  • Knitted Adult Bootie Slippers Pattern

    I’ve been asked by a number of people to knit them slippers that are a little more snug. A surprising number of people like to sleep with slippers on and have a difficult time finding ones the don’t keep coming off. Now, I can’t guarantee that these will stay on your feet all night but with the extended cuff, these knitted adult bootie slippers will stay on much better than any of the other knitted slippers that I make. This particular knitted slipper design fits feet that are a woman’s size 6 – 11 and a man’s size 5 – 10. I was going to make them for larger and smaller sizes, but there was no demand for it ? Don’t forget to show your support and share this pattern with your friends and family on social media. These links make it super easy to do.?? This is also a great pattern to practice your knitting stitches. In particular, picking up stitches and working on double pointed needles, AKA working in the round. Double pointed needles seems very intimidating but really it’s the same as regular knitting needles; you just don’t flip your work back and forth. If you’ve never done it before, don’t worry! In the tutorial below I show every single step including how to pick up the stitches for the heel and cuff. Once you watch how it’s done you’ll wonder why you never did it before. https://youtu.be/cWHkfvvuFlU If you need a more detailed video that shows you each step from casting on to sewing in the ends, scroll to the bottom of the page.

  • Adult Cuffed Bootie - Knit on Straight Needles with bulky yarn

    If you’ve run across any of my slipper patterns before this, one thing you’ll be very familiar with is my unreasonable dislike for sewing seams on projects. I equally dislike working in ends (go to How to Work in Ends While Knitting for more on this). I have a embarrassing amount of nearly finished projects that collect in a box with unsewn seams and dangling ends. Yes. I just admitted that to everyone. No shame in my game. This is another attempt to make this happen. It’s quite difficult to make something seamless when the design calls for it to be knit flat on 2 needles. This automatically means there are going to be ends that need to meet at some point. The idea is to make them meet as you knit so they are permanently fixed together with no extra work. Don’t forget to share this pattern with your family and friends! You can use these buttons?????? This pattern starts with the cast on stitches going around the foot (sans heel). You’ll then work your way up to the top cuff. I’ve pointed out where we’re starting in this photo.  I have a bunch of other slipper patterns you can read right here on my website. If you go to this page – FREE Slipper Patterns, you can see everything I have written to date. If you’re looking for other extra thick slippers like this, I’ve written another entitled Easy to Knit Beginner Slipper Pattern – Knit Flat with Bulky Yarn.

  • Hand Knitted Socks - Free Pattern

    Socks are one of those things that you can make as individual as you are. Made in the round on 4 double pointed needles, it may seem intimidating at first, but really it’s not. And with a little practise you’ll get just as hooked as me. If you are just getting started one standard ball of yarn, like the kind you can get at Walmart, should be enough to make a pair of ankle socks as pictured above. Choose an acrylic yarn or a blended worsted weight. You can use wool, but cleaning them may be a hassle (shrinkage) and cotton yarn doesn’t stretch enough to make a comfortable pair of socks. It also gets up your nose when working with it. Just want full disclosure here ? To cast on, I cast all the stitches on one needle, then take the first 1/3 of the stitches and slip them onto a free needle, then take the last 1/3 of the stitches and put those on another needle, leaving the remaining 1/3 on the original needle.This method helps me to not twists my stitches. I then start to knit in the round.  Included with this pattern are photos of every step showing how to graft the toe, or sewing the toe stitches together. Not only does this technique work for socks, but it is the same procedure for grafting the stitches for mittens. If sone correctly, it makes for a nearly perfect seam. Keep scrolling down the page to see the instructions and pics.  This pattern is available as a read online only. No download is available. Sorry. There are so many sock patterns already, I’m sure a quick search will find one you can download.  A quick tip about working with double pointed needles (DPN). I find that using wood or bamboo a bit better than working with the metal needles. Sometimes, when working with the metal needles, you’ll find that you get a line that runs the length of your sock where you start working on a new needle. For some reason, and for me, using bamboo prevents this.  Also, check your tension first! I use a size Size 7 needle (Size 4.5 if your Canadian) with worsted weight yarn and with the tension of: If you are loving the free patterns, please consider making a small donation to Help Support My Work!

