The toe of the slippers is finished! It should look like this:
Round 6: ch 2, work 1 fpdc around each of next 9 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, then start cable:
sk next 2 sts , work 1 fptr around each of next 2 sts; going behind the 2 fptr just made, work 1 dc into each of the 2 skipped sts, sk next 2 fpdc, work 1 dc into each of next 2 sts;

(36 sts)
Repeat as rounds 7-8 until you have 7 complete cables, ending with a round 8 repeat.
Cut yarn. Fasten off. Your piece should look like in the picture below (top and bottom view):
Note: You can adjust the lenght of the piece (making more/less round of cables) until it fits your foot as in the picture below:
Start working in rows:
Row 1 (right side): Counting from right to left on the last round you made, join yarn with a standing fpdc around the 7th fpdc of the cable;
1 fpdc around next fpdc, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 bpdc, 1 fpdc around each of next 18 fpdc (be careful to not work around the ch2 in the middle of the foot), 1 bpdc around each of next 5 bpdc, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 fpdc; ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Row 2 (wrong side) : 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of the next 18 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of 2sts, ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Row 3 (right side): ch2, 1 fpdc around next 2 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 18 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 sts; ch 2, turn. (32 sts)
Repeat as rows 2-3, until you have 23 ridges beginning with the first cable round, ending with a row 2 repeat on wrong side.
(Or adjust the lenght making more/ less rows until the slippers is 1 inch shorter as your leg. )
Shaping the Heel with Decreases:
You wil crochet 2 rows with decreases in the middle of the piece. Each decrease row you will decrease 4 sts.
Row 1: On right side: ch2, 1 fpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1dec-fpdc × 4 times, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 fpdc round each of next 2 sts. (28 sts)
Row 2: On wrong side: ch2, 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 3 sts, 1 dec-bpdc × 4 times, 1 bpdc around each of next 3 sts, 1 fpdc around each of next 5 sts, 1 bpdc around each of next 2 sts. ( 24 sts)
Cut yarn leaving a long tail that will be used to sew the sides together.
Seaming the Heel:
Thread yarn needle with the long tail. Holding the piece on the right sides so that the sts on the edge of each side align themself. We will seam around the post of the sts on each side, not into top of the sts. This way the seam will be almost invisible, imitating the front post sts.
Seam the sides at heel inserting the needle around the post of the stitches on each side this way:
- for the front post sts part: insert needle from front to back around the post of the sts on both sides
- for back post sts part: insert needle from back to front around the sts of the side nearest to you and from front to back around the sts of the other side.
Seam any holes created by the decrease sts. Cut yarn. Fasten off.
Make another slipper the same way.
I hope you enjoy this pattern!

My little girl loved the Heart and Sole Slippers for Women that I have previously designed and asked me to make a pair for her too.
This is what I came up with! Now we have matching Mommy and Me Heart Slippers! They are thick, warm and so cozy! :) We love them very much! I hope that you and the children in your life will love them as much as we do!
These pretty and cozy heart slippers are crocheted using post stitches, that create a thick and warm knit-look texture. They are quick and easy to work up; you can crochet them up in a couple of hours. This pattern could become your ‘go-to’ slipper pattern!
After the great feedback received for the Starlight Toddler Slippers, I'm happy to introduce you the Starlight Slippers in women size. You and your toddler can now wear matching slippers.
The "Starlight Toddler Slippers" are made using a variation of the star stitch. They look adorable in rainbow colors, but you could choose to crochet them using one solid color or as many colors as you wish.
This is the toddler size of my Little Elf Slippers pattern. (Check out the tutorial for the color change and heel decrease in the children size pattern)!
At the end of this post you'll find the charted pattern.
*Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I might earn a small commission if you decide to purchase through these links. Thank you! The yarn was provided by Red Heart Yarns.
You can crochet these adorable slippers in the colors of your choice! Pick one, 2 or 3 colors for a different look!

4 groups of (1sc, 1hdc, 1dc) = 5 cm and 7 rounds = 5 cm
SUPPLIES:

- 1 stitch marker or a piece of yarn;
- tapestry needle to sew in the ends.

I have also made a free crochet baby booties pattern, the Blooming Strawberry Baby Booties size 0-6 months, using the same stitch pattern! They also have a matching earflap hat!
