Crochet Sneaker Slippers in the spirit of Converse, by Mun Tekemä
The slippers fit a foot size EU ca 43-47 (US adult 9-13).
A 3 mm crochet hook was used.
The yarn that was originally used (Novita 7 Veljestä, a brand from Finland) is listed as worsted, but as it at most could be described as light worsted I would recommend that you use a light worsted or DK weight if you substitute (translaters remarks).
Row 1: Ch 3, 12 dc in 1st ch, join first and last dc with sl st.
Row 2: Start every row with ch 3 = 1 dc. 2 dc in every st. Close with a sl st.
Row 3: *Dc in next st, 2 dc in the following st* repeat *-,-* until end of row.
Row 4: Dc in every st, no increases.
Change the color of your yarn.
Rows 5-8: Continue in dc.
The slipper is divided into the front flap and the rest of the slipper.
Front flap:
Row 9: Start the row with; 2 dc in the next st, 4 dc, 2 dc in the next st, 4 dc, 2 dc in the next st = 14 dc.
Dc back and forth ca 12-14 rows.
Last row: Ch 1, 3 sc, 1 hdc, 5 dc, 3 sc.
Rest of the slipper:
Row 9: Dc in the last dc of the front flap (= 3 dc in the same st) and continue across. No increases. Continue crocheting back and forth.Row 10-12: Start and finish the row by increasing 1 st (= +2 sts per row).
Row 13: Start the row by increasing 1 dc in the first st, then increase 1 dc in every 8th st and increase 1 dc in the last st.
Row 14: No increases.
Row 15-17: Start and finish the row by increasing 1 st (= +2 sts per row).
Row 18: As row 13, but increase in every 9th st.
Row 19: No increases.
Rows 20-21: Increases at the beginning and end of the row, if necessary.
Crochet until 22-25 rows. On the last rows no increases were made. Leave a long end to seam the back seam.
Finishing:
Seam the back seam. Weave in ends. Crochet 2 rows of sc around the slipper (but NOT around the front flap).
Side label:
Row 1: Ch 3, 12 dc in 1st ch, join first and last dc with sl st.Row 2: 2 dc in every st. Close with a sl st.
Row 3: Sc the last row. 2 sc in every 3rd st, close with a sl st. Leave a long end to seam the label onto the sneaker. Finish the label by sewing on a star and a dotted line. Or instead of a star, sew on the initials of the recipient of the slippers.
Finish the sneakers by threading a wide thread meant for sneakers into every 3rd sc.

For those who love to crochet by following video directions, here is a wonderful Crochet Tutorial: Sneaker Slippers video tutorial by Stitch Stitch Boom. This is a different than the one from the previous page, however the result is pretty much similar: both patterns create beautiful looking and comfy feeling Crochet Converse Slippers.
I apologize for the lower quality of this video. It rendered fine but for some reason its coming up quite fuzzy online 🙁
I have come across many, MANY awesome and very intricate crochet patterns for Converse style slippers. Some look pretty much identical to the shoes themselves. Pretty much the coolest. This pattern is FAR from being that intricate! Haha. This is more of an easy pattern that beginners and those crocheters who are just stepping out of beginner status won’t have too hard of a time with. As always, if you have questions with the pattern, please email me @ [email protected].
FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY STITCHES AROUND THEY NEED: The closest thing I’ve found for figuring this out is making a chain and wrapping it around your foot snugly. However many chains you have should be the amount of chains that you need.
Thank you for watching!
