        Looks can be deceiving! If the cables intimidate you, you can just substitute dc sts, but I do encourage you to watch the post stitch videos linked in the pattern and give them a try! It's a very basic cable pattern, and there are step by step photos, so I think it would be a good intro to crochet cabling project.

            Bev, that's because there's a photo tutorial to help those who are unfamiliar with crochet cabling. If you use the green Print Friendly button at the end of the pattern, you can check the box to remove the photos, and that will dramatically reduce the number of pages needed to print the pattern.

          I love this pattern, and it is so much simpler than it looks, and works up so quick! I wonder if they could be modified so that the cable is centered rather than offset, and then you really wouldn't need a separate pattern for left and right, one pattern would fit both feet? That would simplify it even more.

      These slippers are great - my mom has real narrow feet and they fit her perfect - she loves them! The only thing I had problems understanding was in row 4 on the left foot it says to dc in sts - and it is actually just one st instead of multiples - I thought maybe the number had been left off - otherwise no problems understanding the pattern at all - thanks so much for sharing such a great pattern with us! 🙂

I too was a bit intiminated with the cables, but with your great directions I breezed thru the pattern. Thank you so much for the great slipper pattern. I put your website in my "favorites".

        Andrea, there are a couple things you could try, but the first thing I'd try is going down a hook size, maybe 2 or even 3 (depending on just how narrow we're talking!). Get the first few rows done and then try it on to see. If that doesn't work let me know, and we can work out how to reduce stitches. 🙂

      I am self-taught, so I am confused as to the chain 2 in the first round not counting as a stitch. I thought that was always counted as the first double crochet in the row. Do I just skip over that to sl st in the first dc in each round? (Does my question even make sense?) 😉

        Hi MaryLee! Sometimes it counts as a stitch, sometimes it doesn't - it all depends on the pattern! For this pattern, it does not count as a stitch, so when you join with a sl st at the end of the round, you do indeed just skip over it and work into the top of the first actual dc stitch. The reasoning here is to prevent a gap from the ch 2 being thinner than a dc stitch, and make a more solid slipper. 🙂

And how many stitches should I have when it's completed? 22 or25? I really want to complete these slippers. Thank you.

        Directions are give for Average(Wide) in the instructions.

        So for the right foot, Round 3 reads: Round 3: Ch 2, [dc in next 9(3) sts, 2 dc in next st] 2(5) times. Join to first dc with a sl st. (22(25) dc)

        If you are making the Average width size, you'll Ch 2, [dc in next 9 sts, 2 dc in next st] 2 times. Join to first dc with a sl st. (22 dc total)

        If you are making the Wide width size, you'll Ch 2, [dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st] 5 times. Join to first dc with a sl st. (25 dc total)

        I hope that makes it clearer?

Thank you...we are are working on Christmas and birthday gifts already. Thanks again for a nice (hard looking) but simple pattern. It was fun!!!

I loved learning about front post crochet! Plus all your other tips. I will be making a pair for my son next. Really, really enjoyed this. Thank you so much for this pattern and all the instruction.

      Hi,

      I am on round four and I am just double checking on the term "fptrc". Is this a basic front post double crochet? Or is it a "treble front post"?

        Hi Antoinette! Sounds like you're using a thinner yarn than called for, or your tension is far greater than mine! It's an easy enough fix though. I'd recommend repeating the cable rounds until you reach the arch and then repeating the rows even until you get the length you need. If you are using bulky yarn, you may also want to bump up a hook size or two.

      I have a question on the Simple Chunky Cable slippers. I didn't have chunky so I'm using two strands of red heart super saver because I have a ton of it. I've heard it said that the older one get the more their brain cells die. 🙂 I just can't figure out row five.... I believe I got line 4 down but as much as I try that fifth row has yet to be figured out. Can someone please walk me through it in baby steps lol. I wanted to make them for my little grand daughter and so far I've only got the first four rows, at this point I'll never get it done. lol. Thanks for any help I can get.

        Hi Sherilynn, I hope I can help! Ok, so Round 5 is all dc sts except for that fptrc2tog - so I have to assume that's the stitch that's tripping you up? I have a video tutorial that demonstrates this stitch. It's in the context of another pattern, but the stitch itself is the same. https://www.mooglyblog.com/basics-of-the-diamond-crochet-cowl-and-fptrc2tog/

      In the UK, where I am typing this from a dc is what appears to be a single crochet in your patterns.

