Slippers

 Knitted Slippers

Slippers - Basic Pattern

Size 6 knitting needles.

Cast on 41 stitches.

Row 1 - Knit

Row 2 - K15, P1, K9, P1, K15

Instead of knitting Row 1 you can Knit 5, Purl 1, Knit 9, Purl 1, Knit 5 - it will give you a little cuff that you can fold down.  Continue the same.

Repeat these two rows until 13 ridges.

Bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of next 2 rows.

K9, P1, K9, P1, K9

Continue till one inch of desired length.

Toe

Row 1 - P1, K1 all the way across row.

Row 2 - K1, P1 all the way across row.

Do these two rows 3 times.

Last row - K 2 together till one stitch left and K that one.

Cut length of wool for sewing and with sewing needles pull through stitches on knitting needle and pull tight. Sew inside out.

I used size 6 needles and 

two strands of Red Heart Worsted yarn.

You can make them with one strand and change yarn and needles to the

size you want.

To make tiny baby slippers 

I use size 1 needles and baby weight yarn

Instead of 13 ridges make 7 ridges.

Still bind off 6 stitches at the beginning of the next to rows.

(8 ridges)

Continue in pattern till 12 ridges.

Toe - just do row 1 and 2 once (like regular size)

Continue like regular size

I like to put a pair on a baby gift box instead of a bow.
