video shows it reaching a foot length of 23 cm), it&#8217;s time to transform it into a wearable slipper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Folding the Square:<\/strong> The tutorial provides a clear visual on how to fold the completed square. You&#8217;ll fold it so that the bottom of the square becomes the sole of the slipper and the sides will form the top and sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seaming the Heel:<\/strong> Using your yarn needle, you will then sew the back sides of the square together to form the heel of the slipper. This creates the enclosed shape for your foot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Drawstring Closure:<\/strong> For the front of the slipper, you&#8217;ll thread a drawstring through the top stitches. This allows you to cinch the slipper closed for a snug and comfortable fit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phumikhmer5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/A-Granny-Square-Slipper-Crochet-Tutorial-1-864x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phumikhmer5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/A-Granny-Square-Slipper-Crochet-Tutorial-1-864x1024.png 864w, https:\/\/www.phumikhmer5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/A-Granny-Square-Slipper-Crochet-Tutorial-1-253x300.png 253w, https:\/\/www.phumikhmer5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/A-Granny-Square-Slipper-Crochet-Tutorial-1-768x910.png 768w, https:\/\/www.phumikhmer5.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/A-Granny-Square-Slipper-Crochet-Tutorial-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch the Full Tutorial!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Crochet Granny Square Slippers easily Miarti\ud83e\uddf6\" width=\"735\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rp7Qt77Dn1c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is there anything cozier than a pair of handmade slippers?
