👣 Step 1: Make the Sole

1. Chain 10
2. Round 1:
   • 2 hdc in 2nd chain from hook
   • 1 hdc in next 6 chains
   • 5 hdc in last chain
   • Work on the other side of the chain:
   • 1 hdc in next 6 chains
   • 3 hdc in last chain
   • Join with sl st
3. Round 2:
   • 2 hdc in each of the first 2 stitches
   • 1 hdc in next 6 stitches
   • 2 hdc in next 5 stitches
   • 1 hdc in next 6 stitches
   • 2 hdc in last 3 stitches
   • Join with sl st

✔️ You should now have a nice oval sole.

🥿 Step 2: Build the Sides

4. Round 3:
   • Crochet 1 hdc in back loop only of each stitch
   • Join with sl st

👉 This creates a clean edge and helps the slipper stand up.

---

👟 Step 3: Shape the Toe

5. Round 4:
   • 1 hdc in next 10 stitches
   • hdc decrease over next 6 stitches (to shape the toe)
   • 1 hdc in remaining stitches
   • Join
6. Round 5:
   • Repeat decreases at the toe area
   • Keep stitching normally at the heel

✔️ The front should now look rounded and snug.

🎀 Step 4: Finish the Top

7. Round 6:
   • 1 sc in each stitch around
   • Join and fasten off
8. Weave in all loose ends neatly with a yarn needle.

🌸 Optional Decorations

Make your slippers extra adorable:

• Crochet a small flower
• Add a tiny bow
• Sew on a soft button (for decoration only)

⚠️ For safety, avoid hard or loose decorations if the baby may chew on them.

💡 Tips for Perfect Baby Slippers

• Keep stitches soft and loose for comfort
• Try the slipper against the baby’s foot if possible