I’ve provided handy links above to help you do just that ? 10 stitches = 2 inches 14 rows = 2 inches Depending on how tight you knit you may need larger or smaller needles. If you’ve knitted before you probably have a good idea of what needles you need.

  • Two slipper styles with one Knitting pattern

    These two slipper styles are actually the same knitting pattern but showcase one side of the work or the other. They are easily made with the same basic knitting stitches and if you can make one style, you can make the other! The pattern is for slippers from a men’s size 6 to 13 and for a women’s 6 to 13. I’ve also provided direct links in the pattern to my YouTube videos demonstrating the knitting stitches required if you need a little help. If you have never picked up stitches or knitted in the round, this is a great pattern to learn. I made a YouTube video showing how to do this for another pattern (you can read that pattern here – How to Knit Adult Booties), but the technique is similar. You can watch the video snippet right here – Picking up Stitches to Make the Heel the Cuff. The stitch pattern used this video is different, but would still look ok when done the final project.

  • Flat knit slippers on straight needles with bulky yarn

    Knit fast and keep your feet toasty warm with this quick to knit pattern. Made with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, or choose to use super bulky yarn, these extra thick, super quick slippers are sure to be a hit with you and anyone that wears the slippers. I had a number of people over the years ask about faster to knit and thicker versions of my slippers using either 2 strands of worsted weight yarn or using the thicker yarns that are available. I decided to do the math and come up with something simple and quick for anyone to make. I decided on the thicker version of my Easy to Knit Rolled Cuff Slippers that I published a while back. It’s simple and made one piece. This lent itself well to a rewrite of the pattern taking into account the new gauge of the yarn. A word on yarn. You can use super bulky yarn. This is equal to 14 ply or No. 6 yarn. How it’s referenced depends on where you live. This pattern also works well, and for our purposes, equals to a double strand of worsted weight yarn (10 ply or No. 4 yarn). As long as the gauge is the same, the sizing of the slippers should be consistent. I found that using size 5 mm (US 8) knitting needles worked for both the super bulky and the double strand of worsted weight giving the same stitches and rows per inch for both. A note on super bulky yarn selections. Make sure what you are using is the one that is like regular worsted weight yarn but only thicker. Using any of the blanket yarns (the ones that are similar to a terry towel type texture) don’t stretch the way they should.  It’s easier to use 2 separate balls of yarn when using two strands of worsted weight yarn for this project. It also lets you play with colour a bit. Using colours that are in the same colour family or have a slightly different shade can make for some interesting variations. Mixing a solid colour with a variegated yarn can also make for unique effects. It really is up to you how you want to blend the colours. Of course, you can use the same colour for both strands.

  • knitted cozy cuff slippers - free knitting Pattern

    I have a number of slippers that I’ve designed over the years and this basic design is one of my all time favourites. I’ve done a number of different styles including my Granny Slippers and Adult Bootie Slipeprs that are made the exact same way, but look slightly different because of the ribbing.  This pattern is a great place to start if you are ok with your basic knitting stitches, but want to try something new. If you’ve been toying with the idea of trying to knitting in the round, this is a great place to start. If you would like to learn with this pattern, I’ve embedded how-to videos into the pattern that demonstrate how easy it actually is. If you are a seasoned knitter, then these slippers will be super quick for you to make as there is nothing complicated about them. If you would like to purchase a copy of this pattern that you can download and print, I have a number of options for you. You can buy the pattern on this website – Knitted Cozy Cuff Slippers– with How-to VIDEOS, Ravelry, Etsy, LoveCrafts, Creative Fabrica, Google Books and Amazon. Amazon has the book in both paperback and Kindle formats. Use these 👇🏼 to share on social media 🥰

