I hate having cold feet and I hate wearing shoes inside the house too! These easy crochet slipper socks are the perfect pair to cozy up with in front of the fire and snuggle in as the snow falls outside again today.
As a beginner to crochet, I struggled to understand how to “turn a heel” when making socks and I knew there just had to be an easier way to crochet sock! And boy oh boy have I found it!
These crochet slipper sock are worked in rows and flat! In one long, unrecognisable shape compared to a standard sock, but are sewn up into soft, squishy and warm socks in next to no time!

Lay your sock flat with the ankle on the left (as pictured), fold over at the heel section.
Pin the heel rows together using stitch markers (the Dc (Sc) rows).
Fold the sock again, this time at the toe section and secure with stitch markers.
Match up the two short ends and secure those together. Secure the sides of the sock where the heel section is
Sewing Up Your Sock
- Secure all the way round the sock with as many stitch markers as you need.
- Thread long tail on to your tapestry needle and begin sewing up, ensuring both sides are secure and you sew between each row.

- Sew back up the heel join, to the 3 way join.
- Insert your hand down the seam to ensure there are no holes.