      What is a dc for you - a half treble or a treble?

      I would love to do this pattern but can't figure this out.

      I dove into this project thinking it was going to be a straight-forward one hour project. Not so. I'm pretty good with crochet and have done some intermediate projects without an issue. Your tutorial for the fptc links to a fpdouble (or single) crochet which I found confusing...and then the tutorial for the fptrc2tog was confusing since it wasn't based off the project in the pattern.

      I applaud your effort but this pattern is definitely a four hour pattern...unless you're familiar with this non-traditional stitch.

        Hi Stephanie! I'm sorry you had so much trouble with the pattern. The fptrc is the same as a fpdc, just with a tr instead of a dc (aka, yo twice to begin instead of once). If you're not familiar with treble sts or post stitches, there are video tutorials for those as well. The fptrc2tog is worked the same in both patterns - the cable of the slippers is just a small section of the same cable pattern of the cowl. The step by step photo tutorial also shows the cable stitches. I'll try to make videos specifically for fptrc and fptrc2tog in the future.

      Thank you Tamara for this pattern. I am not the best 'crocheter' but I love this pattern. I was able to whip one up in an hour even though I was not familiar with the fptr2tog. I made the large size first. It fits me perfect. Then I made the smaller size for my son's girlfriend. It fit her perfectly.
      I need help with something though. My oldest son's girlfriend would like a pair. The length of the small size fits her but the opening is too small for the foot to fit through. She says she has small, fat feet! LOL She has to buy children's socks b/c her feet are so small.
      Can you give me some pointers on how to adapt the pattern for her foot? It is perfect except for the opening that you put your foot through to get it on.
      Thanks.

        😀 Glad it worked for you Darlajune! So the opening of the small size is too small for her - how about the opening of the large size? Is that still too small? You can make the larger size (wide width) and then stop the length at Row 14 (or Row 12 or 13 if her feet are even shorter) and sew up the back. If the wide width size is still too narrow, going up a hook size might give you the extra ease needed.

      I just taught myself how to crochet today, and I'm very confused by row 16. It says to only do 9 sc then fold in half with right rides together? I don't understand that. Is one side supposed to be higher? When I fold in half the sides don't match up. Am I supposed to adjust them to where they do match?

        Ok, first, WOW! I'm impressed and humbled you just learned today and have made a pair of slippers - so congrats!! Now as for that last row, yes, the one side is a little higher, but you adjust and sew the higher half to the lower half. This keeps you from having a knot on the bottom of the heel, and from having to cut the yarn to work the edging around the ankle. I hope that helps!

      Wow Tamara! I have made a pair for my daughter and for my 2 son's girlfriends, who all have different type feet. Your suggestions for adapting the pattern to their foot sizes worked perfectly. They are CRAZY about these. They all had theirs on yesterday at our Thanksgiving dinner. Also, I used 2 strands of I Love This Cotton for all 3 pairs in their favorite colors, 2 colors for each slipper. Then I used their most favorite of the 2 colors as the trim around the opening. It really made the trim stand out. These are definitely winners with my family. I am so glad I FINALLY found a really good slipper pattern. I have tried so many. Thanks again, Tamara, for all the work & time you put into your patterns and video tutorials. I appreciate your efforts and your willingness to share with us fellow crocheters. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! We sure did, and all my girls had warm feet.

      Hi
      thank you for this excellent pattern. I have made 4 pairs of slippers so far, two with the twist pattern and two using simple double crochet. All have turned out perfect. I made the first one for my daughter and she loves it. It is in bright red chunky wool and her feet glow when she has the slippers on. The second pair was red again for a friend's birthday and she told me today that her mum tried them on and would like a pair! The next two, without the twist, are going to two friends as Christmas presents tomorrow.
      I am looking forward to the weekend to crochet my next pair and then another and then.... I am addicted to this pattern.

