Complete Step-by-Step Crochet Frog Baby Slippers Pattern

Overall, each slipper has four parts: the eyes, the sole, the upper strap, and the final details. First, make the eyes. Then make the sole and strap, and join everything at the end.

Step 1: Make the Eyes

First, use white yarn and your 3 mm hook. Also, you need two eye patches for each slipper, so four in total.

First, make a magic ring.
Next, work single crochet stitches into the ring.
Then work increase rounds to grow the circle into a small flat patch.
After that, glue a 10 mm safety eye to the center of each patch.

Step 2: Crochet the Sole

Next, switch to sage green yarn and your 3.5 mm hook.

To begin, chain 11 for the foundation.
Next, work double crochet and half double crochet stitches around the chain to shape the sole.
Then check that the sole measures about 4 inches.
Finally, make two soles for a pair.

However, the exact order of double crochet and half double crochet stitches is not in the written notes, so follow the video for each round.

Step 3: Make the Upper Straps

First, chain 13.
Next, work 4 rows of half double crochet.
Then fasten off.
Finally, make one strap for each slipper.

Separate Parts Instructions

Overall, this project has three separate parts for each slipper: the sole, the strap, and the eyes. So make each one fully before assembly. For a pair, you need two soles, two straps, and four eyes.

Assembly & Joining Your Crochet Frog Baby Slippers

First, place a strap over the top of a sole.
Next, join the strap to the sole using single crochet stitches all the way around.
Then glue or sew the eyes onto the front of the strap.
Finally, repeat for the second slipper.

Finishing Instructions

First, thread black yarn onto your yarn needle.
Next, stitch a small smile onto the front of each slipper.
Then weave in all loose yarn ends.
Lastly, trim any extra yarn.

Estimated Completion Time

Unfortunately, the pattern does not give a time. Your time will depend on how quickly you work and how many details you add. So it is a good idea to note your own time after your first pair.

Safety Notes

Safety eyes and glued parts are small, so they are not safe for babies or young children if they come loose. Therefore, attach the eyes securely, check them often, and watch the baby when the slippers are worn. If you prefer, you can embroider the eyes instead. Also, use the hot glue gun carefully, because it gets very hot. Finally, please note that this pattern has not been safety certified.

Sizing Options

The sole in this pattern is about 4 inches long, and no other sizes are given. However, a thicker or thinner yarn with a matching hook will change the size, so test the fit before assembling.

Gift Ideas for Baby Showers

These slippers make a sweet baby shower gift. For example, pair them with a small card, or make a second pair in a different green for a twin set. The sage green in the photos also gives them a soft, calm look.

Crochet Frog Baby Slippers Tips & Troubleshooting

Keep your stitches even, so both soles end up the same size.
Also, make both eye patches the same size before gluing on the safety eyes.
Next, check the strap against the sole before joining, so the edges line up.
Finally, weave in the ends before you attach the eyes.
