As soon as I came up with this pattern, I couldn’t resist sharing it! The Posy Toes Crochet Slippers are soft, cozy, and made in breathable cotton they’re just right for spring – and summer too! Wear these to ward off a mild chill or just to look pretty!
The Posy Toes Crochet Slippers feature flowers that are made as you crochet – no sewing them on later! This means they stand up a bit, giving you a little garden on top of each foot! This would be a great project for stash-busting too, as they only take one skein of yarn, plus a bit of a second skein… or 3 shorter lengths, to make 3 different colored stripes and flowers!

With the Posy Toes Crochet Slippers you’ll be ready to pad around the house in style, with a tiny little garden on your toes. You could also whip up a pair to stash in your purse for those times when heels get to be too much (and you can get away with slippers). If you wish to make your crochet slippers non-slip, there are a variety of options available, including caulk, puff paint, and liquid rug backing. There are also pre-made soles you can sew on, and a neat looking tutorial for how to make your own on The Zen of Making!
I hope you enjoy your new crochet slippers as much as I do! I love the “make flower” technique I came up with for these, and hope to use it in other projects in the future. What colors will you use for your Posy Toes?

I can’t wait to make these! As soon as I make a scoodie for a friend
Thanks for the slipper pattern. It is hard to find pretty crochet patterns for slippers. I’m looking for patterns for children slippers or bedroom slippers.
Hi there! I have a quick question about the Pozy Toes slipper pattern. I’m at round 4 and am a little confused. You say Ch2 *dc in next (11) 3 sts, 2dc in next. Repeat from * to end. Is the (11) the stitch count for how many times this repeats? Or is it dc in next 3 sts, 2dc in next st, repeat to end?
Thank you so much for you input on this and for your great patterns!!
Laura
Hi Laura! You caught a typo, which I’ve fixed, but let me explain what the two numbers mean.
This pattern is written for both Average and Wide width feet, so the numbers refer to the different sizes.
If you are making the Average width, you’ll read the instructions as: Ch2 *dc in next 11 sts, 2dc in next st. Repeat from * to end.
If you are making the Wide width, you’ll read the instructions as: Ch2 *dc in next 3 sts, 2dc in next st. Repeat from * to end.
Does that help?
That helps!! Thank you!

I am making these as a birthday gift for my mom (she lives in Iowa and I live in Australia – they are the perfect lightweight gift to send through the mail!) But I have a couple of questions about the “Finishing Instructions”: What do you mean by “Ch 1 and sc evenly around the foot opening, working 2 sc in the side of each row and 1 sc in each sc” – I don’t understand where the 2 sc are meant to go – 2 sc in the same space in the side of each row? Or 2 sc per row side? Also, should step 3 start with: “Using Color B” rather than Color A?
Thanks so much for sharing this pattern!
Hi Clare! I’m in Iowa too!
Ok, so the ch 1 and sc evenly with 2sc in the side of each row and 1 sc in each sc means that if you and I have the same approximate gauge, you’ll want to put two single crochets in the side of the last/first st of each row – since they’re dc rows there should be room to put them separately along the side of the sts. Then at the front of the ankle you’re working into the top of Round 12, so you can just work one stitch in each st. And you’re right about step 3… oops! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll fix that!
Thanks for explaining that. It makes sense now!
I really enjoy your website. I always look forward to your new patterns (I have made a few and have several on my “to-do” list) and have so much fun browsing through your pattern roundups! And even though I live in Sydney, I will always be an Iowa girl at heart
Thanks again for your help!
I’m so glad it helped! Thanks again for letting me know about the error!
I had been searching for a slipper pattern that wouldn’t be too complicated but still look like a slipper all winter long! Looking at the basic pattern, I don’t know why I didn’t think of this myself! Thank you so much! I love it!
Two of my question were answered above. I am so excited. I love the look of the slippers. But look at Row 14 Ch 2 dc in each s ???. Thanks a million for cute slippers.
Oops! 2 dc in each st (stitch). I’ll fix that now – thanks for the heads up!
They were easy and fast to make! I made it in dark green and light green, the flowers look like four leaf clovers ^__^
Sounds pretty! Glad you like the pattern Shannon!
i first noticed this pattern because they are the only crocheted slippers I’ve seen that stand up by themselves and don’t flop over. Also, the design is artistic, not just utilitarian. I found the pattern is very easy to make. They’re comfortable and fit well. I made a pair for myself (photo on my website listed above), and am now making two pairs for a friend who begged me for them. After that, another pair for me. Thank you so much for designing these and making the pattern available!
I’m so glad you like them, Dot! And what a good friend you are!
