This easy to knit slipper pattern is a variation of my Rolled Cuff Slipper pattern. This pattern has the same foot design, but I know that some people prefer a longer cuff to help keep their ankles warm.

Like my previous slipper pattern, this was written to avoid any difficult techniques, specifically, picking up stitches. That is why this pattern is done in one piece; starting at the heel flap and working towards the toe. 

Also, the extended cuff is worked in one piece as you knit the slipper. I’ve given instructions and included photos to show how you’ll need to flip the slipper so the seam for the folded down section is on the right side. When folded, the seam disappears. You can read more about that when you go to the Hints and Tips section at the end of this post.

Hints and Tips

Leave a longer length of yarn when you first start the slipper. You can use this piece to sew one of the seams along the heel flap. When you end the slipper, leave that yarn length longer too. You can use the length to sew the toe seam.

When sewing the seams to form the cuff, when you get to the part that folds over, be sure to turn the slipper inside out so the seam is on the RIGHT side.

The sizing of these slippers is very forgiving. The garter stitch used throughout helps the slipper to stretch both width and length wise. If your gauge is off by a row or a stitch, you should be able to get the size of slipper you want.

Abbreviations

  1. Thank you for getting back to me. I’ll try what you said and I’ll let you know either way about how the slipper turned out. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it very much. Have a great evening.

  2. I have a question. The first decrease row for the toe isn’t adding up. I k2tog 11 times but the rest of the stitches are an even amount and to k1, k2tog is an odd amount and the stitches are not adding up. Can you please help me? My email is [email protected]. please get back to me I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    1. Did you miss the extra k1 after the first 11 decreases? You didn’t mention it in your question.

      The stitch counts are given to maintain the pattern of the slipper. As long as you are k2tog in the single stitch solid line and maintaining it with a P on the opposite side, it really doesn’t matter how many stitches there are. It’s all drawn together at the end and is hardly noticeable if you make a mistake.
