My grandmother, aka ‘Baba’ of Macedonian descent, would make these slippers by the hundreds…maybe thousands?! After wearing out yet another pair, I knew it was time to redesign these simple beauties before they are lost. The original design was more of a slip-on traditional slipper pattern. I have redesigned the slipper to be more of a “bootie” or “vamp” style slipper. Her original colour work design is the same. She was the best person I knew. My mentor of all things in knitting, crochet, cooking, baking and all other things good, I miss her very much. She would be so happy to know that others were knitting her design. Please enjoy.

Notes: This pattern is written for ‘Magic Loop’ and knitting in the round with double pointed needles method. The pattern indicates adjustments for either ‘Magic Loop’ or DPN.
This pattern can be knit with or without the chart.
