Can we take a minute of appreciation for chunky crochet slipper socks, please? I love my Lake Cabin Crochet Socks and I am sharing the free crochet pattern with you!

CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS DESIGN PROCESS

You might have noticed that based on the last couple of patterns, I am cold blooded individual.

Not in a nasty way, I just really suffer with cold hands and feet! If you remember I designed The Mountain Crochet Leg Warmers not so long ago.

I love wearing my legwarmers but they do not really keep my feet warm. The combination of bulky yarn and easy stitches make these slipper socks a dream to make. 

They are so easy and comfy to wear and finally there are no more cold feet!

So, today I am going all out and bringing you a free pattern for my chunky crochet slipper socks! I love these socks! Grab your bulky skein of yarn and let’s make this slipper sock pattern together.

YARN I USED FOR CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS

I used Drops Snow yarn to make my chunky crochet slipper socks.

It is 100% wool yarn so I can’t even begin to tell you how warm these socks are.

I combined the leg warmer part and carried on working up the leg until the socks reached my knees! That’s roughly about where my warm blood flows to…lol

Drops Snow is a super chunky weight yarn so these easy knee high crochet socks will work up in no time.

They are more of a round-the-house slipper sock but I am very tempted to squeeze them into my wellies when we go out!

What is the best yarn for chunky crochet slipper socks?

Yarn choice for crochet slipper socks can totally make or break the project. Firstly, you need to keep in mind that slipper socks are not meant to be worn inside shoes.

Slipper socks are sort of shoes in their own right, you just don’t wear them outside. 

I find that the primary reason for wearing socks is to keep my feet warm. For this very purpose I recommend 100% wool yarn that will keep your toes super cozy!

And soon as we want to work them up super quick and easy, I would opt for a bulky weight yarn. This also gives them that extra layer of coziness and comfort. 

How to make slippers non-slippery?

The one thing to keep in mind when wearing crochet socks at home on hard floor is that they will be very slippery, no matter what yarn you are going to use. 

However, there are a few things you can use to add a non-slip layer to your socks. 

You can purchase a “sock stop” – this is a special liquid that you can apply to the bottom of the socks in small dots that will dry into a non-slip rubbery dot.

If you do not want to purchase something to specifically do just that, I find that small flat dabs of hot glue using your hot glue gun work just fine. 

However, keep in mind one big difference is that the sock stop liquid dries as a flexible soft dot whereas the hot glue dot will be hard and not flexible. So you really want to make sure theft glue dots are as flat as possible so they do not dig into your sole.

I have always been slightly scared of making crochet socks though. All this talk about heel flaps and afterthought heel is making my brains go blah..

That’s why I have created the easy slipper socks crochet pattern that is perfect for a beginner crocheter.

I personally think, this easy crochet heel is a good place to start with crochet sock and crochet slippers making.

These socks would also make a fabulous gift for Christmas or birthday!

To help you along with your first pair of socks, I have also included a photo tutorial as one photo (or 8 in this case) speaks louder than 1000 words!

PATTERN NOTES

• The socks are worked toe up
• The main body of the sock is worked in sc blog to give the socks plenty of stretch
• The top cuff is worked afterwards in rows of sc blog at 90 degree angle to the sock

CHUNKY CROCHET SLIPPER SOCKS SIZE ADJUSTMENTS

• The toe part is worked in rounds creating a circle. The number of rounds of the circle determines the finished width of the foot part of the sock. For smaller socks work less rounds of the beginning circle, for a larger sock add a couple of rounds for wider foot.
• The length of the sock from toe to heel flap can easily be adjusted by working more/less rounds of the foot part
