Winter Headbands – FREE Knit Flat Knitting Patterns
Knit a simple headband or ear warmer. Perfect for new knitters, the simple version uses very basic stitches and include how-to videos to show you how to knit 2 stitches together and make one (make an increase). It’s very plain and great for those who want a practical and thinner ear warmer to wear under something like a hoodie or a hard hat. I’m looking at you patch and construction workers π If you want something a little fancier, I have the same basic headband but with a cable top edging. It can add a bit of a crown-like feature if you are anything but basic. It still has a fairly flat profile so can be worn under other hoods if necessary. Regardless of which style you choose to make, they are both very quick projects. Made with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn, they work up fast. Great for a last minute gift and perfect to sell at craft fairs and online and IRL markets. The pattern is very repetitive and I’ve written out the rows as necessary. You can place stitch markers, like the ones shown in the plain headband demo photo, to help keep track of rows and the increase and decrease sections. Theyβre helpful, but not required. Not a fan of reading things online or would like to print this pattern? You can download the ad free PDF version of this pattern from my Shopify shop, from Buy Me A Coffee or from my Etsy Shop. If you shop on Amazon I also have the Kindle and paperback versions. Links coming soon. Love the pattern and want to let other people know about it? I’ve added these super easy share buttons. Simply tap and share anywhere you are on social media. Things You Need You can make the mittens 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. Worsted weight yarn β 2 (two) balls of yarn (215 yards/197 m). You’ll have leftover yarn. or Super Bulky yarn β (186 yards/170 m) like Bernat or Lion brand. Not all super bulky yarn is as thick as others. A Bulkyyarn may also work if it’s on the thicker side. As long as your gauge is the same your sizing will be accurate. 5 mm (8 US) knitting needles Cable needle Tapestry needle β to sew seams and work in ends Stitch markers – optional Gauge In garter stitch 16 stitches every 4 inches (10 cm) 26 rows every 4 inches (10 cm) Sizes are written as such: sm/m (lg/xlg) 20 – 21 inches (22-24 inches) Simple Style Headband If you need help with K2tog or M1, there are videos in the Abbreviations section to show you how.

Diamonds Dishcloth and Coasters β FREE Knitting Pattern
The dishcloth obsession continues, though I am getting a bit weary of these. Time to get around to making more art pieces. So I’m providing this in two sizes – roughly 7 inches square and 8 inches square. The smaller size seemed almost a smidgen too small but the larger one seemed a bit larger than I would like. I suppose it could have easily been fixed with changing needle sizes but I figured I’d let others deal with that. With that said, this knitting pattern is written accordingly. The larger size repeat counts are in brackets. I also updated this version and added the stitch counts to make the coaster. It’s important to note that for this specific knitting pattern, odd rows are NOT the right side of your work. The dropping and picking up stitches happens on what would be usually considered the WRONG side or all even rows. So in short, the right side of your work is all the EVEN rows. Also, I’ve included a bunch of photos to help you along with YO, dropping stitches, slipping stitches and making the crossed over stitches. The YO, slipping and dropping stitches are standard stitches and if you’re an experienced knitter, you probably won’t need the photos. I’ve included the photos as you go along in the pattern, but if you already feel comfortable with these stitches, the pattern is also written without the photos further down the post here – the pattern without the photos. If you would like to print this pattern or read it without the ads, there are a few options. You can buy it from my Shopify shop here – Diamonds Dishcloth and Coaster Printable Knitting Pattern, or purchase it from my Etsy shop, Buy Me A Coffee or for your Kindle and as a paperback from Amazon. I’m also trying a new retailer called CreativeFabrica. Let me know what you think! If you are loving the free patterns, please consider helping me out offsetting the hosting costs of the website.

