Hobbies for the diligent
In the modern world, meditation is rapidly gaining popularity, but it has been noticed that relaxation can be hidden in handicrafts. Freed from mental work, taking colored fibers in your hands, you get a thrill from the consistent process of transforming a thread into something beautiful. This hobby has no disadvantages or drawbacks; desire and love are the main components of knitting. This article contains various information for complete beginners, as well as advice for those who are continuing and eager.
Captivated by diversity
Before you start creating a masterpiece, it is advisable to answer a number of questions. Let's start with the fact that indoor shoes are too broad a concept; it may not correspond to the idea that is well-established in people's understanding, for example:
- and plush yarn ballet shoes
- knitted slippers
- knitted slippers
- delicate traces...
- practical with felt sole for long-term use
- festive with patterns
- slippers – animals/fairy-tale characters
- seamless
- Japanese others
Knitted shoes are very popular because:
- the easiest to implement
- does not require expensive special materials, since the remaining material is sufficient
- easy to care for and wash
- fits perfectly and does not stretch
- durable, ductile and flexible
- Has endless color and design choices
Once you have decided on the type, size, material and are ready to start knitting, the following step-by-step video for beginners or a step-by-step procedure for carrying out the work in the drawing will help you.
Knitted slippers and socks with felt soles
You might like these socks and slippers, which are also very convenient for home use. They are much warmer because they warm the leg right up to the ankle. To work, you will need felt insoles, 200 grams of thick yarn, double needles No. 5, an awl and scissors.
We pierce holes on the insole around the perimeter so that the distance between the holes is from 0.5 to 0.7 cm.
After this, we will immediately crochet the felt sole using simple air loops.
We put 4 central Ps on the knitting needle in the toe area of the slipper.
We begin to knit in stockinette stitch, and at the end of each P we add 1 P, picking it up from the binding and knitting it depending on which row is being performed, that is, with front loops (LP) or purl loops (IP).
Having typed a large number of P onto the knitting needle, we transfer the knitting to two knitting needles.
Having knitted 3 cm from the beginning, we begin to make a simple braid on six central loops.

We work with this technique to the bottom of the little finger.
Continuing the needlework, we do not knit the last edge of the rows, and we collect the next P from the binding of the felt sole. We knit these 2 P together LP or IP, depending on the row.
Then the work begins in the round, and is transferred to all 4 knitting needles. In this case, part P is collected directly from the harness, like this.
We begin to perform the front stitch, decreasing P through P, and do it in the same place where we did the decreases before. So we knit no more than 3 cm, continuing to make the braid in front.
We knit to the place where the bone on the leg is located. While working, we periodically try on the slippers on our feet. This is necessary so that the width of the product is sufficient.
Having knitted the slippers to the required length, we proceed to knitting a 2x2 elastic band.
Each of you decides what length of elastic band you need to make. Having finished with the elastic band, close the P of the last row.
From squares means square?
A few words about weaving methods. One of the most common crochet techniques is the granny square. This method is considered simple and is distinguished by its originality, since several motifs are simply mixed and intertwined in one sock, and only you can decide how to decorate it.
But the quadrangle is quite suitable for simple indoor slippers. To knit your first pair, stick to the plans and description of each knitting step in the photo and you will succeed.
Hexagon... there are more angles, but it’s easier to knit with a 4-gon
Weaving beautiful slippers from hexagonal patterns is another easy and popular variety, as it resembles a circle and looks quite stylish in any closet. Do not ignore the instructions for obtaining a hexagonal figure.

