I made this for my daughter, who is 7 1/2 years old. Her foot is about 13 1/2 shoe size to almost a Size 1, and 7 inches long. This slipper should fit a child from 5- 8 years old. When you get to the length of the slipper, measure your child’s foot. My daughter’s foot measured 7 inches, so I made the slipper about 7.5 to 8 inches long to fit, and before I slip-stitched it closed, I put it on her foot to check if it fits.

Once your slipper reaches the length to fit your child, take the ends of the last round and slip stitch across to close it for the heel. Then, at the end, I turned it inside out so the heel wouldn’t show. Now, fasten off and weave in the ends.

Use a J hook for the Crocodile Stitch part.

With your yarn, attach the yarn to the middle of the top part of the heel.
