Red Slippers

Project info
Mary Jane Slippers by Purl Soho
Knitting
Feet / LegsSlippers
Me
To fit tightly on Size 5 feet
Needles & yarn
US 3 - 3.25 mm
Notes

Acrylic yarn is not great, but it does keep my toes warm…

Followed the Purl Bee pattern except

  • Used US Size 3 needles
  • Instead of knitting 11 rows (go to the part in the pattern where it says to knit 11 rows), I knit 7 rows.
  • For the upper part, picked up 60 stitches total instead of 84.
  • Knit the upper part with double-pointed needles instead of hurting my hands with the circular needle

I really wanted a tight fit, so that’s why the slipper itself is about 2/3 my foot in length. The yarn stretches out a lot.
