I've been asked for the pattern for these knitted slippers............ so here goes:
You'll need a chunky wool, (I used Sirdar 'Click-chunky with wool'). 2 x 50g balls.
5.5mm,(no.5), needles.
Abbreviations: K=knit, p=purl, st.(s)=stitches(es), sl.-slip, tog=together, t.b.l=through back of loop.
Cast on 34 stitches.
1st row: sl.1, k10, p1, k10, p1, k11.
2nd row: sl.1, k33.
Repeat row 1 & 2, 23 more times.
(Mark the beginning of of the last row with a stitch marker).
49th row: sl.1, k2 tog., knit to last 3 sts., k2 tog. t.b.l., k1.
Knit 5 rows.
Repeat last 6 rows once more.
61st row: same as 49th row.
Knit 4 rows.
Next row: sl.1, (k2 tog.) to last st., k1.
Next row: sl.1, (k2 tog.) to end.
Next row: (k2 tog.) to end.
Break off yarn, thread through remaining stitches and fasten off.
Join the seam from this end up to marker.
Join back seam.
Make the second slipper the same.
Pompoms make a nice finishing touch............
