I love crocheting these slippers because the pattern is so easy and you can crochet whilst watching your favourite programme.
My daughter and her friends do prefer the Longer type of Crochet Slipper Boots that I crochet for them. So they can fold down or wear like socks.

I have provided the measurements as a guide for you to crochet a pair of slippers that fit! Make a Note of the sizes required.
NOTE: Add some GRIP to your Crochet Slipper socks. You could use a glue gun and put strips along the sole of the slipper, or I have also seen people use puff paint on the soles to make them less slippy and I do believe you can buy leather soles and glue them onto the bottom of the slippers however I have never done this.
You can use ANY size yarn and crochet hook size that is compatible JUST follow the measurements I have provided!! (please adjust the size of the hook, if needed I crochet extremely loosely)
