Tank Slippers by Paintcrochet
What Is Being Made
The Tank slippers pattern creates a pair of cozy crocheted slippers featuring a tank-inspired design. Each slipper is constructed from nine individual crocheted parts that are assembled together. The design includes decorative elements such as a cross or stars worked into the finished slippers, making them both functional and visually interesting footwear.
Craft and Techniques
This is a crochet project designed at an intermediate skill level. The pattern requires familiarity with fundamental crochet techniques and stitches. The construction method involves creating multiple separate components and then assembling them to form the complete slipper structure, which is a common technique in garment construction that allows for shaping and dimensional detail.
Stitches Used
The Tank slippers pattern utilizes several essential crochet stitches:
- Single Crochet (SC) – a fundamental short stitch used for structure and detail work
- Half Double Crochet (HDC) – a medium-height stitch that provides balanced fabric density
- Double Crochet (DC) – a taller stitch used for creating drape and lighter fabric sections
- Chain (CH) – the foundation stitch for starting rows and creating openings
- Slip Stitch (SL ST) – used for joining rounds and connecting pieces
Materials and Tools
Yarn: The pattern calls for DK weight yarn, requiring approximately 300–400 grams of gray yarn (worked with two strands held together) and 60–70 grams of black yarn (also worked with two strands). Designer Tünde Andree recommends specific yarn brands including Red Heart Niki in dark grey, Yarnart Elite in gray, Burcum Classic, and Bravo from Schachenmayer. Small amounts of white or red yarn are needed for embellishing the cross or star details.
Tools: An I/9 (5.5mm) crochet hook is required to achieve the proper gauge. A tapestry needle is necessary for weaving in yarn ends and assembling the nine pieces. Poly-fil or sponge stuffing is used to add structure and comfort to the finished slippers.
Gauge
The pattern specifies a gauge of 4 Half Double Crochet stitches by 3 rows over 2 inches (5.1 cm) when using the size I/9 crochet hook. Checking gauge before beginning is essential to ensure proper fit and finished dimensions. Crocheters should adjust hook size as needed to match the specified gauge.
