Just found a bunch of un-matched slippers from the “old days” and it inspired me to start knitting some of these again. My kids LOVED these and so did all the friends and family I knitted them for – even the guys! They are SO super easy I almost felt guilty for the thank-you’s 😉 And, I wish I had a picture but once you make this a couple times you can easily adjust it yourself (for different sizes) and I was able to make my friend’s little girl matching slippers with her DOLL! The doll slippers took me about 30 minutes. I wish I had a picture but it was just one of those spur of the moment things I did when I was wanting to entertain the kids out on her farm one sunny day. No pictures 🙁
But I do have a picture of the regular slippers (take note that these were a random pair made from synthetic yarn that my daughter found and loved but natural is best for comfort. Also take note that I have my daughter is modeling a pair that fit her two years ago 😉 and a nice pattern to share. Note that the size of these slippers is size 10-13 (women) so you need to adjust the pattern accordingly.
You need: About 130-150 yards light bulky or heavy worsted weight yarn
Use: Size 10 needles.
Hint: If you want to easily adjust this pattern for a smaller foot you can use thinner yarn and smaller needles 😉
Repeated Pattern: This is the “pattern” you will be using over and over…
Row One: Knit
Row Two: Knit 2, Pearl 2, Repeat for rest of row
Instructions