Edging To make things as easy as possible, I’ve embedded the (very) old video I made demonstrating how to do this technique. It’s basically a backwards single crochet (Bsc) that creates a more ropey kind of look. You may have to play around a bit with the size of hook that’s going to work the best for you. For me, based on my tension for knitting the dishcloth and tension for how I crochet, a 3.75 mm crochet hook worked best. Row 1: With right side facing, and in the first cast off stitch that you can easily insert your hook, Bsc (backwards single crochet) around edge. Bsc in every 2nd cast off stitch along the top and bottom edges Skip every other stitch. Insert your hook like this. Hook the yarn and Read more

Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat – Free Two Needle Knit Flat Pattern
Knit flat on 2 straight needles, the Leaves of the Shadow Glen Hat is worked in an unconventional way that sets it apart from a traditional beanie. This is not a beginner pattern, but for knitters ready for a rewarding challenge, the journey is well worth it. The construction unfolds gradually, with cables forming flowing stems and sculpted leaves emerging as you work. If the shaping feels unexpected at first, trust the process. Each step builds toward a warm, fitted hood-style beanie with striking texture and depth. Clear photos and step by step video tutorials guide you through the cabling and leaf techniques, giving you the support you need as the design comes together into something truly distinctive. If you love the leaf design but would prefer a more traditional beanie shape to your hat, you can take a peak at this pattern. It’s my Autumn Leaf Winter Beanie Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern. There is also a similar hat I designed but the leaves are a standard cable pattern. It’s called Woodland Wanderer Knit Hat β FREE Knitting Pattern Not a fan of reading things online or would like to print this pattern?

I found 7 leaves were a good length for most adult heads. Each leaf, when matching the gauge as given, is about 2.25 inches (5.75 cm long). If you want a smaller child size, make less leaves, and pick up less stitches when making the hat top. If larger, make an extra leaf and pick up more stitches.Β Cast on 19 Row 1: K4 P9 K5 P1 Row 2: K1 P4 C1B K8 P4 Row 3: C4F P7 C1B P1 C4B P1 β₯ Row 4: K1 P4 K2 C1B K6 P4 Row 5: K4 P4 P2tog M1 K1 M1 P3 K4 P1 (the photos show the second M1 in this row).

FREE Knitting Pattern – Cable Fingerless Gloves
The season is getting colder again, the few apples on my trees are turning red and my mind turns back towards knitting. And oh boy, am I coming up with a bunch of knitting designs! Now here’s to finding the time to publish them all. Work is also back to full-time so that’s great news ? A couple of things about this knitting pattern before we grab our favourite worsted weight yarn, double pointed and cable needles and get to work. Like my Owl Fingerless Gloves pattern, I am keeping the stitch count the same and only changing the needles size to change the size of the glove. The pattern on the back of the hand stays proportional in size and placement on the glove remains the same for a better overall look. I made a number of different lengths of the glove too, for demonstrative purposes. The taupe with flecks (apparently it’s also known as tweed, who knew) is the pattern exactly as written. I repeated the cable pattern once for the grey pair and 4 times for the purple tweed/flecked. There’s a note in the pattern what rows make up the 5 plait cable pattern. Why do 3 cables when you can do 5? I’ve always been a bit of an overachiever. The downloadable PDF version is completed and uploaded it to all my distributors. You can find it on the following fine and upstanding websites – Etsy, Ravelry, LoveCrafts and in my Shopify shop. If you don’t want or can’t afford to give anything. I get it. You can give a shoutout or share on your social media instead. It’s free to do and will only take you a minute. Handy links are below Want other knitted mitten patterns that are for texting or cover the ends of your fingers? I have those too. You can check out my How to Knit Texting Mittens and How to Knit Flip Mitts. And for those who actually take the time to read these long-winded introβs, I also have β How to Knit Fingerless Gloves. It uses finer yarn, smaller needles and is sized with different stitch and row counts. It is very plain Jane and it’s the yarn that makes this one pop. Ok. Enough of that. Let’s get knitting!!! Things you will need: worsted weight yarnΒ – I usedΒ Red Heart worsted weight (AKA size 4 or 8 ply) yarnΒ when designing the pattern but any kind will do. Set of 4 double pointed needles (see note on sizing) Stitch holder Tapestry needleΒ to sew the hole by the thumb and work in ends Cable needle A Note on Sizing: As I mentioned previously, the sizing for this pattern is done a little differently. Instead of different stitch counts which I normally do, I’m changing the size of the needles. Chances are good that if you know how to knit in the round, you already have these size needles anyways. If not, it’s a good excuse to go to your favourite yarn store to pick up the needles you’ll need. And since you’re there, check out the yarn sales. You’d be foolish not to. My standard for sizing was my hand and designed the knitting pattern according to what kind of rubber gloves fit me comfortably. I wear a medium sized rubber glove and the medium sized glove fits perfectly. You may need to use different sized needles to get the correct gauge, but this pattern is very forgiving if you’re a bit off. Small size 4 mm (US size 6) dpn 10 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 13 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Medium size 5 mm (US size 8) dpn 9 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 12 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Large size 6 mm (US size 10) dpn 8 stitches every 2 inches (5 cm) 11 rows every 2 inches (5 cm) Left Hand Cast on 36 Row 1-8: K1 P1 around Row 9: K4 P1 K15 P1 K15 Row 10: K4 P1 C6F twice.