  • how to knit slippers - how to knit video free knitting pattern

    This pattern is one of the first patterns that I ever wrote; over 10 years ago now! And though it wasn’t a bad pattern as it was written, over the years I saw some things that I wanted to change. The sizing was fairly general. I wanted to make it a little more tailored to the various sizes and simplify how it was written.  I also wanted to increase the sizes. Though I don’t get many requests for sizes larger than a man’s size 12, I thought I’d make it larger in case there are those who wanted it. It’s simple math so figured I might as well add it. I also wanted to make the sole thicker. It was originally done as a stockinette, and I always feel a garter stitch sole wears better. I’m hoping that with the rougher, garter stitch sole, the slippers will be a bit more grippy; on carpet anyway.  And last but definitely not least, I’ve made a YouTube tutorial showing how to make these slippers from start to finish. It includes everything from cast on the stitches, to sewing up the seams at the end. And of course, the trickiest part, picking up the heel and making the cuff. This actually isn’t that hard once you see how to do it. Below, I’ve embedded the video so you can watch it right here! https://youtu.be/OZ-0hnKxF-M If you are loving this and all my other free patterns, please help out financially by visiting my Help Support My Work Page.

  • FREE Knitting Pattern -Long Cuffed slippers - Green

    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. Love the free patterns? You can say thanks in a couple of ways.

  • Knitted Moccasin Bootie Slippers for Children - Knit on Straight Needles

    After a bit of math and a little tweaking of the results, the child sizes of the FREE Knitted Slipper Pattern is finally available! (You can click that link if you need the adult sizes). Because these are made for little feet, they often don’t need much yarn. This makes them a great way to use up the smaller leftover bits from larger projects. Not to mention, these tend to sell like hotcakes at local farmers’ markets, craft fairs and consignment shops. The smaller pairs are “so cute” making for an easy sale and the return on the investment of your time is great! They’re quick to make and since the yarn has already been bought for a larger project, anything made from the leftovers, like these child shippers, is gravy, baby! If you stumbled upon this post looking for a finished pair of slippers, I have them for sale in my Etsy shop. Prices vary depending on size.

Please note, this isn’t a pattern for beginners, but if you know how to knit a stitch, pick up stitches and knit two stitches together, you should be okay. I used a very different technique involving multiple sets of needles, but no worries! I included photos and now a how-to video demonstrating how I’m using the extra set and it totally works! Trust me. https://youtu.be/ZZ93FyF4qDI And if you are concerned with the number of ends you’ll need to weave in when done, I’ve also created a tutorial to help you with that too! It’s so much easier to work the ends in as you go, though there will be a few you’ll have to do (i.e. when you sew up the seam for the heel), but if you are interested in easing your work load, here’s the link showing you How to Weave in the Ends While Knitting. A new window will open so you won’t lose this page ?. There’s also a clickable card in the scrolling free pattern pics running across the top of this website if you need to find the page again.

I’m publishing paperbacks of the patterns that you’ll be able to borrow! Some are available right now like the slipper and fingerless glove compilations I have.

Break yarn and pull through. Make another slipper to match. Sew seams and work in ends. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or send me your questions at [email protected]. Hints and Tips When starting the slipper, leave a long length of yarn when casting on. You can use this length to sew up the back seam of the slipper and will give less ends to sew in when done. Work in the ends and don’t just knot them off. The knots will rub on the wearer’s foot and make them decidedly uncomfortable. When sewing the seams, be sure to yank on them a bit before working in the ends. You want as much yarn securing the seams so that the seam will stretch the length of the foot and the ankle. When casting off for the ankle, be sure to do so loosely. It will allow the seam to stretch. In case you’re not sure what part of the slipper you are making and how it goes together, I’ve added some pictures that will help. How it goes together. Fold it in half and sew the seams for the toe and ankle. There has been a bit of confusion on how to sew the seams along the back of the Read more

  • Ribbed moccasin bootie slippers for adults - green

    Shocker. Another slipper design 😂 I really do like this style of slipper but after designing the basic moccasin slipper, I was thinking of ways that I can gussy it up a bit if you will. I liked the idea of doing ribbing around it, simply for the additional visual appeal. When I started I didn’t realize how complicated it would be to make the ribbing line up regardless of the sizing. But I gave it some thought, did the math and tahdah! The ribbed moccasins slippers have arrived. Like the original design, this style of slipper is knit flat on straight needles. The only catch is that it use 2 sets of needles. Don’t worry though. I’ve added a number of photos to help you along. There’s even a few videos for specific stitches and techniques on YouTube if you need extra help.

