Quick and Easy Slippers
I partake in affiliate programs and therefore I may make a small commission if you purchase through links, at no extra cost to you.

These slippers take around an hour each, making them an ideal last minute gift. They are easy for beginners and can be made using any double knitting yarn. An applique would look great on the toe to really make them stand out. They are a generic medium size, so they should fit most sizes, however, you can size up the hook if you need them to be bigger or use a smaller hook if you want them to be smaller. 

You will need
Yarn needle
5 MM Crochet hook
Pink double knitting yarn and a small amount of red double knitting yarn

Difficulty- Easy
Size- Medium

Pattern

With Pink, chain 3
Round 1) 12 double crochet in 3rd chain from hook, slip stitch to first stitch
Round 2) Chain 2, 2 double crochet in each stitch, slip stitch to first stitch
Round 3) Chain 2, "2 double crochet in stitch, 1 double crochet in each of the next 2 stitches" Repeat around and slip stitch to first stitch
Round 4-7) Chain 2, double crochet in each stitch, slip stitch to first stitch
Round/row 8) Chain 2, double crochet in 19 stitches, turn

Hold the row together to join the two ends and slip stitch along, creating the back of the slipper. Turn inside out once finished to hide the seam and fasten off.

Join red yarn at the top of the heel of the slipper and make 2 single crochet in the side of each double crochet and 1 in each of the tops of the double crochets at the toe. Slip stitch to first stitch of round and fasten off.

Weave in ends.