Manufacturing stages based on the model
Many models of slippers with felt soles can make a beautiful gift. If you are interested in decorating them, they will not only warm your feet, but also evoke pleasant emotions. Flip-flops are considered the easiest to make. Having filled your hand a little, you can knit Czech shoes, both for a child and an adult, as well as closed slippers (with or without lace).
Getting started on each type of house shoe is the same, be it flip-flops or another product. Take an insole that needs to be tied. The holes are first pierced with an awl: the distance between the edge and each hole is 0.5 cm. To securely fasten the felt sole, the single crochet technique is used. Next, we think about how to design the top.
Craftswomen who love openwork knitting will need to use any hexagon pattern. A detail is knitted for each slipper. The openwork elements are simply stitched together at the end.
Indoor slippers
There is nothing difficult in making house shoes if you have detailed instructions with tips. To do this, we knit flip-flops step by step, following the recommendations presented below. You will need:
- threads of different colors so that indoor slippers are bright and positive;
- two hooks: No. 4.5 and No. 2/2.25;
- decor of any kind.
First of all, you need to tie the base using diagrams and descriptions. Tool No. 2 and the single crochet (SC) method are used. In all holes, except the first, two entries are made. When the entire insole is tied, the last post enters the first hole, thereby completing and securing the process. It is recommended to make another row along the insole using the same method. It turns out more reliable and durable.
The next step is to create two crocheted marks that will cover the felt base. If you take the average foot size, 38, then 27 air loops are cast. According to the classical pattern, the upper and lower rounded bases, as well as the first and second rows, are knitted. The third is created in six columns and half-columns with an overlap, another sixteen - without a crochet. All anatomical curves are repeated by row 4, and row 5 is knitted according to the standard. This way the foot is made on both sides. When the parts are ready, you need to connect everything together and the base.
A felt trace is tied in a circle with a single crochet. Next, the top element is created. For an open crossbar, the threads are not fastened to the very edge of the sole. You should step back to the side and make 8 chain stitches. You can connect the chain using a single crochet. This is done on the opposite side. Connecting loops are attached to the columns in the last row. It is important to knit two sc at the end of each stitch.
The next step is to knit the previous element in the entire first row of the top of the slipper. To add, you will have to pass the first post into the second loop. When the row ends, be sure to do two single crochets again, turn the piece over and knit the next one. The steps are repeated until the desired length of the top of the product is reached. 6-8 strips are enough. Next, the first stitch is knitted into the third loop.
Having created fifteen rows, you can move on to making the side panels. It is necessary to follow simple recommendations: work begins according to the usual pattern, but the row is not completely knitted. Five single crochets are made, the workpiece is turned over, and the first loop is “stepped over” to reduce their number by one. Next, 4 single crochets and 2 connecting stitches are created.
This method is used to carry out actions with subsequent stripes. Each odd stitch is decreased by a stitch until one stitch remains. You need to make two connecting loops on it and cut the thread. Crocheted slippers are almost ready. It remains to secure the second side panel in a similar way.

Children's Czech shoes
Any mother will be pleased to make slippers with her own hands for her daughter or son. Using colored yarn, you can create beautiful and bright children's shoes. Shoes can be completely knitted or have a tight base. For production you will need tools and materials: a 3.5 mm hook, a needle with a wide eye or an awl, felt insoles and yarn.
Crochet shoes with soles are created according to the following general pattern:
- First, the sides are knitted in 2-3 rows with a single crochet;
- then the upper part is made;
- all parts are connected to each other;
- The product is decorated to your liking.
Each master class on creating shoes begins with making holes in the felt insoles with an awl or a needle. Then the edges are tied with a double crochet stitch. For leg size 22, make 20 loops. Next, the first and second rows are made with a half-column, the third and subsequent rows are made with RLS with the addition of loops one at a time.
After making children's shoes, adult models can be knitted using the same pattern. It will look interesting if the whole family walks around the house in slippers made in the same color scheme. For some, such a hobby can easily become not just a pleasant and useful pastime, but also a good source of income.
Tie the sole, make sides
Make the top part, add decor
Closed slippers with lace
Closed slippers with a lace are a simple and, one might say, universal model of house shoes, suitable for men, women, and children. The only differences are in the quantity and color of yarn, as well as in the decoration. The crochet pattern for beginner needlewomen will be easy to master.
You need to knit in two threads. To do this, use a 2.5 mm hook. It starts with the sock. 8 chain stitches are cast on. Three loops are knitted from one along the edges to widen the nose. When you get a “boat”, the first fitting is done on the foot. If all fingers are closed, then there is no need to increase the pressure. The height of the product should be 3.5 cm. Another 7 cm is knitted in a circle without adding loops to get a kind of bag.
The upper part of the sneaker is divided into three. The right segment is knitted and an air loop is created. The product is unfolded so that the knitted side goes to the foot. Working using the “back and forth” method, the protruding parts are knitted from the sides. In this way you need to reach the heel. Then the fitting is done.
The finished canvas is visually divided into three parts, the right side is taken to work. This is where the heel flap will be created. Its height should correspond to 1/3 of the length of the middle of the canvas. The finished backdrop is tied to the left side with an overcast stitch. You should raise the working thread to the neck to stitch the top. When finishing is completed, the yarn will return to the beginning of its journey.
To complete the creation of closed slippers, laces are made. The yarn is not broken, but knitted to the place where the strap will be located. The laces are created from simple air loops (30 pieces). This is done with a single crochet. Having reached the side part, you should run an overlock stitch to the opposite side to begin knitting the second lace. When two ties are ready, the work can be considered completed.