  • Bulky yarn Slippers Knit on straight needles - dark green

    The ultimate thick slipper knit with super bulky yarn on straight needles. These booties for adults (up to a man’s size 14) knit up quicker than the average slipper and are super cozy and long-lasting for the wearer. Who could ask for anything more? Ummmm, maybe a finished pair??? You can order a custom colour and size here – Double Thick Hand Knit Slippers This pattern is the extra thick version of my Adult Moccasin Slippers pattern that has been so popular over the years. As a seller of slippers, many of my customers wanted extra thick versions. Who doesn’t want their slippers to last as long as possible, am I right? So I busted out my knitting needles and a pencil to redo the math. Now you can make the slippers with either 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, or one strand of super bulky yarn. Take your pick. But please note, you don’t need both. Choose one or the other. And a note about the toe flap, this version uses a stockinette toe flap instead of a garter stitch. It was too thick and lumpy to be a garter stitch. But to make my life easier, I repurposed the photos from my original Moccasin Slipper pattern that has the toe flap as a garter stitch. I’m sorry if it causes any confusion. The technique to pick up stitches along he sides is exactly the same for both versions. If you would prefer a PDF printable version of the pattern, you can download it for a small fee/donation from a number of places. In particular, my site here – Ultra Thick Slip-On Bootie Slippers.

If that’s not possible, that’s totally fine too! Even sharing this page on your social media helps me out immensely. You can use those buttons below to do so easily. This isn’t a pattern for beginners, but if you know how to knit a stitch, pick up stitches and knit two stitches together, you should be okay. I used a very different technique involving multiple sets of needles. I included photos and a how-to video to demonstrate how I’m using the extra set and it totally works! Trust me. You can use this link – How to Knit Moccasin Slippers. The only differences between this pattern and the demo video is the toe flap is done in stockinette and of course, double thick (or extra thick) yarn. The techniques are all the same. There is a lot of breaking and reconnecting the yarn to create the different portions of the slipper: the cuff, toe, sides and sole. I’ve created a very succinct picture tutorial showing how to work in the ends as you go so there are fewer to sew in at the end. If you do it right, you’ll only have one, and that’s the length you leave at the end to sew up the heel seam. Here’s the link to see how – Working in the Ends While Knitting. This also a handy skill to have when knitting just about anything, tbh.  https://youtu.be/1_zF6HAzsfY Things You Need And because this pattern is so basic with no pattern of any sort, it’s a great knitting pattern to highlight the colour of your yarn. I have a weakness for variegated/shaded yarns. Don’t ask me why… My grandma did too. It must be genetic. I find the self-striping looks terrible and give it a 1/10. Would not recommend. Worsted weight yarn – 2 (two) standard balls of yarn (215 yards/197 m). Any colours of your choosing. or  Super Bulky yarn – 2 standard balls of ONE colour with matching lot numbers (90 yards/82 m).  One ball makes one slipper. There will be yarn left over from each ball. 2 sets of size 5 mm (size 8 US) knitting needles (or whatever you require to get the correct gauge).

I’ve marked the sizes accordingly. The heel flap may not match up perfectly with the sides of the slipper but it will be close. Hold the garter edges at the top to make sure it lines up to form the cuff. Leave a length of yarn when casting on and after you draw the yarn through when forming the toe. You can use it to sew the seams along one of the sides of the heel and along the top of the toe.

  • How to Knit Children's Slippers - Free Knitting Pattern

    Because it seemed wrong to not have the children’s version of this knitting pattern, I did all the math and here it is!  I’ve made the pattern fit children’s feet from a small size 5 up to a teen size 5. That means you can make a slipper to fit feet that measure 5 1/4″ to 9″ long. Anything larger than that can be made with my other free pattern entitled How to Knit a Pair of Adult Slippers. And just like that pattern, I’ve included links to all the knitting stitches you need to make the slippers. By clicking the links you’ll go to my YouTube channel and I will show you how to do the required stitch or technique. The ad free download for this pattern is available here for a very small fee from this website – How to Knit Children’s Slippers, Etsy and Ravelry. Like the free videos and patterns? Then please share my work on social media! Those handy little icons above let you do it easily and help me so much. If you’d like more information on how you can keep things free, learn how you can Help Support My Work and keep the site free for everyone. A couple of quick notes before you get started…be sure to use the correct size when ending the toe. The number of stitches knitted together differ depending on the size. Be sure to find the one that is for the size of slipper you are making. Scroll down the page to find the size you need. The same holds true for forming the heel flap. Be sure you pick up the right number of stitches or the heel flap won’t be the right length. Without further ado, let’s get knitting! And in case you need a little extra help, there’s a complete step-by-step instructional video here: https://youtu.be/u87aKaGUs9I Things you will need: If you are uncertain or having trouble finding what you need to make these slippers, clicking any of the links below will show you exactly what you need.

