These cute slippers are inspired by the ones my grandma used to make when I was a kid. I’ve been browsing the Internet for a similar pattern to make a pair myself, but what I realized was that many of them had this ugly seam at the front. So I came up with my own pattern. The slippers are knit from heel to toes, initially flat, then using DPNs to work in the round. This way the only seam is the one at the back. Thanks to beautiful crocheted flowers and delicate crochet border they have a breezy womanly feel.

You’ll need:
4,5 mm knitting needle
4,5 mm double-pointed needles
4,5 mm crochet hook
1 skein of chunky yarn of your choice (main colour)*
scrap yarn in contrasting colour
tapestry needle
ruler or tape measure
stitch marker (optional)

• For extra comfort and warmth choose thicker yarn than you would normally use.

Gauge: 16 sts and 29 rows = 10 cm

Dimensions of a finished slipper:
height: 10 cm
width: 11 cm (when laid flat)
length: depending on the size (24 cm for size 38)
The slippers are designed for women’s feet of average width. If you have especially wide feet or for men’s sizes, I suggest using larger needles.

selvedge stitches