Easy and tasteful
The most ordinary slippers perform a series of functions at once:
- firstly, they bring pleasure from the process to the performer
- secondly, they give frantic joy to the owner
- thirdly, they save money
- fourthly, they are unique of their kind in the whole wide world.
To create simple homemade slippers for all family members, make sure you have all the necessary elements: needle, insoles, scissors, crochet hook and yarn. Next, look at the step-by-step diagram in the picture, without skipping a single step.
Prefer thicker yarn. For thick thread, choose a thinner hook. Store-bought insoles should be chosen one size larger. A softer insole is more convenient for piercing with an awl.
Feel like a ballerina
Ballet flats are an elegant replacement for regular slippers.
Only thanks to their pattern, they instantly turn out super elegant and as cozy as possible. Moreover, the shoes have a textured sole, which has a great beneficial effect on the foot. And a special orthopedic insole can enhance the healing effect. Most likely, this kind of unknitted socks will look prettier on girls. Look at MK and knit a surprise for a friend, mother or daughter.

A simple way to knit indoor slippers with felt soles
This version of house slippers is the simplest, but at the same time, visually the model looks great. The felt sole consists of two bases, one of which is covered with latex and should be located at the bottom. During the crafting process, you will not need to tie the felt sole before starting work, but you will need to poke holes with an awl at the appropriate points. Knitting is done using thick yarn and knitting needles No. 5. For slipper sizes from 35 to 39, you need to cast on twelve buttonholes (P) on the knitting needles. This is the number of loops that ensures the required depth of knitted indoor shoes. In the case when you need deeper slippers, you will need to dial in more P. Having dialed the required number of P, we begin to knit an even fabric without changing their number.
When knitting a strip, count the number of rows (P). The fact is that there should be twice as many of them as the holes that we made in the felt sole. If there are 70 holes, then it is necessary to make 140 P of the product. Having finished with the rows, we remove the thread, but leave a long end, approximately one meter. This piece will be needed when you start sewing the top to the bottom. Assembling the finished slipper model with a felt sole begins with sewing the toe to the first layer of felt. It is necessary to combine one hole with one scar of the garter stitch ornament, which is not at all difficult. The ease of this operation lies in the fact that the second layer of felt sole will cover and disguise the first seam.

