Yarns suggested

Sublime Yarns Extra Fine Merino Wool DK

Yarn weight

DK / 8 ply (11 wpi)

Gauge

20 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches in Garter Stitch

Needle size

US 5 - 3.75 mm

Yardage

183 - 229 yards (167 - 209 m)

Sizes available

9 cm width by 22 cm length when placed flat unstretched. The slippers will stretch quite a lot because of garter stitch.

This pair of slippers is worked in flat knitting with garter stitch. To create a nice shape around the toe, short-row technique is used.
To create a nice neat edge, the piece is finished with i-cord cast-off. It’s a great stash-busting project if you have 2 colours of the same yarn. It would also work well with variegated yarn.