Autumn LeafΒ Winter Beanie Hat – FREE Knitting Pattern
This beanie is not worked using standard hat construction. Instead, itβs intentionally designed to unfold in a different way, allowing the cables, shaping, and fit to develop gradually as you knit. If the construction feels unusual at first, thatβs okay. Follow the instructions, trust the process, and keep going. Once all the steps come together, the design reveals itself as a warm, well-fitted cable knit beanie with a comfortable double-thick brim that adds both structure and extra insulation. If you need help with sts, check the Abbreviations section. I’ve included descriptions of how to make them and embedded videos where I could. Scroll down the page or use the Table of Contents. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including my online KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, KrafitNook, and Buy Me A Coffee. I also have the paperback booklet and Kindle versions available on Amazon. Link coming soon! Don’t forget to share this pattern with anyone you think may like it on your social media accounts. It’s free for everyone to use and it’s a great way to support my work without paying a single cent. I even included the handy share button right here ππΌ This pattern is inspired by 3 patterns that I previously wrote. I’m in a habit of combining different elements of my patterns together to make a completely new thing. This is a bringing together of my Easiest Beanie You’ll Ever Knit, Autumn Leaf Fingerless Gloves, and my Cozy Cable Brim Bobble Beanie. You can see by the photos below, how the elements have come together. Clicking on any of the pics will take you to the pattern π Things you need Worsted weight (AKA β 4 or medium) yarn β one standard ball (515 yards / 471 m) will be more than enough with yarn left over. 1 set of size 4 mm (US size 6) single pointed needles Cable needle Tapestry needle (to work in ends) Bobble or pom pom of your choice. You can make or purchase one. 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. It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside the brim this hat uses. Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band around the brim is quite thick and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead. Adult Sizing Small/Medium – 21 to 22 inches (53.5 β 56 cm) Large/Extra Large – 23 to 24 inches (57 β 61 cm) Band The band can be made as long as you like. It is what goes around the circumference of the head and naturally folds back on itself at the purl line between the garter section and cable portion. Each leaf, when matching the gauge as given, is about 2.25 inches (5.75 cm long). I found 9 leaves were a good length for a small/medium adult hat with 10 leaves fitting large/ex-large adult heads. Adjust accordingly for smaller sizes.