We connect with a thread the entire perimeter of the felt and the entire knitted surface of the slipper, right up to the toe, overlapping the rest of the fabric.
After this, all that remains is to add and sew on the second part of the felt sole, which has a latex coating at the bottom. The peculiarity of stitching is that it is necessary to carefully align the holes that were punched earlier. A stitch called “back needle” is perfect for this operation.
Inside the slipper there is a warm and comfortable felt insole. This is what these indoor shoes look like.
This model was made from melange yarn, but you can knit the same slippers with felt soles from plain yarn, and decorate them with pom-poms, ribbons and other accessories.
Recommendations for weaving footprints
Be sure to measure your feet accurately. Paper, pencil and scissors are all you need to measure. Felt soles are a great way to keep your feet warm on cool floors. Leather or suede will be used for the base, and “reinforce” it with ordinary women’s tights. Start on the toe and work your way up the rise.
Manufacturing process
The first stage - crocheting insoles - consists of the following steps:
- Decide on a “step”. To do this, knit 3-4 rows of 30-35 loops using the selected pattern and measure how long the segment will be. This is needed to calculate how many loops are needed for the selected size.
- Cast on the recommended number of chain stitches so that the length of the chain is equal to the length of the insole reduced by its width.
- Tie the chain in a circle. On the inside of the foot, knit single crochets (SC), and on the outside - double crochets (DC). In the place where the foot widens, make 3 half-columns (PS) on the inside.
- When the turn of the last six loops comes (closer to the fingers), knit 3 PS, 2 RLS. Knit 5 sc into the final loop. This will be a rounding. The lower part of the chain is knitted simply in stitches.
- Knit the second row in the same way as the first, only in the wide part of the foot the height of the columns needs to be increased. To knit a curve in the toe and heel areas, add 3 sc evenly. To do this, knit 2 sc from one loop. Repeat everything at three points.
- Rows 4, 5, 6 Knit sc, adding curves in the toe and heel areas.
- Knitting rows continues until the size of the sole matches the felt (or leather) insole. When they are equal, matching both halves, tie them with RLS along the outer edge. If you cannot pierce the sole with a hook, you should make holes in it in advance using an awl or a “gypsy” needle. They should be done at a distance of at least 5 mm from the edge, otherwise the threads may break through the insole.
- The holes are needed to catch the thread from below when tying. RLS at this stage are knitted by simultaneously grasping the top of the knitted insole and the felt sole. Having passed in this way along the entire perimeter of the slipper, the thread must be firmly secured and cut off.
Step by step, the second stage - knitting the top - looks like this:
- Start working from the corner of the sole on the side of the big toe. Knit a small row of sc, at the end of which make a connecting stitch (SS) in the plantar row.
- Turning the fabric the other way, knit the next row of sc, starting with the second loop and ending with the sc connecting the sole and SS. This will be the starting stitch of the next row.
- Knit subsequent rows in the same way, adding one stitch, taking into account the need to expand the foot.
- Having knitted the upper part of the product (calculate the depth based on the length of the foot - a little more than half), complete the work with a “crawfish step”. A kind of final touch would be to knit the last row with a thread of a different color.
A master class on knitting such slippers is easy even for a beginner. The main thing is to strictly follow the instructions, choose the right materials and tools.
It is important to correctly select consumables, as well as draw up a diagram of the number and location of loops.
Call of the Indians
Knitted moccasins are chic, trendy and very rare; Only a true fashionista would want to have these in her wardrobe; Aztec patterns will beneficially dilute the look. This pair is a little more difficult to make than ballet flats, as they have a particularly rigid pattern and a complex bottom part. The video with the master class clearly shows all the steps of making women's moccasins.
Important: The base of the shoe must be rubber. Lacing is required on children's moccasins for a stronger fixation of the legs. To get more accurate measurements, you need to take them in stockings, measuring from heel to toe with a ruler.
A similar knitting pattern is also used for simpler-style slippers with soles. This pair will be more useful at country cottages. They are suitable for long walks on grass and gravel; they can protect you from small pebbles and bad weather and at the same time maintain a comfortable temperature from the inside.
Let's get started
For the slippers we need:
- felt;
- threads 150 grams;
- scissors;
- pattern;
- hook 3 mm;
- an awl or a thick needle.
The pattern is very easy to make. Place your insole on a piece of felt and trace around it, making 1 cm allowances.
With the description you will understand how to knit slippers, even if you have never knitted. Moreover, crocheting is easier than knitting.
To knit, you will need to be able to knit with single crochets. First, let's cast on air loops. The first loop that is on the hook does not count.
It should look like this.
Next we lift the knitting up. We make a lifting loop, thread the hook through the lifting loop and the previous loop.

We pass the thread through these two loops.
Using this principle, a single crochet is knitted.
Let's start knitting slippers.
First, we make holes in our insoles with an awl or a thick needle. You should retreat 0.5 mm from the edge; the gaps between the holes are also 0.5 mm.
Then you need to tie the insole, as in the photo. Fold the thread in half and tie it with a single crochet, two stitches in each hole. You need to knit tightly so that the slippers keep their shape.
Next, measure the length around the perimeter to calculate the length of the pattern.
The motif should be hexagonal. For one sneaker you need three motifs.
You can use other knitting patterns, as long as they are hexagonal.
It is necessary to take into account that if you multiply the length of the side of the motif by 8, then it should be equal to the perimeter of our insole.
You should get six such parts.
Next you need to sew all the details. We sew together the parts numbered 1, then the parts numbered 2. We do not sew the parts numbered 4.
The parts can be sewn with a needle and thread or with a crochet hook.
We sew parts number 3 to the insole. When we sew all the parts to the insole, we will slightly mix the noses to the right and left, for the left and right legs. If you want to make completely knitted slippers, you can knit two feet for each slipper. And sew a felt insole inside the knitting. However, when washing slippers, it is worth considering that felt requires special handling. When washing slippers in the washing machine, you need to set the temperature to low. Also, do not wring out the slippers; they should dry on their own. Otherwise, the sole will become shapeless.
The soles should not be made in light colors, they get dirty quickly and you will need to wash the slippers often. If you decide to make a knitted sole with felt inside, then it is better to choose synthetic threads for the outside of the sole. They provide a tighter knitting, through which dirt will not pass, since there will be practically no holes in the knitting.
