Since my little girls were babies, I fell in love with Mary Jane shoes as one as my most favorite items to make, either by sewing or crochet.
So every now and then, when I’m getting the chance, I’m playing around with shoes.
Nevertheless, when my girls got their first dolls, one of the first items in the dolls’ wardrobe was crochet shoes.
Last week for their birthday, we gave them baby dolls as birthday presents.
Yesterday the one girl came to me, asking to make shoes for her “baby” as her feet gets cold (as it is winter this time of year in the Southern Hemisphere).
I grabbed some yarn and started putting something together.
And wha-la!!
I wanted to call them “The 5-minute Doll Slippers” as it is really so quick to make them.
But I decided to stick to a simple “My Doll Slippers”.

Pattern Notes
- This pattern in written in American English terminology.
- Although I used the Colours of Grace 10-ply yarn, this pattern also works perfectly when I use 2 strands of the Vinnis Colours’ Nikkim which is a 7-ply yarn.