Things You Need 2 colours of worsted weight (AKA β 4, medium, or 10 ply) yarn β standard 5 oz (141 gram) balls will work. Please note: pom-pom will require more yarn than estimate given. Size 5 mm (US size 8) single point knitting needles or whatever size you need to acquire the correct gauge. Tapestry needle β Sew seams and work in ends. Gauge In stockinette 23 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) 17 sts = 4 inches (10 cm) Sizing Notes One size fits most adults. There are no child sizes given for this pattern. The Band Cast on 27 β¦ Row 1: K across Row 2: K3 P11 K3 P1 K9 β¦ Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 6 times total if making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ. (6 + 35 + 4 + 21 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 41 + 6 = 127 rows) ** Make more rows before starting the lettering to make the seam centred in the back if making other combinations: Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 34 times total if making βF*CK ICEβ. (34 + 35 + 4 + 21 + 34 = 128 rows) Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 24 times total if making βF*CK TRUMPβ. (24 + 35 + 4 + 41 + 24 = 128 rows) Following the given pattern for the rows, the lettering is made in the 11 st stockinette section. Start the lettering with the right side of the stockinette facing you (I added in one extra row of red in the charts to show the design.) When making the βFβ in the 11 st stockinette section, knit the first st in red, then knit 9 sts in white, 1 st in red, continue with the pattern. There are 2 rows between letters and 4 rows between words. I don’t have any advice or help to offer on how to make intarsia or colour work. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that can help you with this. The band is made sideways. You start at the edge of the βFβ and work your way up. If you need to fix a mistake, you’ll have less to take apart when made like this. If making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ repeat row 2 one more time so you end with the right side facing you. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 6 times total if making βF*CK ICE + TRUMPβ. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 34 times total if making βF*CK ICEβ. Repeat from β¦ to β¦ 24 times total if making βF*CK TRUMPβ Cast off all sts. Band complete. Hat Top With the RIGHT side of the hat facing you (the garter stitches at the top), pick up stitches along the edge. Pick up one stitch in the nub of each garter “ridge”, and for every group of five stitches picked up, pick up an extra stitch between the nubs. If you need a little help with picking up the stitches, the video is cued up to the right spot in the video to help you out by clicking this link How to Pick up stitches on the Easy Beanie https://youtu.be/O3GLJXrP8js?si=d8Mj5TiESPte0Riz&t=114 Work your way down the length picking up a st in every 5 nubs, and picking up a st between the nubs. Knit whatever remaining sts remain after picking up between the ridge nubs (ie 4, 3, 2 or 1 st). The number of sts picked up will be about 76 sts. The number isn’t overly important as long as you’re close. It’s still just knitting and stretches, after all. β₯ Next row: Knit across Next row: Purl across β₯ Repeat from β₯ to β₯ for 7 inches or longer. The measurement includes the stockinette AND the garter sections before the purl line where the natural fold occurs. βͺ Next row: K2tog across. Knit any single remaining sts. Next row: Purl across Next row: Knit across Next row: Purl across. βͺ Repeat from βͺ to βͺ until you have 12 sts or less. End when you complete the K2tog row with the correct number of sts. Break the yarn. Leave a length of yarn long enough to sew the seam. Draw through all remaining sts. Sew seam. Hints and Tips The β U β is also in the word Trump if you would like the replace the β * β in f*ck. Just saying is all. The U is 4 rows shorter than the asterisk but 4 rows shouldn’t make much difference to how it fits. Think of picking up the sts as this math equation. For every 5 sts you need one extra st. So for as many groups of 5 “ridges” you have of garter st for the band, that’s how many extra sts you need to pick up evenly. If you need a larger hat, make the band longer on each end. Pick up more sts to make the top, but still one extra for every 5, and make the stockinette portion for the top longer. If you want to make the hat more floppy on the top, have at it. Make it longer than what is given. Changing colours to make the lettering can leave holes if not done correctly. I’m good at a lot of things but intarsia is not one of them. Do your best. My beanie isn’t my best work either but Read more

