Since I made these slippers for my niece, Maia has wanted a pair of crochet ballet slippers for her own… but with spring already here there seems little point- the weather is after all only going to get warmer. So I pulled a quickie and added a couple of crochet chain ties to her slippers from earlier in the year. End result? Maia is very happy with her ‘new’ crochet ballet slippers!
Because I didn’t give a pattern when I made these slippers, Ive added a few pointers below in lieu of a ‘how to’… in case you want to make these crochet slippers yourself:
The ties are actually a great idea for crochet slippers, they hold them in place nicely (no slipping down over the heel) I just wove the ties through the back of the slipper 🙂
These slippers are adorable. I understand why Maia likes them.

Only thing is you really need the foot there to test them out on as you are making them. Super quick if they are though!

Lovely crochet slippers and I like the cunning of turning them into ‘ballet’ slippers. 😉

These are lovely. I’ve made crochet slippers before, but didn’t wear them much, because the soles were incredibly slippery. Do you do anything to make them non-slip?

Yes making patterns on the bottom with puffy fabric paints work well!

you can also use your glue gun and glue once on press the glue kinda flat and it should work great
