Murano Slippers
Murano Slippers are inspired by the iconic velvet “Friulane” slippers that have been part of Venetian fashion history since the 19th century. These have come to symbolize “la dolce vita”, or the sweet life. I thought it was definitely time for a luxurious knitted version! These were designed especially for a Venetian retreat with mYak using their very special 100% Baby Yak Medium yarn.
I hope you feel that luxury and a little bit of the sweet life when you wear yours. ♡ Happy knitting! xo

Murano Slippers are knit in worsted weight yarn and work up so quickly! They are the perfect little slipper, bed sock or gift for someone special.

The slipper begins like a toe up sock, and then we create the sides and back in rows knitted flat. To build up the rear portion of the slipper and maintain the classic low profile at the front, we will work a few short rows. Lastly we will add our contrast colour and finish with your choice of an I-cord or ribbed bind off to the top edge of your slippers.

I have written this pattern using the Magic Loop method, which is the simplest way to knit this pattern. Using DPNs is possible, but is a little bit fussier. Two 24” circular needles can also work here.
-
This is the perfect project to embellish with a little embroidery, sparkle, beads, ribbon, a monogram or whatever you can imagine to make your slippers even more unique and special. So many possibilities!

There are helpful video links in the pattern for the techniques used.

This design has been tech edited and test knit. Thank you all so much!