Cozy Cable Bobble Beanie – FREE Knitting Pattern
I first came up with this cable while designing another hat, my Woodland Wanderer Cable Hat. That design actually started as a riff on a pair of slippers, then wandered its way into a couple of headbands too. One idea tends to lead to another around here. I eventually realized that not everyone loves winter headbands. Some people are firmly in the winter hat or toque camp. I already had a super easy winter hat pattern, so it only made sense to bring the cable and the hat together. And voilΓ ! Thatβs how my cozy cable bobble hat came to be. Iβve kept this pattern very basic, which makes it a great choice if youβve never tried cables before and want to learn. To make things even easier, Iβve included links and QR codes in the Abbreviations section to helpful how-to videos that walk you through anything you might need a little extra guidance on. If you would prefer the printable version of the pattern, I have a number of online retailers you can buy it from including my online KweenBee on Shopify, Etsy, Ravelry, and Buy Me A Coffee. I also have the paperback booklet and Kindle versions available on Amazon. Loving the patterns and want to support my work but don’t want to become a member. That’s cool with me! I totally get it. If you still want to help, please share this pattern with your friends and family you think may enjoy making it.

You can make or purchase one. Sizing Notes First things first: letβs figure out how big to make the hat. When youβre going by age and gender, the measurements are only approximate β especially for kids. Adult sizes are more standardized: small, medium, large, and extra large. If the personβs head is handy, measuring it directly is always best. That said, knitting isnβt an exact science. It stretches and contracts as needed, especially with the garter stitch inside the brim this hat uses. 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. It doesn’t need to be exact but the closer the better. In garter st 17 sts = 4 inches or 10 cm 34 rows = 4 inches or 10 cm Child Sizing Data is based on World Health Organization and pediatric growth standards. You can also do an online search for sizing if you believe it to be inaccurate. Other organizations located in the USA, UK, etc give sizes as being slightly larger. A gentle reminder that this is knitting and it does stretch to accommodate close measurements. Close IS usually good enough in this case. This design is for children (5 ish) and older. The band around the brim is quite thick and a heads any smaller than 20 inches (51 cm) will be too wide to fit comfortably on the forehead.

You can easily make this hat in 2 colours if you like. Because the band is made separately, you could make it and the pom pom complimentary colours. To pick up sts evenly along the purl row, divide the length in half. You now need to pick up 30 sts evenly. Still too hard to space them out? Divide the half into a quarter. You now need to space 15 sts evenly in the 1/4 section. You can use spare pieces of yarn or st markers to divide the sections smaller and smaller for even spacing. If you’re off by a st or 2 when picking up sts along the band, it won’t make a huge difference. Your st counts later will be off, but that’s no a big Read more

Christmas Snowman Fingerless Gloves β Free Knitting Pattern
These snowman fingerless gloves started as a little experiment and quickly became one of my favourite designs to work on. Iβve been doing this style of colourwork for years without realizing it actually falls under intarsia, only with my own twist that adds a bit of 3D shaping to make the snowman pop. This isnβt a beginner project, but it is a really satisfying knit if you enjoy something a little more detailed. One of the best parts is how customizable the snowman is. You can decorate it any way you like, and I included a handful of simple embroidery techniques so you can add your own touches and give your snowman its own personality. Itβs a fun winter project and perfect for anyone who loves unique holiday knitting patterns. βοΈ βοΈ If you have never made fingerless gloves from the fingers to the cuff, you may want to practice with the basic pattern first. It will help you get comfortable with the construction before jumping into the snowman version. If you would like to try it, click this link β Basic Fingerless Gloves. If you would to prefer to support my work and have access to a printable, ad-free version of this pattern, I offer that too.

Table of Contents Things You Need Worsted weight yarn in three colours: Main Colour (MC): approx. 50 g Snowman Colour (SC): a small amount (15 gram) Cap Colour (CC): hardly anything (6 grams) 1 set of single pointed knitting needles – See notes on sizing for knitting needles required. Tapestry needle – to sew the seam and work in the ends. 2 mini pom-poms β optional for top of cap Assorted colours of yarn or embroidery thread for facial features and arms.