      Tamara, thanks so much for this wonderful yet simple pattern. It's been unusually cold here in the Philippines at this time. Thick socks just don't give my feet the warmth they need, and I don't know why! It's like they keep my feet cold when I wear them with cold feet 😀 My feet cringe every morning from the cold floor of our house. So I searched for soft comfy crochet slippers and came upon your site. I like your pattern so much and it works that I made four pairs right away! I must say, you have a nice successful website, keep it going 🙂 By the way I just started my own blog a few days ago, and I wish to link to this page to share to more people about your pattern. For the ones I made, however, I wanted to make them quickly and get more heel coverage so I used plain dc instead of cabling and made a minor modification for the finishing edge, I also modified the pattern a bit to fit my little boy's feet. Can I ask for permission to link to this page and also show the minor changes I've used? I will be showing my own pictures of finished products using your pattern but with the changes I made, I greatly appreciate any positive response from you -- it will certainly help a newbie blogger like me for her first real blog post! Thanks!

My grandmother tried to teach me when I was little...that's all I remember! 2 years ago I dragged out the dusty sewing machine and made all the women in my family kitchen aprons for Christmas. This past Christmas they got arm knitted scarves. So, is there a snowball's chance that I could learn how to do this in time for this Christmas? Any ideas, beginner video tutorials, or any type of help would be most appreciated!!

      I made these slippers without making any changes & they fit perfectly! I used the average size instructions. My only glitch is the cable stitches swerve to the right on both of them. I was very careful to use the dc stitches & not the sl st stitches. I tried to follow all the instructions exactly. Any advice about where I goofed up?

        Hm, I'm not sure! If your stitch counts before and after the cable are right, it's hard to say. Are you making sure to skip the tops of the dc sts behind the cables? That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head.

      Hello,
      I have made these fab slippers for all of us. Daughters friend wanted some so made last night ....only I seem to have made left foot upside down this time! Didn't notice until sewing threads in and can't pull out as I added sequin yarn and sequins are stubborn little buggers to pull out! So off I go again ..Left foot forward ! Kindest. Angela

      In order to print out Simple Cable Crochet Slippers , 27 pages on both sides. That is the only way to copy it. I certainly hope it's worth it. I can promise I will never copy another. I do not understand why a free pattern has to come with a lot of unneseary information .

      These really are one of my favorite patterns for slippers. They're fairly quick and you can pretty much memorize the pattern after making it a couple of times. I love the cabling because it makes it look difficult, but it's really a quick item to whip out. This was the first pattern I ever tried with cables and it gave me courage to try other cable patterns. Thank you so much for this fabulous pattern. 🙂

        Also, one quick question, the pattern for the left foot reads:

        Row 11 (Switching to rows): Ch 2, dc in the sl st and the next 16(19) sts. Turn. (17(20) dc)

        Row 12: Ch 2, dc in the next 17(20) sts. Turn. (17(20) dc)

        Shouldn't Row 11 be 17(20) dc's, not 16(19)? If the stitch count is 17(20) in that row and row 12 doesn't have any increases in the pattern and the stitch count is also 17(20)? I really hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for clarifying. =)

      i really like the looks of these. wondering if the design would be as snug (but not as attractive) without the decorative cables? would omitting them change the fit? i think not, but if anyone knows, i won't have to experiment myself.

      thanks for the quick, cute pattern.

        I would make the larger Women's size in wide - men's shoes typically run wider. 🙂 If you can try them on as you go that would be best, that way you'll know if you need to add an extra row to the length before closing up the heal.

      I'm not sure if this was covered in the comments or not. But in Rnd 3, it says "dc in the next 9 (3) sts" then "2dc in the next st"... Is the (3) supposed to be (13) or am I supposed to add 3 extra dcs in the rnd each time?

          I understand that the parentheses are for the larger size. My confusion is, in this rnd, the number in the parentheses is smaller. Do I crochet 3 dcs then 2dc in one st and repeat? Or was it supposed to be a larger number?

            It is the correct number - having a smaller number in the parenthesis means that you'll have more repeats, and more increases, for a smaller size. 🙂 Hence the "2(5) times"

You were generous enough to give us the pattern. You have given us a printer friendly button. And even if you hadn't, cut and paste always works.

I had used a purchased pattern that was a disaster! Finished both socks only to find out they were nearly 4 sizes too big and looked horrible. I followed the pattern to a T. Any way, yours whipped up in less than an hour for the pair and they are perfect! Love, love love them! Thanks so much.

      I need help with the left slipper. I made the right one first and it looks just like the picture of yours. I followed the written instructions for the left one and the cables are not in the position shown in your picture of the left slipper. They are on the right side of the left slipper rather than on the top left. I am an experienced crocheter and have re-read the written instructions several times looking for my mistake and can't find it. The video tutorial only shows the right slipper so it couldn't help me either.

