I’ve experimented a lot with slipper patterns, and have found them to require a wide array of techniques and stitches. Slippers are a great gift, but it can be intimidating for beginners to learn how to turn projects, work heels, or work in the round while increasing or decreasing stitches. At the same time, flat patterns that get sewn up often end up having super pointy toes, or other angles that’ don’t quite fit the soft curves of the foot.

To solve this, I whipped together this super easy, super quick slipper pattern! It is knit flat, then the edges are sewn together along two places— along the heel, then from the toe along the top of the foot—to piece the slipper together. Because the whole slipper is knit in a 1:1 purl/knit ribbing, it doesn’t curl, and stretches comfortably around the foot, wrapping it in cozy wool warmth!
