Quick knit slippers inspired by 1950s knitted house slippers. You can make these in a day and they make a great gift. Get creative with your color combinations. The slippers are knit flat in an easy garter stitch pattern and then seemed at the heel. The toe is completed with a three needle bind off and then seemed to close the remainder of the top of the foot. The flower is crocheted.

Pattern is for a size 9 shoe. Adjust length of initial garter stitch section for each change in shoe size. For example, for a size 7 shoe, knit garter stitch for 4.5 inches instead of 6.5 inches as for the size 9 shoe.
