Heel:

Attach yarn in center of heel. Sc to corner, sc3tog in each corner. Make 4 rounds with a sc3tog in each corner. Leave a long enough tail to whip st the heel shut.

Assembly and finishing:

Turn slippers right side out and fold cuff down to place pom poms.

Make 4 pom poms by winding daffodil yarn around 2 fingers approximately 120 times (or use pom pom maker). Slide yarn off fingers and tightly double knot another piece of yarn around the center. Leaving the long ends free, cut the ends of the yarn and fluff until the desired shape is achieved. Trim any uneven pieces, and use the long tails to attach to the cuff of the slipper by pulling the yarn tails through to the backside of the cuff, tying in 2 double knots, and pulling back through to be blended into the pom pom.

These are some of the easiest crochet slippers you’ll ever make. And they’re so soft too, thanks to the plushy yarn.  Make as many as you can, and give them as gifts.  Everyone will be so grateful they have someone as thoughtful and creative as you in the family. The Pom Pom Crochet Slippers will warm hearts and feet.