  • Knitted Owl Slipper Pattern

    Awesome cozy knitted slippers for women and men with a delightful cabled owl motif. The inspiration came to me while scrolling through the wonders of the internet and stumbling on other knitted slippers that were made in one piece on circular needles but back and forth. I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out, the pattern wasn’t in English, so I decided to design my own! I came up with a very basic knitted slipper design, but then was inspired to make the top of the toe something special. I loved the look of a knitted cable owls on hats, mitts and scarves and next thing you know, this pattern was born! But also realize not everyone wants owls. That’s why I’ve written another pattern with no owls. You can see that pattern here – Free Knitted Slipper Pattern Like most of my knitting patterns, this one is available for download, ad free, for a very small fee here – Knitted Owl Slipper Pattern or from my Etsy Shop. If you enjoy this pattern and my other free online knitting patterns, please consider making a small donation or helping me out by visiting my Help Support My Work page. If that’s not possible, that’s totally fine too! Even sharing this page on your social media helps me out immensely. You can use those buttons ?? to do so easily. Please be warned, this is not a pattern for beginners. I used a very different technique involving multiple sets of needles. I included photos to demonstrate how I’m using the extra set and it totally works! Trust me. Things You Need If you are uncertain or having trouble finding what you need to make these slippers, clicking any of the links below will show you exactly what you need. And if you decide to order through Amazon, it will be delivered right to your door and help support the hosting costs of the website (I do get a small commission from sales through Amazon). 1 ball of worsted weight yarn (average 260 yard, 5 oz or 141 gram ball will be more than enough). I used Red Heart worsted weight yarn when designing the pattern. 2 sets of size 4 mm (US size 6) single point knitting needles. Stitch holder Cable needle 4 – 4 mm beads for eyes. You can use larger ones or very small buttons, too. Needle and thread to sew on eyes Tapestry needle to sew in ends. You can also use this handy tutorial to show you how to work in the ends while knitting these slippers. Try this to make your slippers less slippery Gauge With size 4 mm (US size 6) needles or whatever size you need to obtain the correct number of stitches and rows. Be sure to check your gauge otherwise the sizing won’t be correct. Instockinette 4” = 20 sts 4” = 30 rows Sizes (are written as such) Women’s 6-7 (8-9,10-11, 12-13) Men’s 5-6 (7-8, 9-10, 11-12) To Begin Cast on 44 (48, 54, 58) Row 1- 6: Knit across. Break yarn when completed row 6. Toe Flap Row 7: With RIGHT side facing, transfer the first 15 (17, 20, 22) stitches to a stitch holder. Reattach the yarn and knit the next 14 stitches (the start of the toe flap with the owl motif). Leave the remaining 15 (17, 20, 22) stitches on the needle unworked. The following rows are worked back and forth on the 14 toe flap stitches only! Row 8: Purl across (14 stitches; wrong side) Row 9: Knit across. (Right side) Row 10: Purl across. Row 11: Knit across. Row 12: Purl across. Row 13: K2 P1 K8 P1 K2 Row 14: P2 K1 P8 K1 P2 Row 15: K2 P1 C4F C4B P1 K2 Row 16: As row 14 (Wrong side) Row 17: As row 13 Row 18: As row 14 Row 19: As row 13 Row 20: As row 14 Row 21: As row 15 (Cables; Right side) Row 22: P2 K1 P2 K4 P2 K1 P2 Row 23: K2 P1 K2 P4 K2 P1 K2 Row 24: As row 22 Row 25: As row 23 (Right side) Row 26: As row 22 Row 27: As row 23 Row 28: As row 22 Row 29: As row 15 (Cables; Right side) Row 30: P2 K10 P2 (Wrong side) Row 31: Knit across. Row 32: Purl across. Break yarn. You’ll have the 14 stitches of the toe flap on your needle and the 15 (17, 20, 22) stitches you left on the needle when you started making the toe flap. Making the Sides of the Slipper This is where you’re going to need the extra set of knitting needles. You’ll be knitting back and forth in rows but the turn around the toe is too tight to use circular needles. For this, you’ll put the 14 toe flap stitches on one of your extra needles. It’s a little unconventional, but it works. Row 33: With the RIGHT side facing, transfer the 15 (17, 20, 22)stitches from the stitch holder onto one of your needles. Attach your yarn and knit the 15 (17, 20,22) stitches. Pick up 13 stitches evenly along the edge of the toe flap. (All of these stitches are on ONE needle. (28, 30, 33, 35) stitches on this needle) With another needle, knit the 14 stitches of the toe flap. Leave the remaining 15 (17, 20, 22) stitches on the other needle unworked for now. (14 stitches on this needle) With another needle, pick up 13 stitches evenly along the side of the toe flap. Knit the remaining 15 (17, 20, 22) stitches on the next needle. (28, 30, 33, 35 stitches on this needle) You should now have 3 needles holding stitches with all the points pointing as shown below when laid flat. You also have one spare needle to knit with. You are now going to knit in rows, back and forth with these three needles. Once you finish knitting all the stitches on one needle, move on to the next needle (the point of the needle is right there) until you complete the row. Another way to say it for the following rows, knit all the stitches forming Read more

