These knit slippers were one of the first patterns I created.  I’ve made many pairs for myself and given several away as gifts.  I am an average knitter and I can complete a pair of slippers in a weekend.

Pattern for Knit Slippers

These slippers are knit using two strands of worsted weight yarn held together.  The yarn can be the same color; or use two complementary colors to achieve a tweed effect. 

I knit my slippers with size 8 needles to produce a snug fabric that is warm and durable.  A tapestry needle is needed for finishing.

Gauge is not terribly important as I used my foot as a guide; it is most important to have a durable fabric.  I made these slippers to fit my size 7 feet.  Adjustments are easy to make to knit these slippers in other sizes.