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 Read more

How to Knit Fingerless Gloves β With SPIDERS!! – FREE Knitting Pattern
Creepy? No. Awesome? YES! Knit a pair of fingerless gloves with a spider motif on the back of the hand. Guaranteed to never fall off, the 3D spider is created as you make the mitten. Did you stumble upon this pattern but wanted to buy a pair of spider gloves? Head over to my Etsy shop and you can buy a pair in nearly any colour – CUSTOM MADE Hand Knit Adult Spider Fingerless Granny Gloves Don’t forget to share this post! This isn’t a pattern for beginners. You’ll need to think out of the box a bit for this one; making bobbles and working selectively over given stitches to create the body and head. But the basic glove portion is the same as every other glove with a thumb increase you’ve made, just like my Super Simple Fingerless Gloves only done with a purl stitch to make the spider stand out even more. This pattern has been in the works for a number of years now. It originally started as a knit in the round design, but because of the extensive purling, there were always lines left where the needles met. I couldn’t live with that. So, there was a change in plans from the initial design. First change; it’s knit flat on 2 needles. The second is that instead of including a bunch of how-to pictures, and there were going to be a lot, I decided it was time to utilize links to how-to videos. Everything that may be challenging, particularly rows 25 β 27 can be a little confusing. I made videos that show the trickier parts of these rows. To watch the video, click the link provided. The video opens a new page on the website and you can watch the embedded YouTube video here. Too much blib blab for you? Want to just print the damn pattern already? You have some options available to you. Because of the request by many that they would prefer a PDF download, it’s DONE! You can download this pattern for a small fee/donation. You can get it from a number of places. You can download it from a number of places. In particular, my site here – Knit a Pair of Spider Fingerless Gloves β now with VIDEOS! You can also get it at a number of other online book retailers such as Ravelry, LoveCrafts, and Etsy. And the paperback version is also available on Amazon! It’s available to order in most countries. Be sure to make your purchase in the country you love so you can get free shipping with your Amazon Prime membership. Become a Member Wrong Stitch Counts It is very easy to have the wrong number of stitches created around the spider. This can happen between the gusset for the thumb and the spider, or for the shorter side. If that happens you can take it apart. The other option is to just go with it. Being a stitch or two off won’t be noticable to the wearer. If you decide to βjust go for itβ, line up the stitches done to create the spider to previous spider stitches. In general, this is just the legs. They are very obvious. Keep in mind that you always knit the legs on the right side and purl the legs on the wrong side. Adjust the background of the mitt with your incorrect count of purl stitches on the right side and the knit stitches on the wrong side. For example, if you’re making Row 30, instead of K7 at the start of the row you made a mistake and now have K8. Knit the 8 stitches instead and start the rest of the pattern from there. Example row: Row 30: K7 *P1 K1* Repeat from * to * 2 more times. P1 K6 M1 K11 M1 K12 Abbreviations If you need help with the less common stitches in the abbreviations list below, all are included in this playlist below.

How to Knit: Step-by-Step Beginners Video and Pattern to Knit Granny Slippers – FREE Knitting Pattern!
Learn how to knit cozy Grandma-style slippers with this free beginner-friendly pattern and full step-by-step video tutorial. This is actually one of the very first patterns I ever made, way back over 10 years ago! The original slippers worked fine, but I wanted to update them to make everything easier to follow, especially for beginners. Plus, I wanted the sizing and instructions to be a bit clearer so anyone can make a cozy pair. Now the pattern covers more sizes, from small womenβs feet all the way up to menβs size 14. Even if larger sizes arenβt requested as often, itβs nice to know everyone can get a snug, comfy fit. I also changed the sole from stockinette to garter stitch. This gives the slippers a thicker, sturdier sole that wears better and adds a little grip; perfect for walking around the house without slipping. It really gives these slippers that classic, βGrandma-madeβ feel. To make it even easier, Iβve made a full YouTube tutorial showing every step. From casting on and shaping the heel to making the cuff and sewing everything together, the video walks you through it all. Even if youβve never knitted slippers before, youβll be able to follow along and make your own cozy pair. 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.
