your tuto in french for my friends french with my photos and my words, in my blog.
I hope you understand me, my english is bad ! I’m waiting for your “autorisation” for beginning !
[Reply]
J ‘ai having found a translator on the net, this is going to be easier for me!
I intend to make a tuto in French with a model to me inspired by yours. You give me this approval. I would show you my tuto and put a link of your blog on mine
[Reply]
Love this pattern. My only suggestion for the loop part is to attach yarn where you want the loop – make a chain of how long you want the loop to be then sc in each loop and reattach loop in same spot where you originally attached to start the loop – nice and secure – I find that trying to single crochet on a strand of yarn – not as secure for me.
HOpe this helps
Great job on this pattern.

I learned to crochet two and a half weeks ago and this pattern was by far the cutest and the easiest to follow. here is my slipper following your pattern. Thank you so much!!!

I love this pattern! Any chance you would know how to make it in a child size? My 4 year old has size 12 feet.
Thanks!
[Reply]
Cute cute cute! One question. I’m fairly new to this, been doing it about 6 weeks. When you say “double crochet” do you really mean double, or do you mean the European double, which is the American single?
Thanks!
[Reply]
LOL! Never mind…I re-read more carefully, and you really do mean double.

I am working on these adorable slippers for my mom’s birthday. I absolutely love them and can’t wait to make myself a pair.
By the way, I’m a Houston momma that crochets too. I totally get what you were saying on your other post about the weather. My folks said that the news is saying it might snow tonight. Brrr!
Oh yeah, found you on Ravelry and I love the blog.
[Reply]
You are so talented–and kind as well, to share this pattern with the world!
They look so comfortable and warm….can’t wait to make my first pair!
All the best,
Doris

I’m trying to stay calm but I really want to jump around the house because THIS is the pattern I’ve been looking for. Yipee!!! I’d like to make my Littles a pair of knitted shoes and I think I can follow these instructions easily enough to do so. Many thanks! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your blog.
[Reply]
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again – taking you feeds also, Thanks.
[Reply]
Would you mind if I translate your tutorial to Hungarian and posted in a blog of hungarian crocheting learners? Of course I write your blog as source.
[Reply]
if i want to make these in a size 6 what changes would i make? anyone?
[Reply]
Wow, those are great! I´m so going to try them soon :)
[Reply]
I love this pattern! I made it in Lion’s Brand Wool-Ease and it came out very cushy. For the top round and loop, I joined where I wanted the loop to be, chained 20, single crocheted in the space where I joined, and sc around with a sl st to the joined stitch. Thanks for sharing!
