Notes

Knitting these with the yarn held doubled and quite modified.

Sue pointed these slippers out on FB and I just had to make them! So cute! White doesn’t work for my floors so grey is much better suited! Sue also suggested this yarn but single is just too fine and floppy for the job.

Mods: Aiming for a large foot size.

  • Top down all in one piece.

  • CO 48 stitches. (1 edge, 3 button band, 40 pattern stitches, 3 bb, 1 edge)

  • Worked only 4 repeats of the lace. I goofed and thought the repeat was a P2,* 3 k, 2 purls* between so I have 10, 5 stitch reps instead of x number of a 4 stitch repeat. No biggie! The numbers jive!

  • BO the first 4 stitches (1 edge and 3 BB) on the first round of the foot. (For the other foot I will BO these stitches on the last round of the lace.)

This leaves me 40 stitches to start working on the foot. Knit as directed.

I may need to crab stitch around the ankle later for some firmness but so far it seems fine smile I’d rather do that than pick up x number of stitches.

Slipper #1 weighs 88 grams. (Same for #2)

Seems 4 buttons was not enough and I need to find 2 more. I did try to space them evenly but it didn’t actually happen!?!