  • Easy to Knit One Piece Rolled Cuff Slippers - free knitting pattern

    I’ve written a number of slipper patterns over the years with a couple of goals in mind, two goals to be specific. The first is to never have any seams to sew. This pattern didn’t meet this requirement. I offer a heartfelt apology for this.  The other goal is to make them as easy as possible so new knitters or those with not as much experience, can knit something that gives a great final product. This pattern was written specifically to avoid any difficult techniques, specifically, picking up stitches. That is why this pattern is done in one piece; starting at the heel and working towards the toe.  The cuff is made as you knit the piece. Because of the stitches used, it automatically rolls back up on itself giving a nice finished edge without adding any additional stitches or work. I also made a longer cuffed version of this pattern. It fits more like a bootie. You can use this link to check out that slipper design – Easy to Knit – Long Cuffed Slippers. There is also a thicker version of this slipper using 2 strands of yarn.

  • seven slipper styles to knit - a knitting pattern collection

    I don’t usually do posts like this but I thought I’d make it easier for everyone to get this knitting pattern collection. There is both a physical book you can get, a downloadable PDF that you can print and of course, all the individual patterns are free to read on this website if purchasing isn’t an option for you. A quick note on other places that you can get this collection from. Amazon does offer the Kindle version of the slipper pattern collection in all countries. I don’t think you can print the pattern off on a Kindle. That defeats the purpose of creating this post that helps you find where you can get a physical copy of the slipper patterns. Seven Slipper Styles to Knit – Paperback Version If you would like to purchase the paperback version of the slipper pattern collection, it’s available on Amazon only. It is very reasonably priced at $12.99 USD and shipping is included if you’re a prime member. The price is automatically converted into your county’s currency equivalent. Be sure that you order it from YOUR COUNTRY. If not you’ll be charged shipping. I’ve included the links from each country. Unfortunately, the paperback version isn’t available in very county. Canada USA United Kingdom If the patten collection isn’t available in your country or you would prefer a less expensive option and print it yourself, you can purchase the PDF Version from two places. Ravelry and LoveCrafts don’t allow for collections like this. Etsy – Seven Slipper Styles to Knit This website – Seven Slipper Styles to Knit – A Knitting Pattern Collection All of the included are FREE to read online. They are ad supported and can’t be printed. Clicking on the title will take you to the pattern page. I’ve listed the slipper patterns included in the publication below: Adult Moccasin Slippers Knitted Plaid Slippers Ribbed Bootie Slippers Owl Slippers Cable Knit Slippers Super Cozy Texture Bootie Slippers Super Simple Easy to Knit Slippers Eight Slipper Styles to Knit And in case you were unaware, I did another collection of my slipper patterns years ago.