        The cable should shift because of the number of stitches worked before and after the post stitches. I'm not sure why that isn't the case for you.

          Thanks for getting back to me. The directions for the left slipper on my version of the pattern, which I found at allfreecfochet.com, were incorrect. After the Ch 2 to start Round 4 it said to dc in the first st & then to fptrc around stictch 4 of Round 3. This put the cable on the inside of the slipper. Before I heard back from you I did the calculation to dc in the next 16 sts of Round 4 and then fptrc around stitch 18 of Round 3. This put the cable in the correct position on the left slipper & it turned out as well as the right one did. Thanks again.

      Hi, these look wonderful. I love the idea of starting at the toe and working up. Kind of like amigurumi! Fabulous. I wondered about the possibility of felting them after they've been all worked up. I was thinking of using a 100% yarn, in the suggested weight, and since I am a size 6, would go with the size 9-11. I wanted to ask you, as the designer, what you think?

        so, to the issue of felting that was asked. i have yet to make this pattern - but, if it runs large, it may well be perfect for at least partial felting (fulling). if this is your first felting project, use 100% wool (NOT SUPERWASH) like sheep's pride or wool of the andes - then felt by hand to be sure they don't get to small. if you have a good shoe 'mold' (an old pair of good fitting shoes that you don't mind getting wet) you can cover the shoe with plastic wrap and slip the wet felted slipper over the shoe mold and let it dry. the size and shape should be perfect for you.

That said, I will tackle the new-to-me cable but hate making left & right slippers. Is there a way to adapt the pattern so the cable goes up the center front of the slipper instead of left or right?

        Hi Karen! And thank you! The cables are meant to sort of be on one side or the other (right foot vs left foot), but it sounds like yours have more angle than that? Rounds do tend to have a bit more of an angle to them than rows, but then they would be going the same direction. I know this sounds silly, but is it possible you have them twisted on your feet? It's always so hard to guess without being there of course.

The video for this pattern (linked above in the bullet points) demos the cables far better than my more generic cabling video but the key is post stitches - and if you aren't familiar with those, click here! 🙂 And yes, you could just keep crocheting evenly around the ankle opening for boots - that would make a great fold over cuff! 🙂

      I actually made one pair, no problem, at Christmas. Now I'm trying to repeat as a special request and I'm struggling. I've watched the tutorials and have the directions in front of me and don't know what I'm doing wrong. The left slipper defies me. I've ripped this one down to row four half a dozen times but will not give up as son-i- law with bony, skinny feet loves them.

        Hi Julianne! I'm so sorry to hear it! :/ I wish I knew what to say, it's hard to guess at what the issue might be - especially since you've had success before!

      Thank you for your wonderful pattern and tutorial. Thanks to both I was able to learn how to make a Migic Circle (Ring) and a nice warm pair of slippers. I will be making slippers for family this year thanks to your help. I did not crochet the cable and doublecrocheted throughout the pattern instead. I am a novice crocheter so I used the simplest method possible. Thanks so much for all your help!

      Hi Tamara. I am most anxious to try this pattern. I have a question. I want to make a pair of these for my daughter. She normally wears a size 8 1/2. So should I go with the directions for the larger size? (9-11) I see that you say these are a little bit loose fitting. Not sure what to do. Don't want them to be over-sized.

        Hi Carol! As long as the yarn you are using has some stretch, I would think the smaller size would be best! 🙂

      Would wool-ease thick and quick work with this patern? Looking to do a bit of stash busting. Also wool-ease chunky seams to be discontinued.

        If you can get gauge it should work! Might have to play with hook size though. 🙂

      I love these!! I held two strands of ww together and still used a j hook. I left off row 10 and changed the last row of DC to a hdc and they fit my 8.5s perfectly. I'm going to make another pair and go down a hook size so I can hopefully keep the pattern the same. But these are so cozy! They stayed on all night and don't slip around while I'm walking. Thank you so much!

          Mine don't look like your's. My cables aren't as nicely defined as yours, (or the same shape) and run on an angle to the side??? Wish I could attach the photo I took of them.

            Hi Mary Jane! It could be gauge/tension, it could be the yarn used. You can email me at tamarakelly@mooglyblog.com if you'd like me to take a look!
