Knitted slipper pattern.

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.

These slippers are for an adult foot, and they are stretchy, so aren't a determined size, though they fit me well and I'm a size 5/38 shoe. Just add a few more rows in to make them bigger, or take out rows to make them a little smaller.

Pompoms make a nice finishing touch............

ditto on Pippa's question-what is the basic size with this cast on?

Thanks--this is what my friend wants for her birthday--slippers like her mom used to make her!

My students at the free knitting clinic here in London wanted a slipper pattern. These are absolutely perfect!!! thanks so much for the free pattern.

Thanks for the pattern. In northern Maine, everybody used to call these "me-me" slippers, pronounced may-may and from "memere" french for grandmother, because that's who gave them to us every Christmas hot off the needles.

When I was a kid I learned to knit and crochet in high school(tells you how OLD I am!) anyhow, we live in Michigan and my dad and grandfather went ice fishing in the winter. This is the first thing I learned to knit and everyone loved them. My dad used to wear his slippers inside of his boots. He said that they kept his feet warmer than any of his big thick socks. I was very proud of those slippers and the fact that my dad loved them was even better.Good memories.

Hi Vanessa
I have been knitting these, but they seem very short. Have used same yarn etc as you, how long should they measure from cast on to stitch marker. I'm a size 7 so will have to do a few extra rows, but even so they seem childsized. Be grateful if you could let me know...
thanks

Very cute! I am taking a knitting class and need a project to work on and this is perfect, thank you! :)

[Val Pattenden]

I am knitting lots of these for Childrens shoe boxes that go to other Countries. They are very easy and can be knitted up so quickly.

I made a pair of these for my boss. I stuffed them with a bright face cloth to keep their shape. She absolutely loved them. Thank you for such a great pattern.

[Charlotte]

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of yohr blog? Itts very well written; I love what youve got to say. Buut maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or twoo pictures. Maybe you could space it oout better?
