11/27/23: This popular once free pattern has been newly redesigned and improved in two gauges and three sizes. The new enhanced pattern, Cozy Slipper Socks is now available for purchase here on Ravelry.


THE DESIGN
“For snuggly toes.”
Slipper socks are one of our favorite quick knits. In a bulky yarn, they’re even quicker—and cozier! The Chunky Slipper Socks, a free pattern reminiscent of our Turkish Bed Socks, have a few added, clever details. They have a nice, neat heel, a pretty slip-stitch edging around the ankle, and oodles of warmth!

We knit this cozy pair of Chunky Slipper Socks using Shibui Murmur. An irresistible, bulky-weight blend of super baby alpaca and merino wool, Murmur has what Shibui calls a “velvety, I-can’t-stop-touching-it” softness. Its chainette-style strand gives it a cloud-like loft and airy bounce that’s sure to put a spring in your step!
