Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather these simple supplies. The beauty of this pattern is its minimalism—just two colors of chunky yarn and a large hook!

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn (size 6), approximately 200g total. You'll need two colors:
  • Color A (Misty Blue): For the sole and lower foot.
  • Color B (Lavender Haze): For the upper foot and cuff.
• Crochet Hook: US Size N/P (10 mm) hook.
• Other Tools: Yarn needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and a stitch marker (optional, but helpful for tracking rounds).

Gauge: 8 single crochet (sc) x 9 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) with super bulky yarn. Getting the right gauge ensures your booties fit perfectly, so take a moment to check it!

Step-by-Step Instructions

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds for the foot, then joined for the cuff. It's designed for Women's US sizes 6-8, but you can easily adjust the fit by adding or removing rows in the sole. Let's get started!

Part 1: The Sole (Make 2)

We'll start with the foundation of your bootie. Using Color A (Misty Blue):

• Rnd 1: Ch 10. Starting in the 2nd ch from the hook, sc 8, then 3 sc in the last ch. Now working on the other side of the chain, sc 7, then 2 sc in the last ch. (20 sts)
• Rnd 2: Inc, sc 7, inc, sc 1, inc, sc 7, inc, sc 1. (24 sts)
• Rnd 3: Sc 1, inc, sc 8, inc, sc 2, inc, sc 8, inc, sc 1. (28 sts)
• Rnd 4: Sc in each st around. (28 sts)
• Rnd 5: Sc 10, inc, sc 6, inc, sc 10. (30 sts)
• Rnd 6: Sc in each st around. (30 sts)

Fasten off and weave in the ends. Repeat to make the second sole.

Part 2: The Upper Foot

Now we'll build the body of the slipper. Switch to Color B (Lavender Haze).

• Rnd 7: Join Color B with a sl st to the center back of the sole. Ch 1, then sc in each st around. (30 sts)
• Rnd 8-9: Sc in each st around. (30 sts)
• Rnd 10: Sc 12, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 12. (28 sts)
• Rnd 11: Sc 11, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 11. (26 sts)
• Rnd 12: Sc 10, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 10. (24 sts)
• Rnd 13: Sc 9, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 9. (22 sts)
• Rnd 14: Sc 8, dec, sc 2, dec, sc 8. (20 sts)
• Rnd 15: Sc in each st around. (20 sts)

Fasten off and weave in the ends. The decreases shape the toe, giving your bootie a snug, comfortable fit.

Part 3: The Cuff

This is where the magic happens! The cuff creates that beautiful, textured rolled look.

• Rnd 16: With Color B, join with a sl st to the top edge of the upper foot (the opening). Ch 1, then sc in each st around. (20 sts)
• Rnd 17-20: Sc in each st around. (20 sts)
• Rnd 21: *Hdc in the next st, dc in the next st* repeat around. (20 sts)
• Rnd 22: *Dc in the next st, hdc in the next st* repeat around. (20 sts)
• Rnd 23: Sc in each st around. (20 sts)
• Rnd 24: Sl st in each st around. Fasten off and weave in the ends.

Finishing Touches

Now for the satisfying final step! Fold the cuff down over the upper foot for a cozy, rolled look. The alternating hdc and dc stitches will create a subtle ribbed effect that's both stylish and stretchy. Repeat the entire process for the second bootie, and you're done!

The gradient from misty blue to lavender haze is simply stunning, and the chunky yarn makes them work up in no time.
